Brake pads Tesla or OEM Volkswagen

Pastiglie freni: le cambi dopo 200.000 km

Make certain your kiddo has GOOD brakes and tires.

I have a 2018 Tesla Model 3 with 60k miles on it. Never been serviced beyond tires replaced, cabin air filter replaced and adding window washer fluid. Brakes look brand new.

With regenerative braking, you almost never need to replace brake pads.

Well, the brake pads aren't stock - I've replaced them a few times.

I have had the Tiguan SEL Turbo for a few weeks now. I was reversing out of a parking spot and the brakes locked up thinking something was behind me. Not a soft brake, I thought I backed up into someone. No car or person there? Did it twice and never again.

The other thing to consider is if you(r dad) use the default stopping mode for brakes and never press brakes normally, the moment you actually need the brakes they might not be in the best shape because there's some accumulated residua on the disk and what not.

OEM VW brakes are crap.

Same on my wife's '22 Atlas. So much so that I think it activates the parking sensors on every occasion when we slowly come to a stop, like in a red light and nothing is around the vehicle to make the parking sensors activate. It's just at 37k miles but I'm considering upgrading the pads and rotors!

I had to replace my brakes early as well, and I was also past the extended warranty campaign.
