Brake pads Tesla or OEM Volkswagen

Since we had good luck with OE, went OE for replacements. So far, a few hundred miles in, all good.

I've done an almost complete overhaul on my bought-from-OG-owner low-k '07 B6 3.6 wagon. DSG from an R36, completely rebuilt suspension front to back on airbags, brakes, wrap, interior, sound system (the list goes on and on) for less than the purchase price of a used-by-who R36.

My father has a 2019 MYP and he still has the original brakes that came with the car new and just passed the 100k miles mark.

Have original brakes on it at 66000 miles.

I'm at 71k on the original pads for my 2021 Model 3. I dont seem to go through pads quite as fast as some people.

The only other good thing from this visit is that they measured the brake pad thickness which confirmed that I need to replace the pads soon. We are currently at 59k and the rears are in the red at 3mm while the front was at 5mm.

I'm kind of disappointed with the factory VW pads that came with my 2019. My 2013 ran for 120K before the brakes needed replacement. Also, these pads leave a lot of brake dust on the side of the car.

I’m not a mechanic by any means (I do try to work on my car myself for what I can fix and know how to do) but I’m gonna throw my own car under the bus and say VW. Why tf do I need specialized tools, and why do barely any after market parts fit my car?

The Atlas oem pads sound like dying squealing pigs well after break in, only fix is to install aftermarket pads

Got a 60k MYLR, my pads and rotors seem fine but I keep getting this super loud squeal sound when I brake.
