From my 22' MYP front wheel. New set of tires installed in December last year.

What about it fam?

bobaballs 2026-02-12 17:49

Is there a question...?

SaltBrother2914 2026-02-12 17:50

What a detailed informative post!

GreekUPS 2026-02-12 17:51

Seems like there’s some meat left on those.

Cursewtfownd 2026-02-12 17:56

Regenerative braking folks. /thread done.

logix1229 2026-02-12 17:58

Still plenty of pad left!

laceyboy8054 2026-02-12 17:58

Ok, here is more info. It looks like brand new.

laceyboy8054 2026-02-12 17:59

I thought everyone with Tesla knows about it. Haha.

trulsern99 2026-02-12 18:04

I'm more impressed that the rotors looks so clean! You probably don't have a lot of salt on your roads?

lurkingtonbear 2026-02-12 18:06

We do, which is why we’re all wondering what the point of this post is?

Kooter37 2026-02-12 18:06

I’ve seen many say they can go over 100k miles before needing new pads/rotors. I would recommend having your brake fluid changed around that 100k mile mark, if you still have the car that is. But yes, they look great for now.

laceyboy8054 2026-02-12 18:08

No you don't because you don't even understand the point of my post.

laceyboy8054 2026-02-12 18:10

I am in PNW, WA but not close to the ocean.

trulsern99 2026-02-12 18:11

I was a bit unclear, I was talking about salt on the roads for clearing ice, not salt from the water😅

laceyboy8054 2026-02-12 18:12

Ah I see

SimilarComfortable69 2026-02-12 18:19

I love how you claim somebody doesn't understand it. But you don't explain it even after you take notice that nobody understands it. Nice work

laceyboy8054 2026-02-12 18:22

LOL, you are one of them. Good for you.

oghowie 2026-02-12 18:23

People vague post on Reddit now?

drivingaddictionchan 2026-02-12 18:30

you didn't explain anything, obviously no one understands.

laceyboy8054 2026-02-12 18:39

Explain WHAT? The brake pads condition on a 50k miles Tesla aren't enough?

Giant81 2026-02-12 18:41

This reminds me. I need to pull my calipers and grease the slide pins.

Background-House9795 2026-02-12 18:42

Its amazing. The pads lasted about 150,000 miles on my 2000 Honda Insight. Love the regen, and it’s even better on my 2020 MYLR.

elflacco93 2026-02-12 18:54

Solid shitpost. Whether it’s intentional or not…

laceyboy8054 2026-02-12 18:56

Wether? LOL

ElectronicAide87 2026-02-12 18:57

My conclusion based on the post and this response is the OP has the IQ of his brake pad.

ElectronicAide87 2026-02-12 18:58

You got 50k miles out of your last set of tires?

laceyboy8054 2026-02-12 18:59

I'll take it 😀

laceyboy8054 2026-02-12 19:02

You guys are so SMART.

mazsive 2026-02-12 19:07

And what is the highlight here that isn’t common knowledge with a Tesla and brake pads ? lol

subat0mic 2026-02-12 19:10

Good reminder to disable automatic braking if you dont want unexpected wear. At least, I saw it in the UI \~1 yr ago, and disabled it. But those look great. Nice work tesla engineers (and electric car physics). Regenerative braking for the win.

laceyboy8054 2026-02-12 19:16

Yep, nearly 50k

BlueManifest 2026-02-12 19:18

I have 20k miles on my Hankook ion evos they started at 10/32 and are just at 8/32 now

Although 100k mile is usually okay. Brake fluid is hydroscopic so 3 year is the ideal interval.

Kooter37 2026-02-12 19:27

Haha I forgot to mention or 4 years, whichever comes first. Solid point!

drivingaddictionchan 2026-02-12 19:56

we're not all mechanics. I don't know if these brakes look good or bad.

notabear87 2026-02-13 06:11

Isn’t recommended replacement at like 150k miles or something dumb? We really don’t use our brakes
