> I'm not sure about the performance model 3 and it's brake pads but you can get performance break pads that sound like that. Even ones that sqeak at low speed.

No. If you don't know anything about cars please feel free not to comment. Performance brakes can absolutely be noisy but they ABSOLUTELY do not sound like metal scraping metal. I have heard all kinds of performance brakes - carbon brakes, high end drilled rotors with the hardest pads you can imagine, everything. The most alarming sound you'll hear from performance brakes is a nasty squeal. They DO NOT sound like this. You are spreading misinformation.
- aunty_helen 5y agoI used to get custom made pads for my car that I would drive on the street and track. So yea thanks for your concern. Sintered metal pads definitely sound like metal metal contact at low speed and even more so when they've recently been hot. Watch the video. It doesn't sound that bad and I can understand the engineers but probably wouldn't expect that much from a "performance model" Remember my BMW Martin, that ran pads that would make horrible sounds. However the Integra and it's brembos that used to take a beating a Ruapuna often sounded like something you would want to pull over and check out. ;)
