These cars are new enough that they haven't likely needed new brake pads. With regenerative braking, the pads don't get much use and they last a lot longer than you're used to. That would explain why the pads aren't an in-stock item.
- userbinator 5y agoIf all brake pads came in standard sizes, and Tesla didn't invent their own, that would solve the supply problem.
- mark-r 5y agoDoes Tesla have a big problem with Not-Invented-Here syndrome? They seem like the kind of place that would.
- mdoms 5y agoRight, maybe their supply constraints are the reason they're fitting 7/8 of the pads to production vehicles.
