Many of the technologies I've listed are continually improved. They're not just a once and done, especially for things like compounds.
Average braking distances for any passenger vehicle class isn't even close to 200 feet, not even for pickup trucks.

Many of the fastest cars also have the best brakes. There are a number of them that can even get under 100'.

If we want to talk trends in poor braking, we can look at Tesla and EVs in general. In many cases EVs select low rolling resistance tires with poor performance. The top quality low rolling resistance tires can be good, but many EVs have tight margins and lower end tires with less grip. It's not just weight. You can compare similar weight vehicles like a Tesla and a Silverado, and the conventional vehicle generally brakes better.
