> Break pads on ICE wear out slower than EV due to torque and weight difference

The only time I use brakes on my Tesla is for unpredictable events on the roads or for going from slow to standstill. For everything else, I use regenerative braking. In fact, back when I just got mine, I asked my tire/brake shop about typical brake pad lifetime. They said that they almost never service brake pads on EVs. It's just not a thing.

If your brake pads don't last at least 100k, then you're holding it wrong.
