I've ran R1 Concept pads and rotors on my Tesla and tbh the bite just isn't as good as even OEM new. If you do want good pads, I highly recommend iSWEEP brakes from r33_RGSport . I swapped my pads to the IS2000 and after bedding in, the bite is superb.

I agree with this. I have run R1 Concepts in the past and had the drilled rotors crack. Pads were ok but nothing great.

I am currently running the IS1500 from RGSport and they are great and super low dust. I would say they felt about 95% of stock.

He states that he does not recommend these for cold weather guys (says initial bite requires some warm up) but I've driven these in snow and down to about 15 degrees and have had no issues.

I bedded them recently and they do have good grip.
