2016 Tesla P100DL - replaced the brake pads (not rotors, just pads) at 160,000 miles, not because they were on the rivets, but because they were about 8 years old at that point, and I figured they're probably not designed to last that long - also changing them before they started to score the rotors saved changing the rotors.

Regenerative braking goes all the way down to zero MPH - the brakes just don't get used very much.

This is a stupidly quick (0-60MPH in under 3 seconds, can pull almost a G of acceleration) and ridiculously heavy EV. I get over 40,000 miles on a set of tires, which is good but not great - I suspect that will improve as tire compounds are reformulated for EVs. Newer EVs are lighter, have more range, and doubtless better on tires.

The AWD, traction control, regeneration, and ABS on the vehicle means that it's basically impossible to spin tires accelerating or skid when braking, which I'm sure helps with tire life.

I routinely go on lengthy trips around the eastern USA - never give a single thought to range. Vehicle charges in the driveway, I schedule my road trip charging for mealtimes, and select hotels that have an EV charger so the car's full in the morning.

Tannus Airless road bike tires are just awesome. They're heavier, but I don't carry a pump or patch kit anymore and was running fairly heavy gatorskin tires before, so the extra weight nets out about even. Feels like a 110PSI inflation, maybe a little slower ride - wouldn't wanna race them - but not slow enough that I'm ever going back to pneumatic tires. The rubber isn't exactly solid, it's more like a very very dense closed-cell foam, so there's lots of air bubbles to create rebound energy that makes the ride feel more comfortable.

For my money, Motorola can't go bankrupt fast enough, and I hope they manage to take Sprint/Nextel down with them when they go. I've suffered through three versions of Motorola's Nextel "ruggedized" phones:

The "i1000 plus" flip phone where the most gentle use would irreparably break the flip cover (which was not available to the service centers as a repair part)

The "i58sr" which had no screws holding its boards together (so required a weekly drop to the floor to reseat the connectors inside) and made such a loud "BEEP" in your ear when Nextel dropped a call (i.e. constantly) that I threw one through a car windshield. I had people across the room turn their heads and say "Ouch" when the thing would make that sound - I suspect it permanently damaged my hearing. Nextel's service people disavowed any knowledge of the beeping, and referred one to Motorola. Motorola said that nobody had ever reported this problem before, but then acknowledged that they had no actual way to know if anyone had ever actually done so, since they had no bug tracking or ticketing system (I used to call in about once a month to see if they'd fixed it yet). Finally a Motorola guy said that it was definitely a problem, but that Nextel had insisted they add the beep to let users know the calls were dropped, then told the service people to lie about it.

The "i315" with a smaller screen than the i58sr, but the same text strings in the firmware (so most of the menu items are wider than the screen and are only visible with line scrolling). The developers seemed to have gone through the firmware and deleted any items which were actually useful, such as "Alarm Clock", while adding a digital unit-to-unit radio which only works if you have the cell phone and walkie-talkie functions _disabled_ - a.k.a. a completely useless feature which never made it to other handset models.

At this point in my life, I wouldn't take a Motorola product - ANY Motorola product - if they paid me to take it - and Nextel has tried repeatedly. (I remember some poor Sprint telemarketer bravely going through her script offering me more and more Motorola junk as I told her more and more how much I despised all things Motorola and Nextel.)

The minute the FIC FreeRunner is available, I'll toss Motorola and Sprint/Nextel to the curb and never look back. And I'm just a _cellphone_ user - imagine the poor police/fire/rescue folks who are stuck with Motorola digital radios which don't work inside buildings, and which automatically deplete their batteries if they also carry a cellphone...
