Model X brake pad life

[mrpseudonym]

After 120,000km on the original set of pads (2016 Model X) I am starting to wonder how long they actually last. I know brake pad life depends on how you drive, but as someone who replaces the pads on other cars quite regularly and drives the X pretty hard, it is a continual source of amazement that the original pads are still going. Its too much effort to take a wheel off to check, I was just interested in what km range others have replaced pads in their X.

210,000km and still on the original ones.
And it being a 2018 model we don’t have the regen till full stop.

Acquaintance has an S - replaced them at 450k km.

229,000Km and counting on the original disks and pads.

120k km on an S - from what I see here I shouldn't worry too much about them.

"Impossible:" Tesla Model S does 400,000km on one set of brake pads

Watching "Dirty Money" inspired this man to buy a Tesla. Three years later he has driven more than 400,000km on a single set of brake pads, and a single battery.

As others have pointed out the pads themselves could last well past the life of a complete ICE vehicle, that’s not to say you won’t have issues with the park brake callipers or the disc rotors.
