Stock breakpads, anyone had to replace yet?

No one here is claiming they are meant for racing. A track day != racing.
That said, Model 3 can still hold its own quite well in something like Time Attack.

That's true, but I've never seen the leather on a steering wheel crack or peel as a result of extreme heat or cold inside the cabin.

This is probably right, but something that is also possible is that you are not using the brakes ENOUGH. Teslas are notorious for rusting rotors making a lot of noise. This is an indicator that you are doing it right.
Fun fact is the Model 3 has a new rotor design to combat this. It is referenced that special anti-corrosion materials were used in the rotors to avoid them from rusting due to how little use they get.

Guys who do track days ought to invest in a floor jack and some wrenches for taking wheels off.
Both Mountain Pass and Unplugged sell brake pads for the 18" wheel, take your pick! Note that the ones shown here are 'Sport' pads and not full-on 'Track' pads. If you want something more aggressive (like me) i'd suggest emailing them as they can do custom things.
Unplugged is getting some more aggressive pads for me in the next week or two.

Unplugged Performance Sport Brake Pad Set for Tesla Model 3
Are there different sets that work with the model 3 that aren't model 3 specific? The reason I'm asking is because model 3 specific after market upgrades currently havea huge markup compared to even Model S and X after market parts. Alot of times they go out of stock pretty fast.

Well, when someone asked what leather, I forgot that the steering wheel was the only true leather we have in our cars.

Check out Safe Jacks for lifting your Tesla. I have a set for my other car and they work well. Both of my cars use the same pads. Log onto their website and put them in your cart but don't buy them. The next day you'll get an email for a 10% discount.

I should have a solution for this next week. A lot of people are at PRI in Indy this week so my research is going a bit slow.
