<br />
I upgraded to the H10 Hawk pads purchased from Sector 111.  Much better feel, response, and power.  Thay make no more noise than the stockers.  I found a nice downhill, shifted into nutral (at about 40 mph) and tried the brakes without regen braking.  They worked great.<br />

To remove the pads, jack the wheel up by putting a jack under the lift point on the side of the car.  Remove the wheel.  Remove the little clips on the inside of the pins.  Push down on...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Not talking about acceleration or torque here, but rather pedal response. In the past, I&#039;ve heard at least a couple of people say that their Roadster felt a bit more responsive with the accelerator pedal than their Model S or 3. Do any owners of both these cars agree?<br />
<br />
To be clear, I&#039;m explicitly talking about the time gap between pressing on the accelerator pedal, and when the car starts to move. In the Model 3, it&#039;s quick (guessing 200 milliseconds or less), but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s instant....<br />

This is my first post here and likely not my last since  I will be buying a Roadster 1.5 tomorrow.<br />
I’m excited at the prospect, since I’ve been enamored by EVs ever since leasing a lowly Fiat 500e...such a fun car around town. I will be driving it from the Torrance SC to San Luis Obispo, at just under 200 miles.  I have searched the forum and can’t much info about what happens to range when the Roadster is driven at 70–75 mph, rather than 60–65 mph for prolonged periods of time....<br />
