Sorry to revive this thread again.
I was searching on TMC for threads on "brakes" to understand what others did to improve brake pad feeling but more important, faster stopping.
Like some of you in this thread, I was wondering if I had air in my line... there's likely no air in your line!
The issue is with the Model 3 brake master cylinder that is
NOT properly secured in place. The more pressure you apply on the pedal, the more the cylinder moves by itself. For that reason, each time I wanted the car to stop "faster" I had to push the brake pedal almost to the firewall. In the below thread that I refer there's a video showing the cylinder moving when someone presses on the pedal.
Ever since this thread was created, a new product from MPP came out this week. If you guys still feel that the brake pedal doesn't feel "right", check out what I installed in my 3. Ever since, I am super happy with how the brake feels.

That said now I'm looking at getting the car to stop faster. I was hoping upgrading the brake pads would help but I read getting better tires might be the right thing to do. I have the AWD model w/ stock brake equipment, is upgrading the tires the way to go?
Thanx.
