You will need to change the brakes on your Camry at least once before you can even look at the brakes on a tesla. A tesla should easily go 100k+ km on the stock brakes if you have your regenerative braking set to max.

Just saw this now.. I'm not worrying about anything since I don't own either a tesla or a toyota. I'm simply stating that if you own a car within 150000km on the odo, you can come out ahead in your telsa. But for more than that on your odo, an ICE car will cost cheaper if not the same as an EV, given how much it cost to replace the battery now.
20k to replace a tesla battery vs 3-5k to do a engine replacement on a camry.
Every car's engine has a chance to blow up, a camry' engine is way less likely to fail than a tesla's battery, it has stood years and million miles of test. I don't know what point you are trying to make
