With a curb weight of 5300 lbs. without passengers, you need massive brakes to stop it. I’d guess tires and brakes will not last very long on a car this heavy, especially driving spiritedly.

In daily driving I rarely use the brake pedal. It uses regenerative braking to slow the car down and converts the energy back into the battery. You can adjust how much regen you want.
