Tesla Model S / Plaid (2021+) Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Duct Kit
The Unplugged Performance carbon fiber brake ducting kit has been carefully developed over more than a year of testing, including Pikes Peak and multiple EV track-record runs. We have developed a kit that not only works but works so well that we feel compelled to recommend it to anyone who is considering pushing their Tesla hard. Front brakes do a vast majority of the work of stopping your Model S and greatly benefit from cooler operating temperatures under heavy use such as on a racetrack or other spirited driving environments.
- Increase performance, reliability and component life for your brakes
- Aerodynamically optimized front ducts and air guides for maximum effective airflow to the cooling veins and channels in most high-performance rotors
- Even cooling of the rotors from the inside out for maximum component life
- Measured maximum temperature reductions of over 200 degrees at the rotor and caliper
- Carefully designed to avoid interference with suspension articulation and wheel angle
- Magnetic front duct covers to avoid road debris entering the braking system and avoid any range impact on road trips (easy to install and remove without tools)
- Replaces Tesla standard dust shield (no cutting of the metal dust shield)
- Installation requires cutting or removal of plastic grill Tesla part #1564699-00-B ($70)
- Compatible with standard Model S brakes as well as all UP brake kits, and likely any brake kit, but professional installation is recommended
- Note: All components are specific to the left and right of the vehicle and cannot be interchanged
- Compatible with any 2021 and newer Model S Plaid and Model S Long Range

How much do these ducts drop brake temperatures?
UP measured maximum temperature reductions of over 200 degrees at the rotor and caliper with the kit in use. The ducts route air into the cooling veins and channels inside the rotor for even cooling from the inside out, rather than just blowing air at the wheel face. Lower temps mean longer pad and rotor life, less risk of fluid boil, and more consistent braking when you are pushing.
Will this duct kit fit my 2021 Model S Long Range?
Yes. It is compatible with any 2021 and newer Model S Plaid and Model S Long Range. It also works with the standard Model S brakes and all UP brake kits, and likely any brake kit. One note: every component is side-specific, so the left and right parts cannot be swapped and must install in their designated positions on each corner of the car.
Do these ducts hurt my range or let in road debris on daily drives?
They are designed around that exact concern. The kit includes removable magnetic front duct covers that snap on without tools to block road debris and avoid any range impact on road trips, then snap off at the track when you want full cooling. So the car stays clean and efficient day to day, and the ducts are ready the moment you need them.
What exactly comes in the duct kit?
Each kit includes two carbon fiber front duct inlets, two magnetic inlet covers, two carbon fiber duct tubes, two carbon fiber rotor air guides with heat-resistant gold foil shielding, two high-temp flex tubes, four flex tube clamps, heat-resistant tubing for the brake electrical lines, and zip-ties. In short, everything needed to route cool air to both front rotors, side-specific for left and right.
What warranty covers the carbon duct components?
These are carbon fiber parts, so they fall under the Unplugged Performance carbon fiber parts warranty and disclaimer. As with the brand’s other carbon pieces, the finish is a base coat and cosmetic wear on unprotected parts sits outside coverage, while the components are built to endure real racing conditions. Full carbon warranty terms are posted on the Unplugged Performance warranty page.
