Q: Can I keep regenerative braking with upgraded brake systems?
Yes, upgrading to Unplugged Performance big brake kits does not interfere with Tesla’s regenerative braking system. Regenerative braking is controlled electronically by the vehicle’s drivetrain and operates independently of the friction brakes under normal conditions. Our brake systems enhance the vehicle’s friction braking capability when regeneration is insufficient—such as during hard braking, high speeds, or when the battery is fully charged. In those situations, upgraded brakes step in to provide stronger, more consistent deceleration. Many drivers report a smoother transition between regenerative and mechanical braking after installation due to improved pedal modulation. All safety systems, including ABS and stability control, remain fully functional. If you rely heavily on regen braking for efficiency or single-pedal driving, rest assured that brake upgrades will not disrupt that experience—they simply expand the vehicle’s braking performance envelope for more demanding scenarios.

I installed these parts and I am very satisfied. The quality is great, the engines don't heat up anymore and with that magnet I make sure that there are no filings in the engines. A very good investment.

These bearings were installed for me by a shop that unplugged put me in touch with. Their service was excellent. The bearings were able to be installed with zero use of heat, unlike bearing kits for other cards and potentially from other brands. The road feel and confidence in the back end is...

I received my Model Y in October of 2020. After watching many many YouTube videos I was expecting the Model Y suspension to be rough, it was. Some of the videos mentioned unplugged performance. I was willing to invest the money anticipating a dramatic change just like the YouTube videos I watched....

The sway bars are phenomenal. I installed these in my 2025 model 3 performance. I already had the moderate lowering springs from unplugged and after adding the sway bars and the end links made a massive difference. There's barely any body roll and the car feels more planted even when heavy...

Coupled with the FUCAs, the rear arms really help do a proper alignment. Definitely get these if you want to get a perfect alignment for your car, and better than OEM. I put -2 camber in the rear for my track day yesterday and achieved phenomenal handling in the corners. I also tried it out in drift...
