Q: Will I be able to unlock the top speed on my Tesla Model S Plaid with an Unplugged Performance carbon ceramic big brake kit?
Installing an Unplugged Performance carbon ceramic big brake kit on your Tesla Model S Plaid will significantly improve your braking performance, offering superior stopping power, reduced fade, and better heat dissipation—especially during high-speed or track driving. However, the brake kit itself does not unlock or increase your vehicle’s top speed, as that is controlled by the car’s software and motor settings. The brake upgrade ensures you can safely and confidently manage high speeds by providing reliable, consistent braking when pushing your Model S Plaid to its limits. If you’re looking to unlock or increase top speed, that requires Tesla-approved software updates not offered directly by Unplugged Performance. Our brake kits are designed to complement those performance upgrades by enhancing safety and control at all speeds.

My wife drives a Model Y as her daily driver and for a commuter car the model Y suspension can be very harsh. Purchased the luxury coilovers and sway bars to help with this. Only 1 mechanic in North Carolina was certified to do it that was in the unplugged performance network and I had problems...

If love carbon fiber like I do then this is a must. Nothing compares to UP carbon coaster. The weaves are super clean, very sturdy, looks great. I couldn’t help myself and got this to add to my carbon collection.

Beautiful wheels. These have the most style. The black matches perfectly with the blue.
To complete the look, add the super light titanium lug nuts and the carbon ceramic front big brake kit, as shown in the picture.

These carbon fiber seats are amazing in our plaid drag car. Looks like it came from Tesla just like that. ???

This is some of the best looking carbon fiber you are going to find any where. Shipping a little on the slow side but well worth the wait.

The UP-05s from Unplugged are a game-changer for my Tesla Model 3 Performance. These wheels have transformed my ride, making the car feel incredibly nimble whether I'm zipping through a Taco Bell drive-thru or carving up some twisty country roads. The aesthetics are on point - these wheels look sick...

I recently installed the Unplugged Performance Rear Sway Bar Upgrade on my Tesla Cybertruck AWD, and the improvement is incredible! The 3-way adjustability allowed me to dial in the handling perfectly, and I chose the middle setting for a great mix of daily comfort and sporty performance. The...

Excellent fitment, packaging, and overall product. The stock bar compared to UP's is no comparison. Installed on medium setting and will be changing it to the stiffest this weekend, which is extraordinarily easy to do.
