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.

A must if you plan to track your car. I'm very happy with my purchase. The brakes make a huge difference in consistent stopping power and heat dissipation. I feel confident going into a braking corner knowing that my brakes will not fade.

These springs were the first real mod I’d ever done to my Tesla and I’m so happy with the way they turned out. They really complete the look on my model 3. And I was surprised to find you don’t sacrifice anything in terms of ride comfort by adding them. The only problem is that now that I’ve...

I worked primarily with Kirk and he was great. Very approachable and easy to talk to. He talked...

A staple product anyone that does any spirited or track driving should have. Significantly improved body roll and feel of the car. Immediate difference in the speeds I was able to take turns.

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...

Best spoiler out there for your Tesla! Looks and fits so much better than the stock one while improving range at the same time! Spoiler fitment is perfect and still holding on tight 18 months in. It’s the perfect size and the carbon weave is awesome. Great value and looks. Don’t even consider...
