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.

The UP-03 lightweight & strong wheels are by far THE best wheels I have purchased for my Teslas. These wheels are installed on my Model 3, Y & X. These wheels not only turn heads but also improve efficiency and noticeable difference in speed due to their light weight characteristics. These wheels...

Tesla Model Y Luxury Suspension Kit
RATED 5.0
My 2021 Model Y performance rode very harsh and bumpy. Like the suspension bottomed out on every pothole. I did the suspension upgrade and it’s a HUGE difference. My car rides great now. It handles the potholes no big deal now. I wish I had done this three years ago when I got the car. Sandy...

After ordering the springs I waited a bit because they were on back order. However they were worth the wait. I was afraid that the improved stance would compromise the ride, but it totally didn’t. The ride is improved and the look is perfect! Thank you Blake for the friendly service!

Installed this on my CyberBeast in my own garage. The instructions provided were top notch with outstanding attention to detail. I installed the bar in the middle position. On the first turn I noticed the decrease in body roll. The turn in and mid turn stability is much improved. I am very...
