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.

Been waiting for this part from UP since purchasing my coilovers almost 2 years ago and just perfect timing that old links are completely shot and this totally changed the overall feel of the car and reduced tension. Customer service is excellent and will be doing next upgrades with UP

Installed the Tesla Cybertruck 50” Double Row LED Light Bar from Unplugged Performance (48V UP INVINCIBLE). This light bar is incredibly bright with a great beam pattern that lights up the road (and trails) like daylight. The custom brackets make installation straightforward and the fitment looks...

LOVE my new UP-03 wheels. Super light, super strong and they look so good. Super high quality finish on the wheels too, worth every penny. Have had the wheels for just a few days and have gotten tons of compliments on the road and at the track. These are the best wheels you can buy for your Tesla,...

My only complaint is the FSD doesn't work with this on, which renders it useless to me.

Absolutely love it. Compliments on it all the time. I've had people compare the look to a Porsche or even a McLaren. Beyond the good looks, it also gave me some better front downforce. I often take my car to the track and some hard canyon runs so the functionality of it was pretty important to me.

I always hated how my Model Y would sway side to side at high speed on the highway when the road conditions were poor, even with the coil overs I wanted a little more stiffness and this fixed the problem, now it feels more like a Porsche/BMW M.
