TESLA 2021 MODEL S PLAID BRAKE GUIDE FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE DRIVING
When the 2021+ Model S Plaid / Model S comes out of the factory, the vehicle is delivered with rubber brake lines. While rubber is a great option from both the carmaker’s and owner’s perspective, as it is durable, resilient, long-lasting, and most importantly, low cost. However, there are some compromises that come with rubber brake lines, including the ability for the rubber lines to expand and contract under hard braking. This expansion leads to a spongy brake pedal feel, which is actually a loss in the braking capability and response that can be felt.
These brake pads are designed for use with OEM Tesla brake calipers and rotors only. They are not compatible with the Tesla Model S Track Pack Brake Kits. If your vehicle is equipped with the Track Pack, please contact our team for the correct brake pad solution.

TESLA 2021 MODEL S PLAID BRAKE GUIDE FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE DRIVING
When the 2021+ Model S Plaid / Model S comes out of the factory, the vehicle is delivered with rubber brake lines. While rubber is a great option from both the carmaker’s and owner’s perspective, as it is durable, resilient, long-lasting, and most importantly, low cost. However, there are some compromises that come with rubber brake lines, including the ability for the rubber lines to expand and contract under hard braking. This expansion leads to a spongy brake pedal feel, which is actually a loss in the braking capability and response that can be felt.
In turn, to further improve the factory braking capabilities of the 2021+ Model S Plaid / Model S, we’ve developed our Stainless Steel Sport Brake Line Set. For those who demand higher performance and better brake feel from their Model S, this upgrade is something highly recommended. After upgrading to the Stainless Steel Sport Brake Line Set, you’ll notice a firmer and more consistent brake feel during spirited driving. The more-responsive, high accuracy feel will allow for higher confidence and greater precision in braking.
We strongly recommend pairing these upgraded brake lines for your Tesla Model S Plaid or LR with high-temperature racing brake fluid such as Motul RBF 660, PFC RH 665, Endless RF 650, Castrol SRF, or similar racing brake fluids, for maximum performance, as should be done with any brake upgrade. While these brake lines will function just fine with OEM Dot 4 fluid, the OEM fluid will produce a mushy pedal feel in performance driving conditions, regardless of how stout your brake lines are.
This set includes:
- 4 stainless steel brake lines tested to 3000+ psi.
- Laser-cut brackets to replicate the original factory mounting locations and procedures exactly.
- Crush washers and banjo bolts.
Notes:
- Customers purchasing our Carbon Ceramic Big Brake Kit aka BFB Kit for the 2021+ Tesla Model S and LR do not need to purchase this brake line kit, as we include these lines with your BBK purchase.
- Professional installation is recommended.
- These brake pads are designed for use with OEM Tesla brake calipers and rotors only. They are not compatible with the Tesla Model S Track Pack Brake Kits. If your vehicle is equipped with the Track Pack, please contact our team for the correct brake pad solution.
- This set replaces the following Tesla PNs:
- FR LH, BRAKE HOSE, MS, P2 1420723-00-C
- FR RH, BRAKE HOSE, MS, P2 1420724-00-C
- LH RR, BRAKE HOSE, MS, P2 1420731-00-C
- RH RR, BRAKE HOSE, MS, P2 1420732-00-C

Are stainless lines worth it for a street-only Model S?
They are, if you care about pedal feel. Even in normal driving the firmer, more consistent bite gives you higher confidence and more precise modulation, and the benefit grows the harder you drive. The lines are tested past 3000 psi and use factory-style mounting for a clean, durable install. For a daily Model S that occasionally sees a good road, they are a modest, worthwhile refinement.
How do stainless lines compare to just changing brake pads?
They solve different problems. Performance pads raise friction and stopping power; stainless lines sharpen how the pedal feels and responds by removing hose flex. Many owners do both, since a grippier pad through a firmer line gives you both more stopping force and better control over it. Owners often add them alongside a Large Sweep rotor and pad upgrade; if your pedal already feels soft under hard use, the lines target that specific complaint directly.
Do stainless brake lines last longer than rubber ones?
The stainless braid protects the inner line and resists the swelling and abrasion that age rubber hoses, and this set is pressure tested beyond 3000 psi. Rubber is durable and cheap, which is why Tesla uses it, but it trades away pedal precision. Stainless lines give you a more consistent feel over their life. As with any brake component, inspect them periodically as part of normal maintenance.
Will adding stainless brake lines affect my Tesla warranty?
Fitting aftermarket brake lines does not automatically void Tesla’s coverage. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act means Tesla must prove an aftermarket part caused a specific failure before denying a claim, so keep your factory hoses in case you want to revert. Because this job opens the brake hydraulics, having it done by Unplugged Performance or an authorized installer keeps the work clean and documented.
If I buy the carbon ceramic big brake kit, do I need these lines too?
No. Customers buying our Carbon Ceramic Big Brake Kit do not need to add this set, because those braided lines are already included with the BBK. Buy this standalone kit when you are keeping the factory calipers or the OEM-caliper rotor-and-pad upgrades and simply want a firmer, more accurate pedal without the full big brake package.
Can I install these brake lines myself?
Professional installation is recommended. Replacing brake lines means opening the hydraulic system and then bleeding it properly with fresh high-temp fluid, which is not a job to rush. The laser-cut brackets make routing straightforward because they match the factory points, but if you are not confident bleeding brakes, have Unplugged Performance in Hawthorne or an authorized installer do it. A trapped air bubble undoes the benefit of the upgrade.
What does the Unplugged Performance product warranty cover?
Unplugged Performance offers a comprehensive warranty on all parts and installations performed by our certified technicians. Warranty coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship on items including lowering springs, coilovers, big brake kits, brake pads, stainless steel brake lines, shocks, and more. Should any covered part fail under normal use or display premature wear, we will repair or replace it at no additional cost—assuming the component was installed by us or at one of our authorized partners.
This warranty is valid for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, excluding consumable products like brake pads, rotors, and tires, starting from the installation date. Coverage extends to labor for warranty repairs when performed by Unplugged Performance or an authorized installer. It does not cover damage resulting from misuse, accidents, off‑road use, improper installation not done by us, or modifications that aren’t factory-approved.
To file a warranty claim, simply contact our service team. We’ll guide you through inspection, shipping (if needed), and repair or replacement logistics. transparencia and top-tier support are what you can expect from Unplugged.
Will installing Unplugged Performance parts void my Tesla warranty?
Installing aftermarket parts does not automatically void your Tesla warranty. Under the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (www.sema.org/sema-enews/2011/01/ftc-validates-right-to-install-aftermarket-parts), a manufacturer cannot void your warranty simply because you installed aftermarket parts. Tesla must prove that the aftermarket part caused the specific failure in question to deny a warranty claim. UP recommends retaining all factory parts to allow reverting to stock if needed.
What are the shipping options and times?
Unplugged Performance processes orders quickly, typically within 1–2 business days after placement. For U.S. customers, orders under $50 usually ship via FedEx SmartPost with an estimated delivery time of 2–7 business days. Larger items like body kits or bumpers may ship via freight carriers with curbside delivery; customers will be contacted to schedule a delivery window. International shipping is available to most countries, with shipping costs calculated at checkout. Delivery times abroad vary, generally ranging from 5 to 16 business days depending on destination. Import duties or taxes are the customer’s responsibility. To ensure a smooth shipping experience, provide accurate contact information during checkout. For specific questions or shipping quotes, Unplugged Performance’s support team is available to assist.
