Model X Superlight Carbon Ceramic Front Big Brake Kit (BBK) (2014-2020)
-
Having driven our Model X quite extensively on twisty canyon roads, as well as at high speeds on the circuit, we learned that the braking system on Tesla vehicles are quite good for normal street driving, but had room for improvement when driven hard. Looking for a solution to not only improve brake performance but also life, we looked to the sports car world and the carbon-ceramic rotor technology present on modern supercars. By utilizing carbon-ceramic rotors, in combination with massive, 6-piston calipers and stainless steel braided lines, the braking distance is reduced and pedal feel is noticeably improved.

Having driven our Model X quite extensively on twisty canyon roads, as well as at high speeds on the circuit, we learned that the braking system on Tesla vehicles are quite good for normal street driving, but had room for improvement when driven hard. Looking for a solution to not only improve brake performance but also life, we looked to the sports car world and the carbon-ceramic rotor technology present on modern supercars. By utilizing carbon-ceramic rotors, in combination with massive, 6-piston calipers and stainless steel braided lines, the braking distance is reduced and pedal feel is noticeably improved.
An additional benefit of carbon-ceramic rotors is their considerably lower unsprung weight as opposed to traditional iron units. “Unsprung weight” refers to the weight of any component, not on the receiving end of the vehicle’s suspension system (chassis, motors, passengers, etc.). Lower unsprung weight translates to a reduction in the amount of inertia for the components managed by the suspension, which in turn leads to a more responsive ride and more agile handling feel. Additionally, reductions to the overall weight of the vehicle help to improve range and efficiency.

Will upgrading my brakes void the Tesla warranty?
Tesla’s warranty covers factory-installed parts, but it does not automatically void your warranty if you install aftermarket components like Unplugged Performance brake kits. Under U.S. law (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act), Tesla must prove that an aftermarket part caused a failure in order to deny warranty coverage. Our parts are engineered to work harmoniously with Tesla OEM Brake systems and can be professionally installed by Unplugged Performance in Hawthorne, CA or by an authorized installer to minimize risk. That said, any damage directly caused by misuse or improper installation may not be covered. We recommend retaining all factory parts so you can revert to stock if needed. Many Tesla owners enjoy peace of mind by using Unplugged Performance products, which are extensively tested and installed by certified professionals. If warranty concerns are top-of-mind, our team can help clarify compatibility and installation best practices to ensure a worry-free experience.
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 Tesla void my warranty if I install aftermarket parts?
A vehicle’s comprehensive warranty as a whole may not be voided due to use of aftermarket parts per the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (www.sema.org/sema-enews/2011/01/ftc-validates-right-to-install-aftermarket-parts). However, a manufacturer may require a customer to pay for parts and labor for a repair if there is direct causation between a customer’s alteration and the product or service repair being requested. It is in both manufacturer and customer’s interest to follow logic and reason so that the system of good faith is not abused. If this topic interests you please read the law as well as your warranty documentation. Ultimately we are Tesla owners and enthusiasts, we are not lawyers and cannot provide legal advice.
