What Does This Do? Nothing. It’s Junk. Space Junk!
Sometimes we create things just because they are awesome. This is art. Art that you can’t do anything useful with. We thought about making a mouse pad, a bookend holder, a coaster, or something useful. But we settled for pure art. We are calling it “space junk”. It is space junk because it was created from scrapped actual carbon fiber from rocket production and its origins were intended to belong in outer space. We are highly confident that you can’t do anything useful with this. And yet, it is a meaningful and pure statement of what it represents – Sustainable Awesomeness!
Spacy Origins: From The Rocket Company Dumpster Transformed Into Art
Within our ethos of promoting sustainability, we rescued this special rocket-grade prepreg carbon fiber from a life in a landfill. What was the original scrap material from the rocket company now has a second life with this project. From the best rockets to the fastest cars, we’ve created a unique fusion of the things we love with this art piece. Featured is an artist rendering of our Pikes Peak & multiple lap time record-holding Tesla Model S Plaid, affectionally named Dark Helmet. Dark Helmet’s image is represented on the space company’s prepreg carbon fiber and encased in epoxy resin which creates a vibrant floating 3D effect of the art and a polished glossy finish.
Extremely Limited Edition Junk
Do you value spending your hard-earned money on junk? Not sure what to get the Tesla-lover in your life who has everything but Space Junk? We’ve only created a select few designed for fans of our philosophy of racing fast Teslas, supporting innovation in space flight, and supporting the creativity of talented individuals. These are all made by hand in extremely limited numbers. There may be imperfections as this is not mass production. They’re made by the hands of one man whose same hands were making rocket components that have flown to space and back.

What sizes does the carbon fiber artwork come in?
Three sizes are offered: 17″x12″ Large, 6″x4″ Medium, and 3.5″x2″ Small. Pricing across the range runs from $55.00 to $295.00 depending on the size you pick. Each one is cut and finished by hand, so the larger pieces use more of the rescued prepreg carbon fiber.
Is each Space Junk plaque identical, or are there variations?
Each one varies. These are made by hand in extremely limited numbers, not mass produced, so the page notes there may be imperfections from piece to piece. The same hands that shaped rocket components that flew to space and back build these, which is part of the appeal. If you want two matching sizes for a set, order early while stock lasts.
Does this fit any particular Tesla, or is it universal?
It is not a vehicle part, so there is no fitment. The artwork works for any Tesla owner or enthusiast regardless of model or year. It ships worldwide and is sized to sit on a desk, shelf, or wall. If you are shopping for actual Model S hardware, our S-APEX brake system is a better place to start.
How fast does the Space Junk artwork ship?
It ships the next business day and is in stock. Because it is a finished good rather than a fitted part, there is no install or appointment involved. It goes out worldwide with rates shown at checkout. Larger orders can move by freight, so contact us first if you plan to buy in volume.
Why does Unplugged Performance make art instead of only parts?
Because sometimes we build things purely because they are awesome. The piece grew out of rescuing rocket-grade carbon scrap and honoring the creativity behind it, alongside our philosophy of racing fast Teslas and supporting spaceflight. It is a small side of what we do next to the engineering work. Most of the catalog is hardware; this one is here for the love of the craft.
