Product Details
If you want faster laps, more confidence in the canyons, and safer stops in daily traffic, upgrading brakes is the smartest performance decision you can make for your Model 3. Power helps you get down the straight. Brakes decide how late you can stay on throttle and how precisely you can rotate the car. The Tesla Model 3 Stage 2 “Core” Performance Brake System focuses on that truth with a balanced, track-proven package that elevates pedal feel, heat capacity, and repeatability on every drive.
At the heart of the system is our UP x PFC Iron 6-Piston Front Big Brake Kit. Massive 394 x 35 mm, two-piece PFC V3 iron rotors pair with lightweight, rigid 6-piston monoblock calipers to deliver powerful initial bite and stable modulation, session after session. PFC’s patented Direct Drive V3 architecture allows the rotor to expand and contract freely, which reduces the risk of warping, helps control judder, and keeps the assembly quiet without the rattles common to many two-piece designs. The result is consistent pedal travel and confidence under repeated hard stops, even when you dial back regen for thermal management.
Out back, UP Street and Track rear pads add the extra bite and temperature headroom the stock setup lacks when you push. The compound is tuned for street and track duty, so you get improved stopping power, longer fade resistance, and a reassuring, progressive pedal without the harsh noise or dust of pure race pads. Together with the front big brake kit, these rear pads balance the car, shorten stopping distances, and make the chassis easier to place at the limit.
To complete the system, our stainless steel braided brake lines replace the factory rubber hoses. Rubber expands under pressure, which softens pedal feel right when you need precision. The TUV-produced stainless lines resist expansion, so the pressure you command at the pedal reaches the calipers more directly. The payoff is a firmer, more communicative pedal and finer control over trail braking and rotation.
Looks matter too. The oversized 394 mm front rotors and 6-piston calipers fill the wheel with purpose. Paired with UP forged wheels, the stance turns heads before you even touch the pedal. On track, the visual impact is matched by real performance: later braking marks, steadier lap-to-lap feel, and fewer compromises when managing heat through a long session.
We call this the “Core” Performance package because it is the foundation we recommend to nearly every Model 3 owner who drives hard. It upgrades the essentials without unnecessary complexity and delivers a step-change in confidence on street and track.

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.
