Product Details
This ultra-lightweight carbon ceramic brake upgrade eliminates a massive 32.2lbs of unsprung rotational mass and is developed to enable maximum daily efficiency, response, and acceleration. Despite being 55% lighter than the factory rotors, they manage to be upsized to 394x32mm with a larger pad sweep area. They are produced out of an ultra-durable carbon-silicon-carbide next-generation ceramic rotors method. Specialized high-performance brake pads are included and engineered with a larger-than-factory pad sweep area specially developed for this pairing.
This kit is engineered to utilize the Tesla Model S (2021+) standard caliper. They are optimized for daily use, to maximize efficiency, providing an increased range. The efficient lightweighting is also perfect for drag racing to maximize acceleration. The advantage of staying with the factory caliper is that this is the lightest unsprung and rotational mass option available when optimized for street driving.
When paired with optional UP MODEL S PLAID / LR – SUPERLIGHT REAR LARGE-SWEEP CARBON CERAMIC ROTOR + PAD KIT, the total rotational weight savings increases with a further 25.3lbs weight savings at the rear for a total rotational mass reduction of 58lbs (26kg)!
*We also offer an even higher performance kit with a larger caliper and thicker rotor, which is designed to endure more prolonged high-speed stopping typically experienced in race track environments.
- Fits all Tesla Model S Plaid and Model S Long Range 2021+ vehicles and any wheel
- Each rotor is 12.9lbs (11.8kg) per corner, totaling 25.9lbs. This is a 32lb & 55% reduction in rotational mass compared to 29.1lbs ea / 58.2lbs front axle factory rotors.
- Improves braking performance and feel
- Ultra-lightweight long-strand carbon-silicon-carbide ceramic brake rotor set (left and right)
- Oversized 394mmx32 with larger annulus for increased friction sweep area
- Oversized large sweep racing-derived Brake Pad to maximize stopping force from the standard caliper
- Forged 6061-forged aluminum brake hats
- Includes Caliper Relocation Brackets
- 2-Year warranty on the nearly indestructible rotors
- High-temperature brake fluid is required for install and not included
- Use of our STAINLESS STEEL SPORT BRAKE LINE SET is recommended for any customer using this kit for high-performance driving
- Customers looking for a racing-optimized brake kit should choose TESLA MODEL S / PLAID SUPERLIGHT CARBON CERAMIC FRONT BIG BRAKE KIT (BBK)
- Requires removal of the dust shield which traps in heat or replacement of the standard dust shield with CARBON FIBER RACING BRAKE DUCT KIT

What warranty covers the rotors, and are they durable?
The rotors carry a 2-year warranty and are described as nearly indestructible under normal use. Carbon silicon carbide holds up to heat and wear far better than iron, so there is no periodic re-infusion or friction layer to replace. Keep in mind that consumable items like the pads and the brake fluid are maintenance parts, not warranty items, and high-temp fluid is required from the start.
Why is this the lightest front brake option Unplugged offers?
Because it keeps the standard caliper instead of adding a heavier big brake caliper. That decision, combined with the carbon silicon carbide rotor at 12.9 lbs per corner and forged 6061 aluminum brake hats, is what makes it the lowest unsprung and rotational mass choice when the goal is street efficiency. A bigger caliper adds outright capacity, but it also adds weight this kit deliberately avoids.
Do I need upgraded brake lines with this kit?
For any high-performance use, yes, we recommend it. The stainless steel sport brake line set resists the ballooning that softens the pedal under hard, repeated stops, so the larger rotors and grippier pads get a firm hydraulic base to work against. If the car is a daily that rarely sees hard braking, the factory lines will function, but the upgrade is cheap insurance.
Is this a DIY install or a professional job?
Plan on professional installation. The kit requires removing the factory dust shield, which traps heat, or replacing it with the carbon fiber racing brake duct kit if you want dedicated cooling. High-temperature brake fluid is required for the install and is not included. Our Hawthorne shop can fit the rotors and set the relocation brackets, then bleed the system so the pedal is right.
Does the oversize rotor kit clear my wheels on a Plaid or Long Range?
Yes. It fits all 2021 and newer Model S Plaid and Model S Long Range cars, and it clears any wheel because it keeps the standard caliper. The kit ships with caliper relocation brackets to position everything around the larger rotor. If your car runs an unusual brake configuration, check with our team before ordering to confirm the right setup.
