Tesla Model S / Plaid (2021+) Front Large Sweep Carbon Ceramic Rotor + Brake Pad Kit

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.

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.

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.

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.

It cuts rotating weight and adds friction area without touching your caliper. This kit swaps the heavy factory front rotors for carbon silicon carbide discs that are 55 percent lighter, upsized to 394 x 32 mm with a larger pad sweep, and paired with a matched large-sweep pad. Keeping the standard caliper is the point: it stays the lightest unsprung and rotational mass option optimized for street driving.

Less rotating mass is the common thread. Removing 32.2 lbs of unsprung rotational weight up front means the motors spin less deadweight, which the page ties to improved daily efficiency and increased range. That same weight loss frees up acceleration, so it doubles as a drag-strip advantage. One change quietly helps both the commute and the quarter mile.

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.

Each rotor drops to 12.9 lbs, versus 29.1 lbs for the factory rotor at that corner. Across the front axle that is a 32 lb reduction, about 55 percent less rotational mass than the stock 58.2 lb pair. Weight this far out at the wheels is the most valuable kind to lose, since it improves both how the car changes direction and how quickly it accelerates.

It comes down to how much sustained heat you make. This factory-caliper kit is the lightest option and is tuned for street efficiency and drag runs. If you want a larger caliper and a thicker rotor built to survive prolonged high-speed track stopping, step up to the Superlight Carbon Ceramic Front Big Brake Kit. Chasing efficiency points to this kit; chasing track endurance points to the big brake kit.

Yes, and that is the recommended combination for a full car. Adding the rear superlight large-sweep carbon ceramic rotor and pad kit sheds a further 25.3 lbs at the rear, bringing total rotational mass reduction to 58 lbs, or 26 kg. Doing both ends balances the weight loss front to rear rather than leaving the rear on heavy iron.

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.

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.

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.
