Product Details
What it is
This upgrade replaces the stock front rotors and pads on your 2021 and newer Model X Long Range or Model X Plaid with a lightweight carbon ceramic system designed for daily efficiency and confident braking. The kit keeps the factory front caliper, which preserves OE pedal feel and simplifies installation, while delivering a major cut in unsprung and rotational mass that you notice every time you accelerate, steer, or stop.
Why weight matters
Each front rotor weighs only 12.9 lb. Across the axle, that is 25.9 lb total and more than 33 lb lighter than stock. Cutting rotating mass reduces the effort your motors need to spin up the wheels and it lowers unsprung weight so the suspension can react faster over broken pavement. The result is crisper response, smoother ride quality, and improved efficiency on the routes you drive most. If you add our optional Superlight rear large sweep carbon ceramic rotor and pad kit, total rotational savings exceed 59 lb, multiplying these benefits front to rear.
Materials that make the difference
The rotors use a next generation carbon silicon carbide ceramic matrix designed for long service life, stable friction, and resistance to thermal fade. Forged 6061 aluminum hats save additional mass and isolate heat. We pair the rotors with oversized racing derived pads that feature a larger than stock sweep area to maximize clamping from the standard caliper. The compound is tuned for daily use, providing strong initial bite, low noise, and consistent performance across a wide temperature window.
Optimized for daily driving and efficiency
This is the lightest front brake solution when retaining the factory caliper, which keeps unsprung and rotational mass to a minimum. That is ideal for street driving, spirited canyon runs, and even straight line performance where quick launches benefit from lower rotating inertia. Pedal effort remains natural, and the larger friction footprint helps deliver confident, repeatable stops in traffic, on long descents, and in wet weather.

Installation notes and recommendations
Use high temperature brake fluid during installation to support consistent pedal feel under repeated stops. For drivers who enjoy spirited use, we recommend our Stainless Steel Sport Brake Line Set to improve pedal firmness and durability. Bedding procedures should be followed to condition the pads and rotors for best performance. Because this kit retains the factory caliper, serviceability remains simple and parts access is straightforward.
When to choose the BBK instead
If your priority is repeated high speed lapping or extended heavy braking on track, select our Carbon Ceramic Front Big Brake Kit. That system uses a larger caliper and thicker rotor designed to manage sustained heat loads that go beyond daily driving and occasional canyon runs.
Why it works
More than fifty five percent lighter than the factory front rotors and engineered with a larger friction sweep, this system removes mass where it matters most and turns the stock caliper into a sharper tool. You get improved deceleration feel, better steering precision over rough surfaces, and an efficiency bump you will notice in everyday use. Add the optional Superlight rear kit to balance the chassis and maximize total rotating mass reduction for an even more responsive Model X.
The bottom line
This Big Sweep Carbon Ceramic Front Rotor and Brake Pad Kit is the smart way to bring supercar level materials and real world efficiency to a heavy electric SUV. It looks stock behind the wheels, installs cleanly, and delivers a measurable advantage in the places you feel every day.

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.
