Well, eventually the carbon ceramic kits are available https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-s-plaid-track-package i wonder who is the manufacturer of the discs ?

The first sets are arriving. I’ve seen pictures on Twitter. Better late than never !! Who is the supplier ?

Thanks yamanote. Let us wait and see

Yamanote, the Tesla webpage says the new brakes are available “mid 2022”, which must be just about now. There are multiple complaints about the quality of the brakes on the Plaid, and better brakes long promised. Of course brakes have nothing to do with acceleration ( though the reduced weight...

Still no sign of the new brakes ? It is over a year simce the cancellation of the Plaid Plus; over a year since the launch of the Plaid; over a year since suggested that an “enhanced upgrade” ( tires, brakes, systems) would be needed to achieve the stated sub 2 sec 0-60 quoted.

Elon has tweeted that a production model S Plaid has broken the Nurburgring lap record. Hints that faster times possible with upgraded aerodynamics, tyres and brakes. Bring it on !!

I believe the large ceramics will be part of the upgrade package that is due to be available later in the year ( and actually allows the announced speeds). Hope they might announce what was actually on the Nurburgring car, and that the upgrade package will be pretty similar

Pabla, I believe the upgraded brake specs will be released soon, I believe carbon ceramics
