What's two piece rotor? - By definition it's an assembly of rotor hat and rotor disc with hardware having a feature allowing disc to expand and contract during heat cycles so to prevent the rotor from cracking or warping due to the volumatic change under different braking temperature. other than...

I agree. In general you want to leave the outboard (wheel spoke side) as widely open as possible to help inducing cool air for more efficient cooling; especially all Tesla models (S or M3) have a very tight clearance between rotor and dust shield on inboard. Usually with good help of cooling...

Seems Tesla did a better job than Mercedes in caliper cover. Picture showing MB's GT rear OE caliper (in red) for standard iron brake (CCM is in gold color). This is a CCB retro fit kit RB offers to convert iron to CCB. The stock rear is 360x26mm, front 390xx36mm fits under stock 19" wheels.

That was fast and thank you. I think I still stand correct, from the pic I am certain that it has the same exact caliper as non-PUP except with a nicer cover (make it looks like a fixed piston caliper) and red paint. This fancy cover requires extra overhead which may or may not fit 18" wheels...

I have seen that thread but nothing seems can be concluded about what the "upgraded" rear brake would look like. If someone has a model 3 with upgrade rear brake equipped I am certainly interested to take a look. According to the statement the caliper is larger, but rotor size is the same...

BBK for the rear is unlikely to be offered by Tesla nor by any aftermarket supplier (not impossible but it's quite involved), due to it's incorporated with an electronic parking brake (unlike S which has an auxiliary parking brake). A more practical upgrade for the rear, in our opinion, would...

This picture shows the standard rear brake (335mm) clearance to the stock 18" wheel barrel, not a lot but it does clear. As far as I know (with all researches), unlike the front brake, Tesla keeps the same rear brake for all model 3 regardless it's a base model or PUP.

5x114.3 is a very common lug bolt pattern for Japanese as well as American cars. The wheel was a take-off from Model 3 stock 18" (with aero wheel cover removed).

Model 3 front OE 1pc rotor (320x25mm) weight (used @10,000 miles): Track duty rotors (355x32mm) retrofit to model S caliper (compatible with model 3 hub/spindle) Rotor shown is still a model 3 rotor.

Noted and thanks again for your clear definition on different sub-models. Info is bookmarked.

Thank you, I am learning... So if the default is PUP that means "no base model", if so where it comes a premium? Anyone is receiving or has Tesla started shipping the PUP! (Upgrade package) yet, what kind of brake in that package is what I am curious to find out so are other members. Model 3...

So your "Performance" model 3 is not a PUP? (Performance Upgrade Package?). Does anyone here know (or seen) how different of a PUP brake (caliper, rotor, pad) from a standard model 3, or if Tesla has been shipping model 3 w/PUP, if so any picture to share. I have done all searches (include...

Unfortunately it will not due to different lug bolt hole pattern and caliper offset between S and 3.

6 piston caliper does'nt necessary mean has a larger TOTAL piston area than a 4 piston caliper, which (area) is what the hydraulic force is applied. It's generally true that a 6 piston caliper uses larger (wider and deeper) pad than a 4 piston caliper, for delivering a more evenly distributed...

Front 355mm diameter is a published dimension by Tesla, although same in diameter as S but must be in different thickness due to different calipers.
