What I was referring to was the "law of demand" principle. Demand is low for this product because the Model S is very low production vehicle relative to a Mustang, even much lower demand for aftermarket. That said, I wouldn't want anything shorter then top quality on my cars. The Tesla excels...

Correct. Seems like you understand one of the basic principles of economics. That said I'm not sure which cars he is looking at that the cost is $450 and includes a front set of directional rotors + hardware + hat + hard anodizing ( to match my p85 wheels) + shipped + taxes. I asked him and he...

I understand where you are coming from. I have driven several Porsche's with them on, they are fantastic. I will reach out once i confirm the hats are made to the final revision.

Of course it is possible. Since it is a 2-pc you can put whatever you like as a ring. That said, if you are truly interested in ceramics, I have an account with a company that provides ceramic rotors to a Formula 1 team and I can ask for a quote but it is not for the faint heart. That said, yes...

Well, when I put my deposit on my Model S a few years back, I recall reading that the Model S would come with Brembo's 6 piston front / 4 piston rear, with 2-pc rotors on all four corners. Obviously that was not the case in the production model and Mr. Musk would know the details why not. Do I...

I'm not sure if their is a difference between the 85 & 65 . My car is a P85 package Signature series. 355 fronts 365 rears if i recall correctly, and yes that is the net savings over the p85 package rotors on my car. The hats are massive in terms offset for the fronts.

The weight savings are 10lbs. per corner. For the fronts. I'll check on the rears and report back.

Well for the prototype i went ahead and did this for testing. I wanted a dark color hat ( hard anodize) to match my P85 wheels / carbon fiber look.

NRCooled, I will let you know ... but im going to venture its going to be about 1k per axle w replacements per axle at about 450. That said, the fronts weight in at about 28lbs ! yikes. The rears weight a tad more. I believe i can shed 10lbs off per rotor. Also, the rotors are not directional...

Working on it as we speak. I should have a cad model done by Sunday, send out make a prototype, then test fit. Then maybe in 2-3 weeks i'll have a full set to test and weight the difference. I will report back !

7racer, I'm going to take measurements this weekend, make the CAD drawing and send them out to make them. I just did these for my Porsche, I reduced 10.5lbs per front rotor. 21 lbs in the front alone. The Tesla's look much heavier, hopefully I can really shed some weight, and improve the range...

Today, I dropped of my model S at the Fremont facility to get my 3rd row seats installed (Which I'm really excited! It has been over 7 months since I picked up my car, with my 3rd row seats not installed). While I was at the service center, I noticed another model s outside with the front wheels...

You are correct Reservation #429, Vin 430. Sorry. Close enough. :cool:

Thanks for the clarification. Yes I was reservation holder 430 and my vin matches as well. I will take pictures this weekend.

Signature; # 430 are the last digits.

Received #430. Oct 26th 2012. I had the option of picking it up earlier in the week but the weather was not ideal to pickup the car. All I can say, what a machine. Rear facing seats, mats and a high power charging will be delivered later next month or December from what I was told.
