Has anyone found any carbon ceramic brake rotor upgrades without having to upgrade to the big brake it? I have a 2012-2020 generation Model S and am thinking about getting lighter rotors for better range and performance.

Update the Interior Headliner and Pillars to Black Fabric so that it matches and blends better with the colors on the door, dash, steering wheel, center console, floor, and the rest of the interior. The current Grey color doesn't match well and becomes dirty very easily. The grey interior is...

Can anyone please confirm (or deny) whether a bang-like noise from the brakes would be heard when the Automatic Emergency Braking system engages at very low speeds (Model 3)? For example, when the car rolls slightly at traffic lights and a pedestrian rushes towards it, or when it is reversing...

Hello All, I have a 2020 Model Y that I drive up in fairly rural New Hampshire - part of my road is dirt, and I drive regularly on roads that are treated with brine including I-89. When I went to get my car inspected, the mechanic pointed out my rusted (to the point of near failure) rear brake...

When in Car Wash Mode, we should be able to put the car back into drive from neutral/free roll without applying the brakes first at the end. For automatic car washes where you're on a conveyor belt with a car staged directly behind you, the last thing you want to do is engage the brakes at any...

‘17 MS 100D with front brake shuddering. The front pads were replaced last year before I bought it. I have put about 10k miles on it and they are shuddering again. I would think if the rotors were warped the charging of the pads would not have solved the initial issue. Anyone else have the same...

So....has anyone other than a professional driver with a significant YouTube following received the privelage to have these brakes installed? It's been a few weeks since the video went up, and I'm beginning to wonder how many Plaids will get the top speed unlock, or will it only ever be a select...

Used for 1 track day at VIR and about 2,000 miles on street. Proper brake in performed and these were great for the track day and zero noise on the street. I sold my M3P and now have available for sale. I used Castrol SRF Racing brake fluid and will include 1 full unopened bottle 1L. Stock...

Looking to purchase an ibooster (part 1037123-00-B) for the model s asap. Shipping to Canada

It takes a village to raise a kit. This one is TMC's very own. @Lukez pioneered the 6-piston CTS-V DIY for the Model S. Then @jesse_le prototyped a rotor with GiroDisc for the Model 3 and Y. These full-floating slotted GiroDisc rotors for the Model 3 and Y come in at 370mm x 34mm. This mirrors...

Hey TMC Family! We wanted to make a single thread to display the products we have developed for the Model S over the last year or so, and share any updates on where we are headed next. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here as well. We will update this as we add products to the...

G-LOC Brakes was founded by racers for racers. When legendary driver Randy Pobst (of UPP Dark Helmet fame) ran this year's One Lap of America in a BMW X3 M Competition, he found himself with an emergency need for brake pads. While not exactly your typical performance car, G-LOC built and shipped...

Hi y'all. Long time lurker here, and now glad to finally be a part of this community. I consider myself a lucky one out of the bunch, given that my Plaid (Oct 21 delivery) hasn't given me any major issues... until now, seemingly. This post will be detailed, and I hope it will either a)...

Hi Tesla Motors Club, Ordered MYP and am looking at 19" wheels that clear the bigger brakes. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/swap-model-y-performance-21-wheels-with-long-range-20-wheels.252455/#post-6275193 PacificPower mentioned T Sportline ones do. 19" Gemini's on a MYP mentions...

Yeah, it's bad. I'll be cruising along at 70 mph and my Model Y sees a yellow caution sign with flashing lights and hits the brakes. I push the camera icon to report each incident. Not sure how much that helps, if at all.

I took delivery of my Model Y in December. Overwhelmingly, I have been using regen for one-pedal driving so naturally, the brakes haven’t seen much use. So, imagine my surprise when I, using some of the Model Y’s many horsepowers, needed to use some brakes and she did NOT want to stop...

Pulled from my 2016 Model X at 30,000 miles when purchased CPO to swap to drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic Brembo pads. Original factory rotors and pads for all 4 corners (no parking brake pad), prefer pick up in the Los Angeles/ Orange County area. Will only fit models with separate caliper...

Wondering if anyone happened to already take the dimensions of or perhaps has the OE calipers off the car handy to grab the OD and ID as well as piston hole count off the non-P front and rear calipers? Looking for inner and outer dimensions of the pistons and the number of piston holes. This...

I'm asking here instead of directly to Tesla because their only Contact Us options were for solar roofs or calling a store and neither of them knows.... While test driving the Model Y I noticed the regenerative braking was pretty aggressive. I called the sales person from the car to ask if I...

Hey folks, I'm experiencing some odd behavior with my Model 3 Performance's brakes. Yesterday while exiting the highway on a clover-leaf offramp, I lightly hit the brakes and the ABS intervened to the extent that the brakes barely engaged. I came in pretty hot, but nothing out of the ordinary...

Just wondering if anyone has done the winter brake maintenance on their model Y themselves yet? I figured the fronts would be the same as the X I have, where you knock out the pins with a punch but they're not it looks like the pads are held in by individual pins and the caliper bracket itself...

Hi everyone, I'm currently considering the M3 LR since I'd definitely get wheel/tire damage with the 20" wheels where I live (Boston). I'm thinking of the 18" aero wheels, and perhaps switching the wheel covers for the orbital covers! There's also a $2,500 rebate for EVs under 50k in...

I have a set of Brembo front brake calipers for a Tesla Model 3. Comes loaded with pads, no brake lines. For some reason the previous owner decided to paint them lime green. They came off my friends car. He got red calipers instead of repainting these. They are in perfect working order. Asking...

Hi I had a great opportunity to buy a brand-new model 3 performance from someone else. Apparently, he needs that money for his business. The car is arriving mid-late next month. Despite ordering the Performance model, I’ve never driven it. I’ve ridden in it. It was amazingly quick as my head...

These are the racing red Safe Jacks brand, customized to work with Tesla Model S, 3, X, Y. You don't need the Tesla style jack pad; it comes with them! Purchased from Teslarati, normally they go for $545 shipped from Teslarati, yours for $500. Local pickup only (Bay Area, California) All 4 are...

Model Y Performance. Mileage: 2800 Items for sale: Front & Rear Calipers Front & Rear Rotors Front & Rear Brake lines & pads Front & Rear Shields Price: $3,500 + shipping.

Can someone confirm that the brake rotors are different on 2012-2016 vs 2017-present? Thanks

Just visited service centre after noise coming from brakes. Model 3 performance 1 year old 13000 miles with full regen brake setting on. Needs new pads and discs at £800+ This is my 4th EV and first brake replacement so a bit shocked. Just a warning to others to switch full regen off from...

Morning all. Picked up my TM3 LR AWD on Sunday and love it! Already paint corrected and applied ceramic coating. I have a question about the brakes. I was thinking last night about brake longevity with the regenerative braking (which is amazing by the way). Obviously, the brakes are going...

Hi all - need your help on recommendations for ideal brake pads and rotors since the ones quoted from Tesla Service were way too expensive. This is what they are charging for my 2013 Model S P85+. TESLA SERVICE ESTIMATE Front Rotors Part #: 6006-420-00-A $240.00 each Rear Rotors Part #...

Searched forums and didn't find any recommendations for new rotors and brake pads. I've got a 2013 Model S (staggered 21" wheels) with 120k miles and need to replace all four rotors and pads. I just received an estimate from the SC and the total is $1,718.00 ($1290.00 for parts and $321 for...

My X90d is looking like it needs front brakes. I'm going to change the pads and rotors and bleed the system with the power bleeder. I'm looking for suggestions for rotors and pads since they sit in the car and have light use. Also does anyone know what the torque specs are for the caliper...

Hey guys. Yesterday I noticed an awful high pitch scraping noise coming from the right tire/brake in the back. Especially distinct when backing up and at low speeds. I couldn't find any stones or similar trapped by the brake disk. Tried driving around for a little bit to loosen possible stones...

No, it's not a pebble ;) M3 performance with 10k miles. Any time the car is moving, I can hear a grinding, or rubbing noise from my front driver's side. I can hear it from inside the car while driving if it's quiet, but it's of course much more noticeable with the windows down, driving near...

SpaceX Launched Humans, So Let’s Have A Sale! I can’t tell you how impressed and amazed we are here at the accomplishments SpaceX continues to pump out – one after another. It is the ultimate motivation for us to look at ourselves in the mirror and say we aren’t doing enough – and it...

Pulled a very, very clean set of the red calipers off a 2015 P85+ I recently bought for parts. Selling the set for $900 complete and ready to rock. Remember, this is a $2700 upgrade from Tesla so now is the chance to snag them at a fraction of the cost! I will link my eBay listing for you...

Looking to buy the entire brake setup for a Model 3 Performance, not too worried about the condition of the pads, I'll probably replace them, but rotors need to be in decent shape without any obvious scoring or warping. I'll also consider buying only one axle if that's all you have. I need at...

In the past few days, my 2015 Model S has displayed two messages I had never seen before. The first time, it said the parking brake did not engage when I parked it, and warned that the car might roll away. This struck me as curious because I would think that the PARK feature would hold it in...

Location:San Jose (local pickup only) Price:$1500 I'm selling my AWD Mountain Pass Performance BBK Rotors 365mm front rotors and MPP track pads. They were mounted on my P3D- (stealth) and will also fit regular AWD models. Literally new... no track/mountain runs or anything. I've decided to go a...

I have the curse of being an enthusiast that can't just leave things alone. Perhaps a few of you out there can relate to this. :) After starting several threads on installations and track performance related FYI, I find myself going back to those threads time and time again when I'm working...

Just home from a 6 week absence. Stored my M3 SR+ as advised by many (plugged in; charge set at 50%; wheels over inflated; and carpet under wheels). Now that I am home (and not really surprised) I am noticing some 'stickiness/tightness' on my first (short and slow) drive - wheels and breaking...

I got my Model 3 LR AWD at the end of December. Since picking up the car, I've noticed that the brakes are noisy, emitting a scraping sound. Its mostly noticeable when going slower, like in stop and go traffic. When I brought it up with my Service Advisor, he said its completely normal and all...

I've searched and cannot find an answer to this specific question. When Hold is engaged, will it stop the car from moving forward if hit from behind? In the old days of drivers' ed. classes, we were always taught to keep our foot on the brake pedal when stopped in traffic, just in case some...
