brakes

Need new pads and rotors in San Diego. Anyone have any recommendations for a good shop in San Diego? $973 seems steep from Tesla Service...am I wrong?

Hi all, Quick question: will 18" Volks CE28 wheels by Rays Engineering clear the calipers on a Model 3 Performance? I have a set of these wheels from my last car (Subaru STi), and I'll be getting a M3P in January! I would REALLY love to use these wheels (as winters) since they are super light...

Hi All, Life changes have dictated that I hit pause on my track endeavors for the time being. As a result, I will be returning my car to stock and selling the following parts (parts have less than 250 miles on them and are essentially brand new): Motion Control Suspension (MCS) Motorsport...

Has anyone in the So Cal area found a shop to do the brakes on a MS? I'm getting the little squeal from the front brakes, so I'm assuming its hitting the indicator clip. I have a 2013 P85 non red calipers, does anyone have part numbers for pads and/or rotors? I currently do not have the tools...

I still have to pen the associated article, but I have put the video online at YouTube. Enjoy!

I have a LR RWD Model 3 that came with the 18" Aero wheels. For the past year of owning it, I've been wanting sport wheels. Finally, in April, I bit the bullet and bought the Tesla 20" sport wheels from another Tesla owner. They were brand new and only had about 500 miles on them. Once I put...

We The North – Here’s 10% Off, No Hard Feelings As most of you know, we’re located in Toronto, Canada. Well, last night our Toronto Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors in the NBA finals to take home their first ever championship! Now we’re not huge basketball fans, but we don’t want...

Thought this was interesting. There's A Serious Problem With The Jaguar I-Pace Car's been out in the market for a bit now. Husband had someone park next to him in one. Seem to recall Consumer Reports splashing braking issues about the Model 3 when it first came out all over the news and...

Stock brakes on the M3 standard RWD feel horrendous. Non-linear feel, inspires trepidation rather than confidence. They feel like really cold racing brakes. Even my wife commented on this. Hasn't gotten any better in 1mo of ownership. I saw other threads on this but no solutions. Is this...

https://electrek.co/2019/04/09/tesla-model-3-performance-nurburgring-race-track/ A nice first look, something many recovering petrol heads have been waiting for. NOT driven in Track Mode here. The updated P brakes do overheat within minute, driver decides to take it easier. So we don't know...

Great news for Model 3 Owners looking for more braking performance! We’ve been working closely with Brembo for many years and they recently visited us to give a presentation of the Brembo Model 3 big brake kit. As many of you know, Brembo makes the brakes on the Model 3 Performance and this is...

Question to the group - I purchased a new MX P100D in September. I have had a MS and an M3 in the past. The brakes in the P100D seem like they are no better (actually worse IMO) than both the MS and M3. Are they actually supposed to be higher quality brakes on the Performance models or is the...

I had a Ranger come out last week. Fantastic service... I learned a few new things I thought I’d pass on, most importantly how to silence squeaky brakes. In addition to pairing the 2 new key fobs with the new improved 80 bit encryption that I had ordered, he was swapping my wheels out for the...

Looking for an experienced Tesla mod shop (not body or paint) in San Diego. Likely going to upgrade the brake pads, rotors and a couple hoses with the Mountain Pass upgrades. I could probably do the rotors and pads but would prefer not to mess with the brake fluid. I didn’t expect my new...

Does anyone know what the brake line layout is of the Model S that has an iBooster? I know the master cylinder has two outputs and each caliper has two bleed screws. But how is the routing in between? Hope someone has this info and perhaps even a diagram. Thanks in advance.

Who do you recommend for brake caliper painting in NE OHIO? Thank you.

Help identifying constant creaking croaking sound when brakes are applied. Audio included It's been 30 days since we took delivery of the 75 model. Everything else is great, but within 3 weeks I started hearing a rubbery creaking/croaking sound every time I... 1) Turn the wheel depressing the...

I am looking for OEM Red Calipers.

Tesla Model 3 Falls Short of a CR Recommendation

So I just had my first service done (20.000 km) and everything was great, except for one thing. Apparently I should use my brakes more. According to the service center, using the brakes very little (what can I say, I love one pedal driving) could cause them to be worn in an unbalanced way...

I plan on attempting a break job this weekend .I also am thinking about painting the brake calipers. I have yet to find any instructions or videos on how to do this if anyone knows of any please send me a link. If I do not find any I may make a video of me doing this thanks for any help.

The other week I came out on Monday morning and sat in the car to go to work. When I pressed the brake pedal went straight down to the floor. No resistance whatsoever. No fading or the like, the car stood still. No braking effect at all. After a few pumping the pedal pressure came back and the...

Very excited to finally get my model S, however I found 3 problems in the last 2 days that I owned it. Just wanted to see what you guys think and if you have any feedback. Trunk body panel gaps are visibly different on the right and left side.( see picture ) Sign in - Google Accounts Tires...

Hi All, Anyone have access to this info? I have heard that the Camaro SS from 2010 on have the same size brakes as a Tesla Model S. I am having trouble finding out the size of the wheel hub and hat height to see if they would in fact fit. I had to brake hard the other day to avoid a...

New Model S and X are now being delivered with a different rear brake setup for non performance cars. (60/75/90kW cars) Performance trim cars retain the previous design. Highlights Single Piston rear brake caliper now replacing 4 piston rear caliper for non performance models Integrated...

I want peoples opinions and thoughts on an ongoing issue I've had with my 2016 X with just 1K miles. Is your Model X completely quiet when coming to a stop?? When coming to a complete stop, as soon as the car stops it makes a weird creak noise. Think of a 18 wheeler coming to a dead stop and...

Is anyone else having/had this problem. I've had my X since the end of April. There are just over 4,000 miles on the car. Over the past few weeks whenever you drive the car slowly such as backing out of the garage or parking spot and turn the wheel hard to the car makes loud...

Are there any options to get colored brakes? Just ordered a S 75 in blue. I think yellow or fluorescent green brakes would look great with the blue. Or is this after market brakes or after market painting the brakes?

Was just looking at the Tesla Shop and apparently in addition to the spoiler now available, they have added the red calipers: Tesla — Model S Red Brake Calipers Set That was the one item I really wanted that I could not get when I went with the 90D. Although I will probably wait till my...

2014 Tesla Model S, 15,000 miles, tech package (lift gate), tan leather, eco-hitch with light plug, brand new tires, black power coated wheels. This is a rebuilt title so the price is lower than normal yet there is no differnce than a non-rebuilt. No airbag deployment, with Car Fax to prove it...

Was browsing one of many blogs on Model S and Tesla that I follow, this chap from Norway has been upgraded to a special Nordic Brakes System free of charge... "Tesla Motors had developed a special cold climate braking system (also called Nordic brakes system), which is needed in Norway of...

Because of regenerative braking, the brake pads get little wear. I was wondering if anybody has worn out their brake pads? (I'm not talking about compulsive people who have replaced them "just in case" or replaced the pads because they didn't like the OEM pads, etc.) Has anyone actually worn out...

When watching the Saleen Automotive Tesla’s Model S EV based FourSixteen video they made a big deal of removing 18lbs per corner by replacing the rotors with carbon fiber rotors. They also state that since this is "rotational" weight it is even more effective just saving 70lbs elsewhere...
