Any idea what I might be doing wrong in measuring or what could be different about my car? I've measured it more than once and always find inward movement. As you can see from the video I also see the upward movement you mention, but it's pretty logical that if it's on an arc and the pivot point is below the MC, it's going to move towards the rear of the car as it moves upwards.

The Model X could certainly use improved braking too. @MountainPass, are you planning on releasing a master cylinder brace for the Model X?
They've already shipped, please let us know how you like them!!
Thank you for your feedback
I hope you enjoy it for years to come!

Finally got mine in… for anyone struggling with getting to the adjuster and jam nut (I tried with a stubby 13 for a while) a 13mm (or 1/2” in my case) crows foot on an extension made quick work of both.
No, no issues with mine. One of the best mods for the Model 3.

I notice the last (2) images your adjuster foot isn't center to the master cylinder face.
It's a Tesla. Part of the standard features.

Installed the stealth black (optional MPP finish) part and very happy the results. Echoing what above posters have said, this is a must-have for all Model 3s.
Any hard braking events are far more predictable. An added benefit I noticed – with regen on a higher setting and/or braking set to Hold, the blend of the brakes at the end is crisper and cleaner, happens faster.

I installed mine a few weeks ago and honestly didn't notice any immediate difference during regular driving. During hard braking I think there was a bit more bite but might be placebo. How tight is the swivel piece supposed to be up against the master brake?
This makes no sense at all for the way the eBooster works. The booster would work even if it was mounted on wet cardboard as all the forces stay inside the unit.

I tightened it until there was an obvious reduction in movement behind the swivel. Here’s a before with it just making contact and an after. There was an immediate difference.
I'm very glad that lots of people are finding the brace to be great, and MPP makes great products of which I have multiple on my car. However, I'll offer a differing opinion on the master cyl brace. I couldn't notice any difference with it installed. I tried tightening it and messing with it, still no difference. I sold mine a few weeks after I installed it and noticed no difference taking it off either.
It does seem like the brace would resist movement better if the contact point was lower in this video, as someone else pointed out earlier. There's a lot of vertical movement in the cylinder.
