Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

[brooklyn]

Has anyone confirmed yet whether getting the brakes alone will enable the 200mph unlock? Still having a hard time justifying it either way, but I already have 20" forged wheels...

 

[ftwret]

I think so. however the real question is if they'll install the brakes on anything without the 21" arachnids, as that was their initial stipulation.

I think it has to be the track package 20s or arachnids. Not the 19s

Well that is for sure, as the CCBs don't fit under the 19" wheels.

• Carbon Ceramic Brake Kits are not compatible with 19” Tempest wheels but are compatible with 20” Zero-G and 21” Arachnid wheels (sold separately).

 

[ftwret]

I'd be surprised if the sc would be willing to try and fit them under a non-tesla wheel. hopefully, but idk

 

[brooklyn]

I kept the Arachnids, so worse case scenario I put them on if I ever go down this road.

Wonder what the weight is on those forged 20"? I just put on 20x10 and 20x11.5 yesterday but with 255 and 295 widths to reduce drag and weight to be equal to the 19" oe...

 

[brooklyn]

Meant to weigh them and completely forgot. Will do that when I rotate them in a few thousand miles. I'm running 285/35/20 all around. Significantly lighter than the factory wheels, which are the heaviest wheel/tire combo I think I've ever picked up.

Spoke with a Tesla Plaid owner that received an early install of the Carbon Ceramic Brakes in Feb/March of this year. He did say that without heat built up in the pads/rotors that when street driving I should be aware they don’t grab as good as stock when cool.

Anyone have CCB on other brands before that would care to comment with their experiences.

I have had CCBs on 2 Porsches and they Grab so hard you have to relearn braking feel. They stop so much better.

How long will it take to sell out...

I’ll be ordering at 11am. Let’s see !

 

[DayTrippin]

Yep, me too. Set my alarm on my phone. I don't think we'll see as many people buying them like when they offered the steering wheel to replace the yoke but this is really the last thing to pretty much complete my S.

I am just going with the brakes and not the wheel/tire combo.

 

[oktane]

But poor road brake feel makes me not want to bite.

 

[DayTrippin]

I have thought about that as well, but more concerned about the comments I've read about cold braking performance. Which could be more of an issue since most of the time I am one pedal driving. TBH - I am not that concerned about range on the S anyway as I am not going to take many road trips in it anyway.

So I'll probably just use my S3XY buttons to dial down the regen to nothing or almost nothing, and less likely to have totally "cold" brakes. Also might be a chance to find different pads that work to bias it more toward individual usage patterns.

 

[Awiner]

Purchased and service scheduled for 5/10. My guess is the appointment will be kicked into the future for part’s availability.

 

[DayTrippin]

I went to buy the CCB kit and it isn't in stock, only the entire track pack is an option. I don't want the wheels and tires.

Anyone else have this issue?

Wow. Did they sell out already?

 

[scalene]

I was able to order just the CCB’s at 2:09pm EST.
