@Daytonaviolet, I will be keeping my original parts in the unlikely event that there is a problem with the new track package components.

That is exactly what I asked myself as I was unloading it from the car when I got home.
Small update, currently on day 12. SC is claiming they still need more fluid and they will “attempt to escalate” my service. I almost feel as if they messed something up and are using the “we’re out of brake fluid” story as a cover. I may drive down to the SC soon. They also refused a refund on the 2 damaged zero g wheels and missing tire.

I went by my SC today to speak to the SC manager. i pointed out that there were two curb rashes which are now on my Signature wheels which were not there before. He told me to get quotes and forward them to his private cell phone and that Tesla would cover my wheel repair.
Also I asked him why it took 8 days (SC is open 7 days a week) to install my CCBK kit. He told me that it was there first CCBK install and they were having problems flashing the ABS module. They had to flash it twice, once before the CCBK install and again 2nd time after flushing from dot3 to dot5.1. They had issues with the flash so they flew in a couple of Tesla Track Pack specialist. They had to wait a few days for them to arrive/train the folks doing the install.
I’d so pay extra to have this dude install my set. He should be a roving track pack specialist.
For SoCal folks, can we pls consider compiling a list of competent TSCs locally? I’m booked with Alhambra in September.

Installed the brake brace today. I’ll report back if it reduces pedal travel on hard activations.

I spent the day on track at the Canaan Motor Club in Canaan, NH. They hosted a third annual EV-only HPDE event on their 1.3 mile road course. I attended the previous two events (the first in my Model X 100D, and last year in my Plaid) and had brake overtemp alerts after two-three hot laps. The other plaid with me with original brakes experienced overheating yesterday too. I pushed the car hard all day long without a single overtemp warning and boy do these brakes work well. The first couple of applications on the outlap build up heat and yield incredible stopping power thereafter. Looking forward to future events.
I've already adapted to the longer brake pedal travel and no longer an issue for me.

I still can’t fathom what is happening. The amount of fluid they receive with every track package is staggering. Like 6+ liters.
Agreed. I’m still almost thinking it’s a cover story for something they damaged during installation and need time to fix. Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt with all this. I asked how much fluid they initially received with the kit and how much they are expecting on the 14th. I have considered reaching out to BBB.

Has anyone that needed the revised knuckles (earlier builds) actually gotten a track package installed? My SC has been telling me for 2+ months (with 5 reschedules) that they "don't have parts". But there's no further explanation or any idea when (if) they will ever get "parts". I have an original 06/21 build so I know it will need the new knuckles. But is that even what the hold up is? Or is my SC just completely incompetent or unwilling to get on the phone and track down my parts?

Yes, a friend of mine had his install and needed the revised knuckles. He experienced a week or two delay until the knuckles arrived.
