I think you’re right that brake upgrades aren’t a big deal in general but Tesla’s aren’t just any car. A race enthusiast shop could do it, but the average Plaid customer may have to think about the way FSD and other systems are calibrated to work with the braking system. Also considering how much of a struggle Tesla has with their ability to service their cars, I would hesitate to modify something as important as brakes with anything that isn’t a Tesla factory option. How many of us would ever take these cars close enough to their limit to make this worth the potential trouble?
Has anyone here ever upgraded their Model S braking system?
I disagree. You probably only need some brake pads and brake ducting to improve braking performance a good amount. Elon even twitted that modifications can be done by a third party. I assume Tesla will offer a track package in the near term. The stock brakes are adequate for DD but not for track days it seems just like most stock cars.
