Re: New Brake Retrofit

[cali_doc]

Sooo we know that the rear screen will soon apparently have a $600 retrofit and there is a $700 steering wheel option, but what about the brakes? I would love to have the red calipers but more importantly the higher thermal and better braking system for a car that I bought 2 months ago for $173,000

Anyone heard or spoke to anyone?

Where did you find out about the $600 rear screen retrofit? If true I’ll be ordering as well

Why would the rear screen require a retrofit on a brand new vehicle?

The latest x comes with a bigger rear screen

I mean, I am all for red calipers, but I think it's still a rumor that it has "higher thermal capacity" and why are all you guys using your friction brakes? I rarely use mine in the Model X. All cars get upgrades... it just is. Happens with every car, really a $30k civic gets upgrades almost every year too.

Lol I complained to a SA through txt as to why my rotors were rusty. Good thing it was through txt

I don’t think there is anything special about red calipers being any different. Check around with various wrap shops in your area. Many of them offer caliper painting including new decals. I was thinking about getting mine painted yellow, which is possible, but self reminded me about how much I already spent on this buggy. I stuck with just getting my emblems painted.

Is there any reason to buy the Tesla steering wheel vs other brands? There are some very nice looking CFiber ones available that I like much more but have not pulled the trigger.

Note: I remember when brand new Civics could be bought for $8999

Tesla's EPC has no new rotor, caliper, or pad in it yet. But I'd be surprised if this was anything but a caliper color and pad change.

My first guess would be correct integration with all the electronics.

I mean…did it go from 6” to 7” or 6” to 24”?

Not sure why anyone would want a retrofit for a small change.

Now a price drop!!!! New rear screen, red calipers, better supposed brakes….I give up lol

All jokes aside and I know Tesla constantly updates their cars….this is not my first Tesla….it would just be nice if the little upgrades can be an option for those of us that find value in them….

Apparently, no upgrade or option for gaming on the rear screen, regardless of size:
