Q: Will I be able to unlock the top speed on my Tesla Model S Plaid with an Unplugged Performance carbon ceramic big brake kit?
Installing an Unplugged Performance carbon ceramic big brake kit on your Tesla Model S Plaid will significantly improve your braking performance, offering superior stopping power, reduced fade, and better heat dissipation—especially during high-speed or track driving. However, the brake kit itself does not unlock or increase your vehicle’s top speed, as that is controlled by the car’s software and motor settings. The brake upgrade ensures you can safely and confidently manage high speeds by providing reliable, consistent braking when pushing your Model S Plaid to its limits. If you’re looking to unlock or increase top speed, that requires Tesla-approved software updates not offered directly by Unplugged Performance. Our brake kits are designed to complement those performance upgrades by enhancing safety and control at all speeds.

The "Road Warrior" Curb Guards work as advertised for the most part. I did not find them to be as "protective" as advertised in all the Youtube and promotional videos. Just a day after I installed my Road Warrior wheels, I hit a curb while turning at a slight angle. This damaged the curb guard as...

Had UP install the HD front bumper with the 11" LEDs. Robust steel construction, makes the truck look more aggressive but lines remain clean. This bumper is what Tesla should have equipped the truck with out of the factory! LEDs are super bright as well. Simply the best looking, best designed,...

Tesla Cybertruck Heavy Duty Rear Bumper with Hardcore Trailer Hitch Receiver - UP INVINCIBLE®
RATED 5.0
Had UP install the HD rear bumper with hardcore trailer hitch receiver including flood lights. Utility is awesome, the arms are robustly built and carry my full-size spare, a 20" beadlock wheel with Wildpeak AT4Ws with ease. No rattling whatsoever, the tire is locked in. Swing arms themselves can...

Robust carbon steel construction. Lines look very clean with the HD front and rear bumper installed. Have not seen a cleaner looking aftermarket rock slider for the CT, love mine!

I had another set carbon steel running boards on my Cybertruck for a while and finally got to see the UP Invincible HD Rock Sliders while out at XTakeover this summer. They looked so good and were noticeably more sturdy than what I had on the truck. I replaced mine with a set of these HD Rock...

While the overall weight reduction isn't much in totality, it is noticeably lighter compared to the original lug nuts.

I had an issue of the camber being no longer able to be adjusted to specs. The friends of UP took care of me. Easy to swap as well. Went to a shop yo align it and car is up to specs again and straight as an arrow. Love it! Thank you UP!

Overall, I'm very happy with the UP Forged Road Warrior 19" Wheels that I got for my new Model Y Juniper. They look great and seem very sturdy. The service and communication from Unplugged was great especially with my salesman, Shahar. It took about 3 months for me to get my wheels but it was worth...

Unplugged Performance installed front/rear sway bars on my Model 3 Performance Highland. The change was instant: less body roll, flatter cornering, better grip, and precise control. It sharped handling without hurting ride comfort. This is a great value and would highly recommended.

I received the lower compliance Aft arms today (fri), after ordering on mon. I wasn't sure I'd have time to install, since I already had a lot on my plate, but this afternoon I had a couple spare hours, it ended up only taking about 45 min, including getting the Tesla on jack stands. my...
