Tesla Model S Plaid / Model S Carbon Ceramic Brakes Kit
Official Warranty: 1‑year free replacement for quality defects or coating issues under normal (non-track) use.
2012-2026 Tesla Model S Plaid / Model S Carbon Ceramic Brake Kits
The Model S range spans early standard-brake cars through Plaid sedans that owners often push far beyond normal street speeds. Plaid buyers in particular tend to care about repeated high-speed stops, wheel clearance, and whether the upgrade keeps daily drivability intact.
- Body style: Sedan
- Front rotor reference: Plaid: 380mm, 410mm(CCB); Std: 355mm
- Rear rotor reference: Plaid: 365mm, 410mm(CCB); Std: 365mm
This is an OEM-size replacement kit. The rotors are built to the factory rotor spec and install with the factory caliper when the front caliper is a fixed design and the rotor spec matches. The included pad shape matches the OEM pad shape. If the car uses aftermarket calipers such as Brembo, AP Racing, Alcon, or Wilwood, provide the exact caliper model and StopFlex can supply the matching pad shape. Direct replacement is not confirmed if the front caliper is floating, or if the car already runs a non-OEM-offset rotor and the actual rotor dimensions cannot be supplied.
Why StopFlex CCB
Lightweight
Half the Weight, Sharper Handling. StopFlex carbon-ceramic rotors shed roughly half the mass of equivalent iron discs. This massive drop in unsprung weight instantly transforms your chassis, delivering sharper turn-in response and a significantly more refined road feel.
High-Temp Resistance
Minimal Brake Fade at 900°C (1652°F). While traditional iron rotors severely fade under heavy track loads, our CCB matrix holds a stable 0.30μ friction coefficient even at 900°C (1652°F). You get consistent, predictable stopping power when things get dangerously hot.
Corrosion Resistance
100% Rust-Free Durability. Say goodbye to flash rust after a car wash or heavy rain. The carbon-silicon carbide material is naturally impervious to corrosion, ensuring your brake rotors look completely clean and pristine no matter the weather conditions.
Long Lifespan
250,000+ km (155,000+ mi) Lifespan. Iron rotors typically require replacement around 100,000 km (62,000 mi). In normal street driving conditions, a StopFlex CCB rotor can easily last 250,000 to 300,000 km (155,000 to 186,000 mi), effectively outlasting the vehicle itself.
Ultra-Low Dust
Ultra-Low Visible Brake Dust. Heavy black dust destroying your wheel finish is a thing of the past. When paired with our matched StopFlex pads, these rotors generate virtually zero visible brake dust, keeping your premium wheels spotless for much longer.
Premium Visual Finish
Premium Mirror-Like Finish. StopFlex utilizes a patented ceramic formula that cures with a distinct crackle pattern. The surface is machined dead-smooth for high reflectivity, providing a premium aesthetic behind open wheels under the right lighting.
High Normal-Temp Friction
Strong Initial Bite (0.40μ+). With matched StopFlex pads, normal-temperature friction can exceed 0.40μ for a firmer pedal feel and strong initial bite.
Long-Fiber Construction
Continuous Long-Fiber Strength. StopFlex utilizes a continuous long-fiber 3D matrix. This structure is significantly stronger and offers higher thermal conductivity than standard chopped-fiber OEM CCM discs.
Cold First-Stop Confidence
Reliable Cold-Bite at -20°C (-4°F). Coated street rotors still deliver normal first-stop braking at -20°C (-4°F). Uncoated motorsport rotors are the exception.
Important heat note
Carbon ceramic does not shed heat as fast as steel. Long hard driving can heat-soak the rest of the brake system, including fluid, seals, and nearby parts. Unless the car already has strong brake cooling, or you plan to upgrade brake cooling, prolonged aggressive driving is not recommended.
Rotor options
Street Spec
Ceramic coating + cross-drilled face + large cooling channels.
355/365mm suits regular Model S street use where clean daily manners matter more than maximum thermal reserve.
Track-Day Spec
Ceramic coating + blank face + honeycomb cooling channels.
380/365mm is the balanced Plaid choice for fast road driving and occasional hard lapping without jumping straight to the largest package.
Motorsport Spec
No coating + blank face + honeycomb cooling channels. Not for normal street use.
410/410mm is the right call for Plaid owners chasing the most repeatable high-speed braking and sustained heat control.

FAQ
Can I upgrade this Tesla Model S or Model S Plaid to a StopFlex carbon ceramic brake kit while keeping the factory calipers?
On standard Model S cars, fitment depends on the exact hub, rotor hat, and parking-brake layout, so caliper-retention should be confirmed by generation. On Plaid, buyers often choose either a stock-caliper-compatible rotor path or a full caliper conversion, so order only after matching your year, wheels, and intended brake package.
Which StopFlex carbon ceramic size is the correct choice for my Tesla Model S or Model S Plaid?
For standard Model S, the smaller street-oriented sizes make the most sense unless the car sees repeated hard downhill or high-speed use. For Plaid, 380/365mm is the safer all-around pick, while 410/410mm is better for owners specifically trying to solve repeated heavy-stop heat load like the factory Plaid carbon-ceramic package.
Is a StopFlex carbon ceramic brake kit a good daily-driver upgrade for this Tesla Model S, including cold first-stop use?
Yes for most street-driven cars, provided you want lower dust and are not expecting the brakes to feel identical to a warm iron setup on the first hard stop. Tesla notes cold-weather braking alerts for Plaid cars equipped with its carbon-ceramic kit below 14°F (-10°C), so cold-climate buyers should prioritize a street-friendly setup and realistic expectations.

Will a StopFlex carbon ceramic brake kit on this Tesla Model S or Plaid fix heat issues during prolonged hard driving, or do I still need cooling support?
It will raise heat capacity and consistency, especially on Plaid, but it is not a substitute for proper fluid, pad choice, and airflow management. If you do repeated high-speed laps or long mountain descents, treat cooling and wheel ventilation as part of the package rather than assuming rotor material alone solves fade.
