Performance Caliper Covers for Tesla Model S and X: Fit FAQ

Performance Caliper Covers for Tesla Model S and X: Fit FAQ

Get answers to common questions about fitting Performance Caliper Covers on Tesla Model S and X, including compatibility, installation, and maintenance.

Fitment and Compatibility Questions

Which Tesla models do the Performance Caliper Covers fit?
These covers are designed and tested to fit over stock factory brake calipers on Tesla Model S and Model X vehicles. However, they will not fit 2021 to 2026 Model S or 2022 to 2026 Model X, and they do not fit Plaid models.
Do the covers fit all Model S and X years?
No. The covers fit earlier Model S and X models but are explicitly incompatible with 2021–2026 Model S and 2022–2026 Model X. Always confirm your vehicle's year before ordering.
Will these covers work with aftermarket brake calipers?
The covers are engineered for stock factory calipers only. If you have aftermarket calipers, fitment is not guaranteed. Aftermarket calipers are a different product category focused on brake function rather than appearance.

Installation and Maintenance

Can I install the caliper covers myself?
Yes, you can install them yourself. The process requires no adhesive, tape, or caliper modifications. Tools needed are safety glasses, a floor jack, and the included wrench. Average installation time is about one hour. However, professional installation is highly recommended and typically takes 45 minutes to 2 hours.
How do I remove the covers for brake service?
Reverse the installation steps to remove the covers, then reinstall them after service. The covers are designed to be reusable.
Do the covers affect brake heat dissipation?
They help. The aluminum covers act as a heat sink, and field testing showed a 20–50°F reduction in brake temperatures. The covers only cover the front of the caliper, allowing heat to escape from the top.
Will the covers reduce brake dust on my wheels?
Yes. The covers act as a protective shield, directing brake dust toward the back of the wheel. Customers report a significant decrease in visible brake dust after installation.
