Reply to "What Are the Parking Brake Options with Aftermarket Brakes"

The motor drive on the Tesla electric caliper fouls the shock spring when you try to mount it in the front position . The mount extension  for the manual Emergency brake cable on the original caliper clears the spring so the whole thing is fully reversible - no caliper trimming required. With the two sets of ears already on the Pantera mounting case it is a very simple change.

The Tesla electric caliper is not modulating - its either full on or off. I know some work is being done to see if it can be operated as a modulating caliper but no word on that as yet. Even if that was possible , the entire brake arrangement for the car would have to be modified, both front and back, to make this work as the primary caliper. I wouldn't do it.

As it is this is, it is  a relatively simple , fully reversible modification that delivers outstanding emergency brake service .  And it gets rid of the inside handbrake lever. 

Hope this helps ?
