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

davidnunnMember

Doug, the Tesla Model S has two rear calipers; a hydraulic brake caliper and an electric parking brake caliper. They are both made by Brembo. The EPB is simply an electric version of Brembo’s manual parking brake that’s used on many different cars, including the Viper, Lamborghini, Ferrari, etc. The Brembo EPB is also used on different cars but removed from a wrecked Tesla, it is cheap and readily available. Removed from a wrecked Lamborghini Aventador, it still costs a fortune.
BTW, the Tesla version is designed for a 1-1/8” wide rotor.

You can avoid the EPB being applied at speed by not pressing the button! Duh 🙄! It would be easy for Jon to modify his controller to use a VSS input but I can’t imagine there’d be any demand.
