Tesla Model X modified Brembo carbon ceramic brake

Tesla Model X is a high-performance, safe and intelligent full-size SUV released by Tesla Motors of the United States. Standard all-wheel drive with a maximum range of 565 km (100 kWh battery). The Model X has ample space for driving and storage, enough to accommodate 7 adults and their accompanying equipment. With the Ludicrous Fury Mode turned on, the 100km speedup takes only 3.1 seconds.

      对于这样一辆有着超轻性能的电动车，那么它的制动方面又有怎么样的成绩呢？由于众多SUV的通病那就是车身质量过重，特别是这辆MODEL X，它本身就有超过2300KG的重量，听起来好像对它的的刹车制动测试结果很不利。

However, we can see through the continuous 100-0km/h brake test that the Tesla MODEL X brake brake test results are still excellent. But how can we further shorten the braking distance? We all know that an important factor in shortening the braking distance is to reduce the overall weight of the car. So what's the role of brake quality reduction? According to the current configuration of carbon ceramic brakes for most of the supercars on the market, and the results of practical applications of various types of events, lighter brake discs mean lower suspension weight. This makes the suspension system's response faster, which can improve the overall control of the vehicle. As a result, the Tesla Model X's modified carbon ceramic brake upgrade path began.

      Carbon-ceramic braking system, the core component of which is the brake disc, is not made of cast iron or alloy steel, but is a reinforced composite ceramic made of carbon fiber and silicon carbide at a temperature of 1700 degrees Celsius. Ceramic discs weigh less than half as much as ordinary cast iron discs. For example, the ceramic brake SLR MCLAREN has a front brake disc diameter of 370mm but weighs only 6.4 kg. The CL-CLASS with a normal brake disc has a front plate diameter of 360mm but a weight of up to 15.4 kilograms. Obviously, ceramic discs have reduced the overall weight of the brakes considerably.

So, what's the problem with the reduction of brake quality? Judging from the current deployment of carbon ceramic brakes on most of the supercars on the market, as well as data from practical applications of various types of events, lighter brake discs mean lower suspension weight. This makes the suspension system's response faster, which can improve the overall control of the vehicle.

The Tesla Model X with its modified carbon ceramic brakes has been greatly enhanced both in terms of value and performance. Brembo's first six rear piston calipers and its larger-sized carbon ceramic discs make the wheels look It's more full. In terms of performance, because of the use of carbon ceramic brake discs that are much lighter than the original brake discs, this means a reduction in the weight of the suspension. This makes the suspension system's response faster, which can improve the overall control of the vehicle.
