jumping on the caliper cover bandwagon like tesla :ROFLMAO: In order to cut farther cost (they're built very cheap quality i had a 2012 model s), and without telling customers, they recently changed the rear calipers on Performance model Y to be single piston (used to be brembos) and attached plastic cover over it hoping owners that paid money for the extra option doesn't notice.

I love how people think it's luxury then you take a look at one up close and it falls apart. I saw one in the showroom that looked like it had painted masking tape or some defect above the taillight. Also, panel gaps.

I love how it's only been in the last few months that it's become socially acceptable to criticize Tesla and point out how they're a lot of lipstick on an ugly pig.

I agree. My wife and I test drove a Model S. Other than the insane 0-60 acceleration and instant torque, it didn't fit my definition of a luxury car. My IS F Sport's interior is way nicer!

If it were not for Rob I would have forgotten what this thread was originally about. I wish there was a place that had simple stock brake calipers for $25 each 😂. LOL, I’d stock up and change my calipers every time I needed new brake pads.

I guess the Tesla’s still have hydraulic brakes for emergencies. Funny how most technology brings you back to the basics.
