DBA 42768S 4000 Series T3 Front Slotted Brake Rotor for 2012-2016 Tesla Model S and 2016 Tesla Model X

Cast from XG-150 high carbon alloyed iron and undergoing Thermal Stability Profiling. DBA's metallurgy is able to handle the increased stress and heat generated under intense braking application time and time again. Featuring DBA;s patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation that implements a series of 144 diamond and teardrop patterned pillars. DBA achieves up to a 30% increase in surface are and 20% improvement in cooling efficiency compared to traditional straight vane design. 4000 SERIES T3 is the ultimate in direct replacement single piece performance brake rotors Featuring all the benefits of the 4000 Series plus DBA?s patented world renowned T3 bi directional slot design. Built on the foundations of DBA's T2 slot, the T3 slot design features additional, precise, CNC machined tri-symmetrical slots, resulting in an even quieter, more responsive and smoother brake pedal feel The T3 slot increases the number of exit points for brake pad friction dust and gases to escape through, further increasing the consistency and effectiveness of every brake stop, DBA's revolutionary universal slot design eliminates the need for separate left and right slot designs seen in traditional rotor designs, DBA's 4000 Series T3 rotors are recommended for all performance applications from street driving, 4?4 and SUV, light utility vehicles, track days, rally cars and armored vehicles, DBA's 4000 Series rotors feature: XG-150 High Carbon Alloyed Iron, TSP (Thermal Stability Profiling), Thermo-graphic paint markings (THGP), Direct replacement suitability, Moisture proof corrosion protection packaging

The DBA 42768S 4000 Series T3 front slotted brake rotor is a direct-replacement performance upgrade designed for select Tesla Model S and Model X applications. Cast from XG-150 high-carbon alloyed iron, this single-piece rotor is engineered to manage the heat and stress generated during demanding braking, making it suitable for daily driving, spirited street use, utility vehicles, and performance applications.

DBA's Thermal Stability Profiling helps promote consistent performance through repeated heat cycles, while thermographic paint markings provide a visual reference for thermal conditions. The patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation system uses 144 diamond- and teardrop-patterned pillars to improve airflow through the rotor. Compared with traditional straight-vane designs, this configuration can increase surface area by up to 30% and improve cooling efficiency by up to 20%.

The 4000 Series T3 rotor also features DBA's patented bi-directional tri-symmetrical slot design. CNC-machined slots provide additional exit points for brake pad friction dust and gases, supporting consistent pad contact, pedal response, and braking performance. The universal slot design eliminates the need for separate left- and right-hand rotor versions, simplifying installation while maintaining a smooth and quiet braking feel. Moisture-resistant corrosion-protection packaging helps preserve the rotor during storage and shipping.

Fitment: Designed for select 2012-2015 Tesla Model S applications and 2016 Tesla Model S and Model X applications. Confirm vehicle year, model, axle position, and brake configuration before ordering.
