febi has announced the release of new brake calipers designed specifically for the Tesla Model S and Model X. These components were developed in response to direct customer feedback. The launch introduces four new part references to the company’s aftermarket catalog.
Highlights
- New calipers engineered for Tesla Model S and X applications.
- High-strength alloy construction features an OE-matched hard anodized coating.
- Advanced spectroscopy verified the aluminum grade and coating thickness.
Engineering and Material Analysis
The new calipers are manufactured using a high-strength alloy to ensure durability. Each unit features a hard anodized coating that matches the color of the original equipment. This design choice prioritizes both visual consistency and surface protection.
The development process involved rigorous material validation. The engineering team utilized metallography and chemical analysis to replicate the required specifications.
Optical emission spectroscopy was employed to identify the specific aluminum grade for the caliper housing. Additionally, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy determined the exact type and micron thickness of the surface coating.
Availability and Portfolio Expansion
The new components are available for order through the bilstein group partsfinder. The specific part numbers released are:
- febi 194914
- febi 194915
- febi 194944
- febi 194945
This product launch expands the brand’s growing portfolio for electric vehicles. The range now includes nearly 200 parts specifically designed for Tesla models.
