I'm still planning to proceed with this, but I have a few other projects taking up my time at the moment. Based on initial measurements, I would guess the cost will be ~$100 higher based on additional material cost. I'll probably have a set testing by Spring.

Thanks ... please keep us updated.
I wonder if BMW rotors could be adapted based on the same bolt pattern and wheel offset as Tesla?

If you need a hot weather tester, let me know: P90D with Ludicrous, and regularly partake of high energy, high temperature stops. (21" wheels, in case that matters.)
I still don't get this. The parking/emergency brake has NO hydraulics of which I am aware. While I've never taken one apart, the caliper sounds like it's simply spinning a gear to clamp on to the rear rotors via two 12-volt motors, one for each rear wheel. Is there more to it? Frankly, works great, lasts a long time--why would you life to go back to a rear drum brake for this application? It sounds like going back in time with both far more complexity, and greatly reduced system effectiveness, no?
