# 2020-2024 Tesla Model Y Brake Pad and Rotor Specifications

Brake pad references and rotor diameters for the 2020-2024 Tesla Model Y, front and rear. Front rotors measure 355 mm. Includes electronic parking brake service notes where they apply.

## 2020-2024 Tesla Model Y brake specifications (Verified)

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Front rotor diameter | 355 mm |
| Rear rotor diameter | 335 mm |

Note: 355 mm front / 335 mm rear ventilated rotors on all trims (Performance gets red calipers, same rotor diameters per the service manual). Electronic parking brake. Rear pads need brake service mode from the touchscreen. Regenerative braking means pads often last 100k+ mi but can seize from disuse in salty climates; Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating calipers every 12 months / 12,500 mi where roads are salted.
