# Brakes

Carbon-ceramic brakes with per-wheel application, and a wing used as an airbrake.

## What it is

The brakes are described as carbon-ceramic, with each wheel able to be braked on its own. The rear wing is described as tilting about 90 degrees to act as an airbrake. Barge boards are also described as cooling those brakes.

Figures below come from Tesla posts or from engineers speaking to outlets. Where sources disagree, the spec sheet says so.
