for those asking the mud flaps for model Y is suppose to be installed in the front as they protect the portion of the paint by the front of the back wheel paint.

Sorry what?

the mud flaps do not go on the back like traditional mud flaps they go in the front wheels to protect the paint.

First time hearing that. Pretty sure you are not correct. Tesla puts ppf in that area to protect the pain not a mud flop. (In cold regions)

well for those of us who read the installation guidelines you would know they go on the front lol.

the mud flaps prevent rocks sand salt etc from being launched and chipping the paint in the area highlighted in yellow. the PPF also helps

But in the installation guild it clearly shows and tells you to install the mud flaps in the front.

By law, if your car throws up gravel behind it and that damages another car, you're responsible.

Tesla installs only front mud flops correct. After market fixed that with rear mud flops just like you see in pic. I don’t understand what are we discussing?

You are not responsible for damage caused by debris like gravel that is kicked up by your wheels from the road surface. You are responsible for damage from unsecured load debris (rock sitting in a pickup bed) from your vehicle.

your thinking about if you are hauling gravel. Insurance company's cant go after the car that flings rocks gravel salt rock etc unless they are hauling it. unless you can prove they intentionally did it.

the whole point in this thread not sure if you read the main post(just like reading the installation guidelines on the mud flaps) we are talking about people installing the mudflaps incorrectly by installing them in the back wheels

I really don’t think many people are making the mistake of putting the Tesla flaps on the back. Pretty sure mostly everyone knows that you need aftermarket ones if you want rear flaps.
