"Group buy opportunity" for reasonably priced Mud Flaps (Model 3)
- Thread starter jebinc
- Start date
That's $33.96 dollars for 4 pieces of cut 1/8" plastic with some tape, a stainless steel mounting bracket and 2 cents worth of plastic fasters!
Others are selling the same for $150 and people here have been paying it! 
Absolutely agree with you, and I think it gets down to the demographics of the average Tesla buyer. We're not minimum wage people, we're (mostly) probably 6 figure salary people (or combined), so we have disposable cash, and as such, we tend to buy things because they look neat and/or inexpensive (to us). But I've been a supply chain professional all my life, so I tend to really weigh a product based on its value or perceived value before making a purchase. In this case, I just couldn't justify 1/8" pieces of plastic for $40, it's doesn't mean they not worth it to some, just not to me. The look cheap and I refuse to give people free advertising, i.e., each flap has the manufacturer's name blazoned across the bottom from side to side. If it said T E S L A it might be different, but they don’t.

Yeah, all the other alternatives charge you 80 for 2 pieces of 1/8” plastic....
Still waiting on mine....
I generally agree with you not wanting to give people free advertising. In this case, these flaps have no names "blazoned," or otherwise, on the product. Second, if you are referring to this thread as free advertising, you are mistaken there as well. More than 150 group buy participants received a 15% discount for the group buy orders generated by this post - So, the advertisement here was not "Free" for the manufacturer. For these reasons, I "disagree" with your earlier post.

So the picture that was posted (below) was in error? My comment on free advertising was simply based on the picture, not a mention on this forum.
Absolutely an error on your part. The $33.96 group buy was for "Tsolutions" flaps, not RallyArmor. Another poster to this tread, like you who did not participate in the group buy, may have posted pictures of his/her alternative to the Tsolutions group buy, as a means of offering us all another alternative to the group buy supplier. Have a great day!
EDIT: This thread was intended to be for the Tsolutions group buy and follow-on reviews and pictures; we can't control who posts what here, or anywhere else on TMC, as long as the TMC rules are followed.

Too hot outside to install....hitting 109 F during both days of the weekend. Inside the cool A/C house, I did cover the metal brackets with left over Xpel PPF. I know it's overkill, because I already have full exterior Xpel, but since I had scraps anyway.....

Crickets... would have thought we would have seen some more pictures and reviews by now...
Installed them today, took about 20 minutes..
Thanks! So we have Blue and Silver/gray covered! What about the other 147 folks that participated in the group buy?

Finally!! They look great. That's what a real set of mudflaps are supposed to look like. Not like those rubbery, cheap looking tiny things
Nice install too. Looks clean.
Black and Dark Blue, awesome combo.

Still waiting for mine - order July 15th. Need them soon for upcoming road trip!
This is a great idea and I cannot understand how Tesla didn't add something like this from the factory. In comparison, my wife's VW Beetle came with the cutest functional mud flaps from the factory...
On the other hand, for someone even slightly handy, making a set of these is not that hard.
