The thing is I don’t think it is your flaps it’s the design defect of the vehicle. I tried 2 sets of flaps from my companies.

I would just rather not drill anything because the other 3 flaps are flat against the fender except this one side. Might be a Tesla design defect and not a flap defect. I already tried 2 different sets of flaps from different companies.
I would say yes mainly because they do not require the rear bolt to be removed or unscrewed but if I could only just somehow figure out how to make sure the right front flap stays flush against the fender I would be in business.

I saw this video and found it interesting to see the differences between two models of mudflaps. I like the idea of the metal clip to ensure a secure fit on the fronts.

I am happy with A-Premium I have them on both the 3 and Y. They look even better on the 3.

I will say that the bolt came out easily and was easy to just finger to rethread.
That was easier than digging out the plastic pop up holdy (TM) things.
The biggest con was the rears don't have metal clips, and I didn't use the included screws because I didn't want to create new holes. (Strangely the screws where only for the Y and they didn't have that on the 3)

It seems to be hit or miss on if they are actually included. Some people also prefer matching front/rear, though I believe the OEM ones are the better performing optionHmmm. Reading this thread and a bit confused as my MYLR that arrived last week came with front mud flaps. Wondering if earlier deliveries did not or if the factory installed flaps are not sufficient
Having a vehicle with front flaps and no rear flaps looks very awkward in my opinion.

I don’t get what you did exactly? Can we various angles lod your vehicle looks with the Tesla front flaps and those rears that you installed?I purchased the front Tesla mud flaps, and since nobody makes flaps just for the rear I picked up a cheap set of mud flaps on amazon to provide rear mud flaps. I hated the look of them, so I did this:
View attachment 698799View attachment 698800View attachment 698801View attachment 698803View attachment 698804View attachment 698805
I think it looks pretty good

My Model Y w/Tesla mud flaps installed looks just like the Model Y in Post #31 except mine is white and I have not removed the Gemini wheel covers. To me the Model Y looks quirky because from the rear it reminds me of the Saab 92B

The front of the rear mud flaps (the part that faces the tire) is a scoop, rather than being a flat peice of plastic, I covered the cavities in the mud flap with a layer of black vinyl wrap.
