i will be respraying matt black before I fit them.
Just received my RED mudflaps. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07WHBVBV4/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_3p_dp_1
They look well designed but DO NOT BUY THE RED ONES! I expected a paint match to Tesla's one and only red colour but the flaps were more a scarlet colour and looked awful agaimnst my red M3. SO i will be respraying matt black before I fit them.
I guess the coloured ones will be of the less flexible variety if they are painted otherwise the paint would be likely to crack in that serious twist thing you see in some of the sellers pictures.I would bring that up with seller. They may offer you a partial refund.
More importantly though, as I had spotted these in black. How flexible/elasticated are they? I previously received some mud flaps which were described as being highly flexible with an image of them being twisted. I see these ones also have a similar image and wonder if they are any different in terms of construction and flexibility - I have a very real concern regarding speed humps - we have a couple of particularly vicious ones where we live. As far as I can see, most mud flaps are identical no matter where you buy them from. However, there does appear to be two different types of material, one more flexible than the other, but it is very difficult to see what is what when many of the descriptions show images/descriptions of the flap being twisted/flexible when the reality (at least as far as mine were concerned) may be quite different.

I would prefer to spray them with a colour match - any idea if I can get Tesla Red spray can anywhere? I dont really want to ask a body shop to do it as I suspect a high price.Could you respray colour-matched with your car? Just curious (but red-on-red seems to me more long term than black-on-red)
Thanks to the recommendations here I went with the...

Pretty easy to fit. But I did hope to get away with some double sided gorilla tape instead of drilling the front flaps.
This didn't do it for me - not the most secure fit and I felt I really had to drill the holes in the liner and put the screws in to get them close.
Just in case that puts anyone off.
They look good i reckon and will hopefully help with chips and spray though - so go for it I reckon.
No speed bumps. They are very low profile though - I would be surprised if there is a problem. Will report back if any issues come up.Have you been over any speed bumps since fitting these? Do they bend if you catch them?
I think the point is that the normal/traditional use of wrapping has been to turn cars into matt purple coloured go carts, so it increases the risk, hence the additional premium. That's how actuarials work.

Surely it’s better Tesla address the paint issue,
