"Loser brings an orange ball from Canadian Tire!!" Lol, love the Goon movies...A VIABLE SOLUTION - MUD FLAPS
We get almost six months of sand/gravel/salt hell here in Ontario from November until April and I think my new LR will take a crap kicking. I purchased and 'dry fit' a number of generic (and even 2020 MS) flaps and came into a solution that I am confident will do the job. I could not find the manufacturers website but the flaps are made by a company (or branded as) Pro-Fit Splashguards. Everyone sells them and for Canadians....Canadian Tire of course. They are sold by a Model number from #1, #2 etc getting larger and different profiles. I purchased and dry fit #1, #2 and #3 and the #1 matched the front and rear profiles of the body very well. I have looked at a ton of videos on how they are mounted on Model 3's etc and the use of 3M VHB tape seems to be the solution between the flap and the body to seal out crap from getting in between the flaps and the body paint and damaging the paint. That tape is tough yet removeable and is a major part of the mounting solution. As for mounting on the inside of the wheel wells, the front wells have ONE press clip that can be removed and replaced to pin the flap in the place. The lower rocker is plastic so one could drill and use a press clip along the bottom horizontal of the flap. Up top within the wheel well the body panel is metal and nobody will want to drill into that. The flap hangs past the metal and overhangs the plastic wheel well lining that you could easily use a self tapping screw from the flap to the plastic wheel well insert or a press (trim clip). That does the fronts. The rear has no reusable clips like other Tesla models do BUT the body panels are all plastic to drilling a couple of holes and using trim clips (along with 3M VHB tape on the body side between the flap and the paint) will do the trick. The profile and look is custom. They do not hang down too far and due to the design, they profile in with the body very nicely. The mounting is generic and would require removing the rear wheels to have a good access/working platform but I think very simple and doable.
My plan is to move the car into a heated space in early November and remove each wheel to mount the snow tires and while it is off, mount the mud flaps at each location. I cannot find one vendor committing to 2021+ refresh mud flaps and see some are going with the generic flat plastic flaps which do the trick as well however these do give a nice integrated/profiled look so I wanted to get it out there for you.
Haha - they even put the flaps fitting each of the FOUR 2022 variations of the Model S: The LR, LR+, Performance, and PlaidI think it is sketchy that they added 2021 on there. The wheel well interiors are different including attachment points. When I look at those, I see an integrated clip at the top that I think would work and then perhaps it is just using the supplied screws into the plastic wheel well liner. I have not found a set yet specifically for the 2021 refresh. That being said, I do believe the geometry of the body panels are the same so the contour of the mats could be a good fit. When I look closer at the eBay pictures, it looks like one of the tabs would pick up one of the trim push pins on the front wells and the rest would be screwed into the plastic well liner. I went to order a pair and they don't ship to Canada so I searched for 2021 specific flaps and lo and behold
These actually look like they connect to the proper points !
Tezz....Yep..those are them.... I have a bunch of the press in trim clips that I plan to use and the self tappers would be PLAN C. Love the Goon moviesHaha - they even put the flaps fitting each of the FOUR 2022 variations of the Model S: The LR, LR+, Performance, and Plaid
Technically though, they could fit a 2021 Model S perfectly...since a small handful of 2021 MS's were delivered in late 2020 - right before the refresh announcement and factory halt for re-tooling in Jan 2021. Now their fitment chart lists 2022 models that don't even exist. But they're not being sketchy now, they're downright lying.
Please post a link to the mud flaps you installed. I have not found them on Advance Auto Parts. ThanksOk, if China isn‘t making them for the Model S Refesh RPM and the other’s won’t have them, period. However I did order 2 sets of those ProFit splash guards from Advance Auto Parts for $32 and here’s the results. Much better than nothing and will work until China starts pumping them Out specific for the Model S RefreshView attachment 723388
Has anyone attempted to bolt on some universal mud flaps like these? Might be a temporary fix until some nicer formal ones are made.
