Model y mud flaps now available from tesla

[VaxAce]

Likely negligible, but I’ve heard if range loss without the wheel covers so I thought it could be possible.

im with you.. I would think very slight if anything...

Tesla added mud flaps to the site.
Model Y Mud Flaps

Dang it! I just ordered another brand...ah screw it I bought them anyways. Only $40 :/

 

[RenoMD]

For those who might have experience with the model 3 flaps, are these all that is needed to protect or should I do the PPF kit they sell as well? I live in Ohio and am mostly worried about occasional road salt.

Do both! I'm doing both, they are inexpensive paint protection upgrades compared to doing the full clear bra

whoa I got lucky on that then. I just bought it.

We are well into winter but better late than never. Now that they know the demand is there, perhaps make this standard equip? Or at least an option on orders

Tesla All-Weather Kit: The Correction Is Worse Than The Defect

although they have improve on the design, it still has a sallow cavity in the back that could hold some mud!

oh no! A mud flap that may attract mud. Poor design....

Looks like the PPF price was raised back up...it was down to $40 yesterday and seeing $50 again now

 

[HotIce]

Sold out. These go behind the front tires?

Correct, rear isn’t necessary IMO.

Here's what the Tesla factory mud flaps look like installed.

Mine are being delivered today along with the PPF. Paid $80 for both.

 

[TinkyWinks]

Installed mine yesterday. Very easy to put on.

 

[RareJ]

Thanks all for the pics! Does anyone find them rubbing on speed bumps? Or are they high up enough?

False news. Don't ever believe someone with a teletubby as an avatar.

I have a PUP with 20” Induction wheel and tire specs and have about 2.5 inch clearance from the lowest point. The flaps have some give so if you do rub they’ll most likely flex to accommodate.

Acceptance is the first step to recovery; however, the attempt to rectify the issue is half baked. Tesla has acknowledged - although not explicitly - there's a problem with rocks destroying the fenders and rocker panels by recently releasing paint protection film and mudflaps. These aren't post hoc accessories. These accessories should be on each vehicle that rolls off the assembly line in Fremont or wherever they're building Model Y these days. My MYP has about 1,800 miles on it and I'm already seeing light damage near the rear fenders/doors on both sides. I can only imagine what it will look like at 25,000 miles.

I agree, but no way will such things become OEM since they will hurt range. (how much, I have no idea, but its all about marketing the all-important range number for EV skeptics.) Instead, flaps will remain an 'option'.
