For reference on this issue as well...these are the OEM’s and I think I am going to stick with them as they definitely seem to provide better coverage I hope to try out in upcoming rain.I installed my RPM ones as well and am not confident in the design of the front flaps being as effective as they could be. The design tapers back and looks like it only minimally would protect against debris getting kicked up from the front tire. To be fair, I haven’t driven in the rain (or other conditions that would be good to test) yet with these installed but something I noticed. I also ordered the OEM version and will be trying them on later today to see what those look like in person as they undoubtably will work better to protect (even if they don’t subjectively look as good installed).
Most cars look better with some sort of flap, IMHO. I view flaps as part function, part looks. I am going to try the RPM flaps. Honestly, OEM look like they came off a semi trailer, no thanks..I prefer the RPM flaps, and just installed another set this morning. They look more "factory" than the OEM ones too.
Did you test the RPM flaps in the rain? If so how was the coverage?For reference on this issue as well...these are the OEM’s and I think I am going to stick with them as they definitely seem to provide better coverage I hope to try out in upcoming rain.
I did not yet as I’m in SoCal and the opportunity to test rain conditions isn’t all that often.Did you test the RPM flaps in the rain? If so how was the coverage?
I am somewhat worried about the longevity of the OEM flaps given their lower ground clearance and the reports they scrape on speed bumps. It seems that this would cause a force pulling back again against the 2 plastic rivets that are used to attach them. Has anyone with the OEM flaps had an issue of their coming loose?
Agreed ... the OEM Tesla flaps will provide better coverage than the front RPM flaps do, but for me I can’t get over the look of them.

Just installed Tesla flaps. They are molded and fit perfectly, plenty close to the road. Would like a tad more shape to them but they are very solid, fit like factory.Agreed ... the OEM Tesla flaps will provide better coverage than the front RPM flaps do, but for me I can’t get over the look of them.

I would say I had the same concerns and after installing the OEM ones they are actually fairly subtle from most angles (see overexposed pic below for example to make sure they are obvious) and I don’t plan to reinstall the RPM ones. Its all subjective I suppose but wanted to share based on having installed both.Agreed ... the OEM Tesla flaps will provide better coverage than the front RPM flaps do, but for me I can’t get over the look of them.

Rain is coming tonight.I did not yet as I’m in SoCal and the opportunity to test rain conditions isn’t all that often.
mud flaps and PPF there is a must. I had the mud flaps on and ran over the asphalt debris left over from fixing potholes and it sounded like the car got blasted. sure enough, there were a bunch of brown dots with chips. I just installed the PPF so no further damage but the damage was already done!Took the MYP snowboarding. This is the debris with diy mudflaps. Diy ppf right in the strike area. View attachment 641645
I just purchased the RPM flaps. Take a look at the install video on RPM websiteSo I've had my MY for two weeks now and am noticing a lot of road dirt, spray behind my wheels (20" induction).mmWhat mud flap options exist? I've seen a few model 3 versions - but most are saying they don't fit the model Y.
What are others trying or waiting on to install?
For those that have OEM mudflaps, do you find that it is enough or would you still put on the PPF on the rear doors? Under normal conditions... not snow.
You're lucky you don't have much wear on the 3. I only have 1800 miles on my MYP and my rockers feel pretty pitted already. And this is in Orange County CA with decent roads and no snow. I started looking at mudflaps when I drove in the one time we had rain and heard all the pinging of the rocks off the bottom of the car.I'll be adding PPF as well to some aftermarket flaps. I order a long roll of 6" wide 3M PPF so I'll see hoe that goes I'll also try adding to the rockers of my 2018 model 3 as well (should have done it before but I don't see much wear)
I’m in OC as well and just crossed 4000 miles including two road trips to SF (1 of which was in the rain nearly the entire time both ways). No visible damage on either rocker panel but I added flaps just to be safe for the long term. I’ll just consider myself lucky in the meantime.That's interesting. I have a model 2018 model 3 lr RWD with 1520mm spacers and I have no damage in my rocker area. Model y on the other hand had 3 chips within 500mi. Also in OC.
