Mud Flaps Model Y
- Thread starter pgcoco
- Start date
really only need the fronts and the OEM flaps are the best IMO. I have them on my Y. I tried a set of molded flaps from some vendor on Amazon, complete junk. OEM flaps are a nice flexible rubber.
I can speak out of experience, we got the EVMudFlaps for our MYLR and used them for an entire year in Alaska (6 months of harsh winter Mud+Snow) and they are extremely well built and sturdy. They are on the higher end of the price spectrum but they are worth every penny IMO. You will need a pivot drill attachment to make the job much easier.

I also have the OEM ones, and agree, the fit and functionality are spot on. The only negative I've encountered so far is that they occasionally scrape on speed bumps. The scraping does not damage them, they flex.

I have the Tesla ones and drive the model y p. They scrap everywhere but are sturdy. They get everything from front wheel and no rocks hit the side of my car.

What exactly do the front mudflaps do for you? I have owned various ICE cars and none had mudflaps!

Tesla sells only the front mudflaps. Where did you buy the rear mud flaps?Front 2 are sufficient. I have all 4 but didn’t even bother installing the rear ones
I should have clarified. I didn’t buy them oem mudflaps. I have these

Rally armor are the really nice but expensive. Aftermarket ones leave marks on the paint. Not sure about the Tesla ones leaving marks but I have heard that people lose them or cracking them because they scrap the ground a lot
Don't drive much on muddy or dirt roads, however was thinking of Front mud flaps or going with PPF kit like the one below for the lower Drivers and Passenger Rear Coverage. I tend to think that mud flaps will be beneficial for front tires kicking backs stones, dirt etc as well as to minimize water spray while driving in the rain? Thoughts. I do have a hood, front bumper, fenders etc covered in PPF.

I went to the Tesla site to check out their OEM mud flaps and the page says they are not compatible with my 2020 Model Y. Why would that be? I don’t believe Tesla has changed the wheel well design. Did they add screw holes to mount the mud flaps since 2020?
We don't mean to sound bias but we really do have the best fitting Mudflaps and accessories for your model y (and model 3) see for yourselves. We think our flaps look better than OEM. Our mud flaps, model y Floormats, and underseat storage is available now!

Just an update which I've also posted on one of the other mud flap discussions....If you drive in snow, any version which features a "cupped" design will definitely pack in snow, and eventually break off. I'd hoped the Tesla front mud flaps with their flat surface would be better, but the answer is no. I lost the LF Tesla mud flap today and had lost the rear cupped mud flap a couple weeks ago. Aurgh.

Good info. I don’t see many at all here in the front range with flaps. I ordered a set but might return them as I’m having PPF done on the car which should mitigate the issue with rock chips tearing it up.
