Tesla All Weather Protection Kit [mudflaps/ppf] - Anyone in the UK Been Contacted?

[Jason71]

I've got a set sitting in a box in my garage right now - have you noticed them making a meaningful difference in the amount of dirt up the side?

I have fitted a set of mud guards and while I hope they are reducing wear on the paintwork directly behind the wheel I have not noticed any real improvement in how clean they keep the car. The front ones are also not a great fit at the top and by themselves may actually damage the paintwork over time without a little filing and some tape to cushion them (which i have done. Also the big puddle that damaged my floor also nearly removed one of them as well!
So all in all not sure they are worthwhile but I have fitted now so will stick with them. I have white on white. Colour match is pretty good. Other colours not so good I believe. I have noticed any impact on efficiency.

Mine certainly gets a lot of muck on the rear - while the sides can still be clean.

Whether that's worse than a non-P M3 I don't know! LR/SR+ owners, how dirty does your rear end get?

Same ... I will admit to a dirty rear end. Lower half of the sides eventually get pretty grimy but the rest of the car stays surprisingly clean.

The Tesla ones are not much different than the Chinese plastic ones in my opinion. If you want really good protection and coverage with saving money on car washes I suggest Rally Armor. Here’s some photos of mine. These are polyurethane and super flexible. Even if they touch a speed bump it is no worry. Only downside is the price, but these should last many seasons and are easily removable in Spring. The dirt you see on my car is after driving through snow blizzards for 2 weeks in the Alps.

Difficult to judge, but any noticeable effect on range? I've not noticed anything with the flaps we have already on the car, but those look wider (especially at the back) and deeper.

Any Euroside suppliers? Add shipping and potential customs, they work our rather expensive if replacing what I already have. Different story when they break and need to replace. Mind you, the Rally Armor website is pretty cautious when using their flaps as if they have issues too.

sorry for non thread question but: where did you chrome delete in Geneva? I am living around and cant find any good place to tint and chrome delete. thanks

Bit of a price difference with those mudflaps!

They do look good. The ones I got from amazon were hard plastic and instead of being flat on the forward facing part were concave, which wouldn't help range at all I'd think, so I never installed them.

I broke 2 sets of Chinese plastic ones on speed bumps and was pissed. Finally Rally Armor released a Model 3 kit in late December.

Feel free to send me a PM. I know a great team in Geneva that did my entire car PPF and chrome delete for 1/3 the price of all other shops in the area!

Love the photo with car, the boat, the sky. I also think you must have much cleaner snow than we do!!

Had an email from Tesla about this. Is it spam ?

Was just offered a complimentary all-weather protection kit via the Tesla Shop:

Nope just had it as well and it works!

Looks legit, just redeemed it.

 

[RichOB]

Also redeemed and I’m a lease customer so I didn’t think I would be eligible as I don’t own the car!

 

[curmudgeon]

I just got the email too.

And redeemed it. the voucher code is on the last page to reduce to zero.

Happy Christmas!

 

[TomD]

I received the same. Seems very unlike Tesla to give something away for free. I wonder if they have been taken to court and lost for the paint quality not being up to scratch?

Just got the email. Looks like you need to fit them yourself

The asterisk caught me out too.

I ordered it, it's free. I don't know whether I'll bother fitting it though, since I have PPF down there already anyway and have heard crud gets behind the flap, etc.
