I can get them for free from the closest service center. Drive from here to Calgary - 1125 Km - guess NOT FREE.
I'm sure if you call them up, they would be able to mail it to you for free.

Tried that. No go!!I'm sure if you call them up, they would be able to mail it to you for free.
Tried to have them sent by Ranger. No Go!
how about if you have family or friend pick it up for you at Calgary service centre and they mail it to you. The only need to verify your account through the Tesla app.Tried that. No go!!

Would you say that the small ones keep spray off the side of the car?
What's a bigger question for me is just how well they keep the car clean. When there is any wetness on the road (winter or summer) the door seems to become filthy really quickly. I'm wondering how much the small flaps would improve this.

Thanks for the offer.
Not worth worrying about though. ~$25.00 mud flaps & ~ $25.00 to send them here. I do have PPF on the rockers.
Might be heading to Utah and as they don't have chargers on much of I 94 in ND & MT I might have to do the Canadian route and could hit Calgary, but again hardly worth it.
There is someone planning to do the Cross Canada (P. Ocean to A. Ocean) route using only Tesla Chargers so he might be able to pick them up for me and drop off here.
The box is quite large, like a small microwave oven. It would be charged volumetrically for shipping so there would be quite the cost for Tesla.
You'd probably be better buying off of Amazon and taking advantage of their generous shipping terms. TANSTAAFL
I worry that the design in general is lousy, I have PPF (I own a PPF company here in Montreal) on my rockers.
I picked up the mudflaps but have yet to install them, worried about the damage they may cause when there is a lot of snow.
This was my car this morning LOL

I had suggested that option to Calgary but nope. Too bad they couldn't send with the $710.00 CHAdeMO adapter that I just ordered. Not $500 CAD.
@Goodtohave, that is what my wheels look like right now. You are most likely correct to not install.
The PPF is probably all that is really needed though.
I PPF’d the entire rockers on both side
Actually I did 90% of the car so not too worried about it.
My Leaf was pretty bad for snow filling the wheelwells but this car is nuts

I have a P3D and just installed the kit. Had to take the mud flaps off after a test drive and just kept the rock guard on. Rubbed going in and out of garage and on sloped driveway. Don’t think I’d recommend putting them on if you have a Performance model as it is lower.
The design is not good for our climate. It's not the rubbing on the ground, they're flexible enough. It doesn't cover the fender high enough and crud accumulates inside the thing and will accumulate inside the fender because they don't block the hole in the fender. Look at evmudflaps from Antirouille Bolduc. They're not the nicest looking but they do good protection. PPF is still mandatory in our climate no matter what you install.

Would you consider the Rally Armor mudflaps for the Mod3? I believe they are double the price of the EVMs. I had them on my STI and they were great out here in Ottawa. Just not sure if they are worth the extra $$$.

So you don't think over time the rubbing on the ground would apply pressure and cause it to detach from / or damage the plastic trim it's attached to? Again, I got a Performance model. It's 1.5 inches lower.
I don't know for performance, I have an awd. Mine rubbed a couple times on speed bumps even when i was going slow. They are really pliable rubber so I'm under the impression that it wouldn't cause harm. Again, at slow speed. It's just an impression though, I can't guarantee nothing will happen
LiquidMetal, the rally armour ones look good too. I prefer no logo since it's not a rally car (I had a WRX before and they would have looked great on that).
The mounting hardware looks sturdier. Then again, I mounted mud flaps with metallic hardware once and was not able to remove them in summer due to extreme corrosion. I prefer the plastic mounting of the evmudflaps for that reason.

I picked up my M3 two weeks ago and it only had small mud guards in the front. I had purchased mud guards from Amazon and got a third party to install them for me.. cost of installing was $40 and the cost of mud guards was about $40 as well..
well worth it though..
