    There was a fourth choice for "Model Y" earlier on but now it's gone as those are sold out. Don't purchase the flaps made for other Tesla models.. they won't fit the MY.

    No, the Model Y ones are temporarily out of stock, but those were the ones I got. No drilling required. I needed a flathead screwdriver to pop the old pins out and the new ones fit perfectly in there.

    I bought my Model 3 mud guards from Amazon as well, but different brand, it was Motrobe. That was a little over a year ago. Very similar look and feel.

    We all bought the same ones from Amazon "nansure model y mud flaps" but they removed them from the site now as they are out of stock... you can't even see the item listed any longer.

    There are two similar on ebay... both from China...

    Direct from China::

    And the same item from a USA company importing them/expecting them at the end of Feb then shipped out to you (look at the full page description for time/delivery estimates):

    It’s way cheaper to buy these from Alibaba.

    That’s what I did and they should be here next month.

    The Model Y ones are out of stock, but will be back in stock soon. They only come in a set of 4. They arrived to me in California less than two weeks after ordering. They were shipped from China. I am happy with the purchase. These were the first production ones they made for the Y and they were tested and prototyped on a real Model Y first before being sold.

    Some of us waited months or a year for our Tesla's ...... seems like ordering from Aliexpress and waiting 4-6 weeks for mud flaps isn't that big a deal :)

    How do you order from this website? Can’t read Spanish, do they even ship to the US?

    It's in English... And yes, they do because I ordered from them. It's currently on a plane over to the US according to the tracking info in their app.

    I buy from Aliexpress on a regular basis, no real issues except delivery can at times be painfully slow yet sometimes surprisingly fast however rather rare. Just pointing out 1 thing though, the picture shown with flaps mounted to the car are of a model 3! Not saying they are not the correct ones but sometimes those listings are confusing/wrong. Been there done that.

    Aliexpress/Alibaba is basically a Chinese Amazon. They are huge. Alibaba Group - Wikipedia

    I actually meant to say mine were from Aliexpress - mental lapse, but the link I posted is still correct for where I bought mine from them.

    I am sorry for asking I did not see if. Maybe I did read far enough back. But thank you for your time in answering it.

    Do you own the company that sells the mudguards? lol

    I just checked the amazon link and they have model y mudguards now but it's twice as much as the model 3 and they used the photos you posted on here as their selling photos haha

    just fyi
