Something that should be mentioned. You do not want to pry the black plugs from behind the washer. I did, and it was not pretty. Ruined the whole installation, and now I might have to have the whole thing replaced. You want to pry in BETWEEN the back washer and the actual plug. So many videos do not mention this, and it's pretty important.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the ride height is different with 18" vs. 20" wheels. The outer diameter of the (correctly sized) tire should still be the same. Otherwise the speedometer (& range?) would be incorrect.
@@AdamsReview Wow. Did your trim of the splash guard still keep hitting curbs & speed bumps? Do you think the smaller mud flaps are enough to prevent rock chips?
Hey @Jo-E - I'm not sure it's a guarantee but should help based on the evidence that my panels behind the mudflaps are significantly less dirty than before the installation. If you have a 3 LR with the 18" wheels, I suggest installing the flaps without the extended piece. I have not experienced any scraping noises or noticeable noise/range drawbacks.
Thank you Joseph. They seem to be too low for the 18" wheels and slightly scrape at the apex of my driveway and scrape against speed bumps in parking lots. Perhaps 19" or 20" rims will work better. I may decide to remove the flaps or modify the flaps by removing some of the flaps.
Interesting. I can see winter tire pkgs on my tesla app for sale but not an option for the mudflaps. I am in Pacific Northwest so I'm curious what Tesla believes is a Colder climate that gets an optional mudflap offering. Upper Midwest, maybe?
Fantastic video. Very helpful.

Be careful with any prying! It should come easily. Thanks for the tip
Great video and very helpful! I hate how low they make my car now though I scrape everything:/
Same here, the car came with the short ones installed and they left me the long one in the boot, after installing then, they scratch on all ramps 😢
What ratchet did you use? Link ?
Gotta get a head cam man you scratched that thing all up!!
Two hands would be nice. Any recommendations?

I suggest not adding the extension flap. Should be 👍

@@Dave--FkTheDeepstate I took off the extra part. It’s been fine in my experience for rock protection and no road/speed bump scrapes
Does this have any noticeable effect on drag/mileage?
I have not noticed anything affecting daily driving range but I'm sure there is an insignificant amount of drag added.
Will these help with any stones that fly up around the area behind the flap? My paint is chipping and I'm guessing it's because I don't have flaps

@Adams Real Reviews I do have a lr but I'm running 20" wheels
Nice job explaining. Did they hold up being that low to the ground?

wait, the mud flaps are only for the front? I've seen several aftermarket sets that include the front and rear. This is really strange to me.
Tesla offers front mudflaps only at this time of video. It’s strange, I agree.
@@AdamsReview They include the rear ones as a “winter package” in colder climates.

@@AdamsReview Poland :)
That is very low to the ground hopefully it don’t hit any things as u drive
Wait....i just got these. So its only for the front? Im so confused lol
Yeah, kinda strange right? I haven’t really thought about it since installing them so they are pretty effective, I guess
@AdamsReview I went ahead with the install tonight. They are pretty low to the ground looks cool. I'm currently searching for some rear ones now
These flaps totally ruin the car. All paint gone on my model 3. Thanks Tesla...
These are terrible. They scrape everytime i go over a bump in parking lot even at low speeds
Agreed for my situation. Once I took off the extension mudflaps, it's been better.
That is the concern I have. Considering installing on my Model 3 Performance but worried they will hit speed bumps.
