No, these mud flaps are exclusive to the Tesla Model 3.
These Farasla mud flaps were created specifically for the Tesla Model 3. They're installed in my 2018 M3. They should fit on the 2022 model M3 because the M3's external body hasn't changed that much. They aren't going to fit in the Model Y. Before making a purchase, I would suggest contacting the manufacturer to confirm.
Selected User Reviews For Farasla Upgraded No Drilling Required Mud Flaps for Tesla Model 3 Only
These flaps are a great way to protect your Tesla from rocks and dirt, and they don't require any drilling (for reference, I have a 2020 Tesla Model 3 SR). They simply use existing holes and double-sided tape. They look like they belong on the car once they're installed; there's nothing odd about them. However, there are a few issues. First, please try to use the clips that came with your car, as the included longer clips are a joke. They're longer to accommodate holding the flaps, but the bulge you push in is bigger than the Tesla clips. It's difficult to insert them, and the included clips' plastic is so soft that you'll have a hard time getting them out if something goes wrong. I had to chew and pull the clip out with a pair of snips, destroying it completely. Use the OEM clips that came with the car, even if it's difficult to do. They're a little tight, but if you line them up correctly and push hard enough, they'll fit and engage in a tight lock. Second, the tape in question was labeled as "3M" double-sided tape. What you get instead is a cheap Chinese knockoff "3M" tape. Even with their included adhesion promoter, which is also a bit of a joke, it won't stick as well as the real deal tape. The tape's main purpose is to act as a barrier between the plastic flaps and your car's paint, preventing one from scratching the other. It won't help much with adhering the flap to the car, so don't waste your time trying to get it to stick. The rear flaps' clips and bolts do an excellent job, and they should not be removed any time soon. Overall, I like the flaps a lot, and I think they'll stay on without issue, but I don't like the cheap soft plastic clips and knockoff tape that came with them. They'll work better if you use the clips that came with your Tesla.
I've had these on my Tesla M3 for about two months and they're doing a fantastic job of keeping mud and dirt off the lower sides of the car, where the wheels are. These guards appear to be made of high-quality vinyl and are tailored to the Tesla M3 wheel well's profile. br>br>The instructions were adequate, but I found that watching a couple of Utube videos greatly aided me. Before attempting to install, I recommend that you do so. Installation does not necessitate the use of drills. The mud guards are secured in place with new, longer push clips that fit into the existing push clip holes on the wheel well behind each tire. I began by addressing the rear guards. The lower part of the rear guard is also held in place by a bolt below the rear fender, and there was a minor alignment problem with the rear passenger side that was resolved with a little extra effort. The flap's upper part attaches to the wheel well with a clip. The manufacturer recommends using double sided tape (provided) to support the upper part of each front guard, but I found that the upper part of the front guard clipped on to the wheel well just like the rear guard did, so I didn't need to use it. br>br>Installing all four flaps took me (a 79-year-old man) about 20 minutes. br>br>They look fantastic, and I'm overjoyed.
These were purchased to replace my Toplight mud flaps, which required two holes to be drilled in order for the front mudflaps to be properly secured. I had hoped that the 3M tape that came with the set would eliminate the need for such a precaution, but the tape didn't stick well at all - Even after applying the adhesion promoter, I had Command Strips applied to my Toplight mud flaps, which had a better hold. br>br>These mud flaps do feel more durable than the Toplight mud flaps, but due to the difficulty of aligning the snap-ons, the installation took a little longer than the Toplight brand. a hole for screws Overall, I think I like these better than the other set, so I'll stick with them for now. br>br>In the end, I had to drill holes to secure the two front mud flaps, which wasn't nearly as scary as I had anticipated.
There are many other sellers selling mudflaps that are similar to these, but this kit appears to be the most well-thought-out. It's well-thought-out and put-together. Features:
- In the box, each mudflap is individually wrapped to protect it from scuffs. br>- Complete installation instructions and fasteners are included. br>- 3M Adhesive Tape is included to secure the mudflaps to the body panel so that they don't vibrate and scratch the paint (if dirt gets in between). br>- Overall, these flaps provide a complete installation kit for only a little more money than other kits. br>br>Overall, these flaps provide a complete installation kit for only a little more money than other kits. It is a good deal.
In December, I placed an order for these. They were as simple to install as any other splash guard on my FRS or Lexus IS before it, but by April I had one that kept popping loose and was LOST during a heavy rain drive. The original fit was decent, but the plastic gradually bowed away from the sheet metal, leaving unsightly gaps and dirt buildup. By the time I removed the guards from my car in early April, the 3M sticky tape had lost its adhesion to the guard. Before all of this, I had driven a total of 1400 miles (thanks to my infrequent driving due to Covid!). When I tried to gently pop them out with a flat head screw driver, almost all of the provided plastic pop screws broke. The original Tesla snaps didn't do this (thankfully, I saved them and reapplied them once the splash guards were removed). The box and first impression were excellent; however, the 3M tape, pop screws, and plastic could have been a little more durable.
Drilling isn't required, which is a huge plus. The only problem is that the push plugs that come with the kit require some muscle to push in properly, as stated in the instructions, because they fit snugly! I had some problems with that bit I must admit, but once it is in, it is secure 100%.
Because they don't fit the US variant of the MIC Model 3, these must be made for it. I have a Long Range Dual Motor from the end of 2018. The fronts were fine, but the backs were a tad too tight. On my car, the bolt that needs to be removed according to the instructions does not exist; Nothing, not even a hole. Furthermore, the clip and curvature do not match the car at all, so no matter what you do, it will fall off.
