Mud Flaps Installed on Cybertruck - First Photos

[illadave]

I question calling it "damage" to the stainless panels if that "damage" is of no consequence (basically invisible, or nearly so) and could be easily brought back to new condition at any time with a sander.

As to preventing mud splashes on the side of the truck, it will probably reduce splashes, but I've never seen mud flaps that could eliminate puddle splashes. But the real point I wanted to make, is that after around 400 miles off pavement driving, I've noticed the Cybertruck consistently has really nice mud splash patterns. I think it looks better, much better, after splashing through some mud puddles than it looks freshly washed. That may not be the case with mud flaps in use, I don't know because I haven't tried them.

I want to be clear; I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from mud flaps, just adding more data points for the decision process. They will not help aero, or Tesla would have included them with the truck.

I’m kind of digging the “dirty” look on the truck. Makes it look more rugged lol.

Are these different than what is on the truck already?

The aero fairings are in front of each wheel, these go behind the wheels.

Nice was thinking of getting these to but couldn't justify the $100 for mudd flaps there are some generic ones for less than $50.

Can you let me know how it is? Is it worth it?

I ordered the generic ones and they were awful. Sent them back. These keep the integrity of the beast !

These pictures don’t really do anything, can you zoom out on the truck

Doesn't it touch the pavemenf at lowest setting?

Dirty on plastic fenders or front/back bumpers zone look rugged and tough, NOT to good on stainless steel.

Tesla matching CT mud flaps design look great, durable and helps with small street driving debries and raining season dirty splashes. Range is negligible for cities.

I love accessories for my CT. but if the range to suffer from it, I will not buy it. They look nice though. The CT have the wind deflector in front off the tires, not sure if this mud flap countered it. It may help with deflecting the mud if I am in the muddy situation, rarely for me.

CT mud flaps have good functions and look great with tough rugged wheel spacers, also functional with wider stable handling.

Just got mine today. But why so many different screws?

I found installation guide from Tesla

Finally install my flaps
But…there two clips dropped when I install rear flaps. I don’t know how and where to put them back ?

Ah I respectfully disagree!! I love my dirty, muddy stainless steel truck. I think it looks awesome!! ??

Hope to camo mud mine up shortly. That gosh darn sun shining on that beautiful stainless is making me have to put on the shades. 1800 miles should solve that.

This non Tesla brand helps cover rear wheel steering area protection.

I am looking into buying this as well. Are there any downsides to installing these?

- does it scrape the road when going over speed bumps? (My Model 3 mud flaps sometimes do, although it doesn't bother me that much)

- does it impact aero efficiency by a lot? I'm thinking it won't be that significant given what I experienced with the Model 3 mud flaps (not much change to efficiency after installing them)

- was it easy to install? My Model 3 mud flap installation was kind of a pain because there wasn't much room to wiggle around given how the car sits low. But I'm thinking the CT mud flaps will be very easy to install since it sits so high.
