There is no other person I would trust with a mud flap review! LOL

[@ericy.2108]

Cool garage lights, I’d like to see a review of that lol. How heavy is it? I don’t know if I feel comfortable l putting that in a regular lightbulb socket lest the whole thing fall on my car.

[@DirtyTesla]

@@ericy.2108 😂 They're not that big

[@yk.1343]

Amazing Mud Flaps.. not sure if I can justify 10x price compared to plastic ones.. $18.99 vs $189.98 Dirty Tesla, are they worth 10x the price?

[@DirtyTesla]

@@yk.1343 I think for the model 3 they are, but on the Y the cheaper flaps don't touch the paint so either way you're good

[@LordLoMR2]

Those are probably the best made mud flaps. I’ve had those $30-40 Amazon mudflaps and they always detach where it latches onto the fender; also it’s rigid so over speed bumps it tends to chip and crack.

[@brochad1]

I should get these. I’ve broken a set at a car wash. I like that they are floppy!

[@wadeyorke8144]

The reason that the rear flaps are sometimes not used is that the dirt thrown up by the rear tire just hits the underside of the plastic bumper cover. If the Model Y has plastic rocker panel covers from front to back, even front flaps may not be needed to protect the paint.

[@tafl-9198]

That front-to-back plastic rocker panel is something I am really missing on my Model 3 !!!

[@royalle9625]

thanks man. very helpful to watch beforehand. love your reaction to your socks and flip flops.

[@TossACoinToYourWitcher]

I would be worried about the clips and screws rusting with all the road salt we use. Maybe switch to stainless steel screws and aluminum clips. I have found screws to be bad for mud flaps if you ever try to remove them over some time. It maybe better that the backing is plastic instead of rusting welding into some clip or nut that is steel. I agree it should be flat black, not gloss. But if we keep mine and yours dirty we should be fine :) .

[@roncourtright4298]

FYI: The mud flap kit purchased in 2022 for a post-2017 Model 3 is much different from the kit used here. The principal difference is that the new kit uses metal mounting brackets all the way around instead of clips.

[@clarenceboddicker7708]

Do they look good?

[@nick0780]

Man I like these. I got the Amazon special ones 2 years ago before these were available. Going to cost me $600 in paintwork when I take them off. Great

[@DirtyTesla]

I was able to just use Tesla's paint repair kit and from a normal viewing distance it looked fine.

[@Abszol]

Almost installed the amazon ones last year, ended up with these bad boys. Good choice.

[@nandhakumarthirumurugan8503]

You are really making “dirty” tesla fade away

[@Delc0]

That's where all the unused vinyl records went...😆

[@eldershawn]

Awesome thank you for the video just got finished. Most important tool is the flexible or 45 degree driver.

[@YOUNGCEEE]

Where to buy the electric screw driver? I’m struggling 😂😢

[@robkeshav800]

Look forward to your review of FSD 9.1 over the weekend.

[@royallclark6331]

Followed the link and had a case of sticker shock!! $165.00 is too much for flat mud-flaps in my opinion... Plus you're advertising for the company too!!

[@techyjames1945]

I totally agree I was all set to get a set, but 165 for what likely would cost 30 dollars in material is way too much for my taste.

[@techyjames1945]

Curious since I use. Car wash that uses soft cloth spines to wash my car and the previous flaps popped off in the front from the tire shine application.

[@DETROIT12345678933]

You can install an adhesive Mylar. That will protect the pain.

[@snaky72]

I don‘t like the flaps, …, but i like you video!! Greetings from switzerland.

[@journey-Mein]

apologies if I missed it but where is the link for that fle head power driver? it didn't look or sound too bad and could prove useful. and thanks for the nice review. .

[@chibianh7700]

I also have the flat style and they've performed well!

[@williamputnam281]

Huge spider on the wall around 3:00 is kinda nightmare fuel. The FSD computer in my head is great at tagging spiders. Thanks for the review!

[@DirtyTesla]

Ha. I like them in the garage so they eat all the other bugs!

[@EEI605]

Love those flaps, have them on my vehicle

[@OrganicStuff1]

Ohh they look exactly like the EV mudflaps from Canada , this one looks much easier to install

[@amdhehe]

the EV mudflaps are quite a much more reasonable price though.

[@tammyjohnson1118]

Now I see why it’s called dirtytesla!

[@C_M_R]

(8:51) which garage lights are you using? I didn't see a link in the description.

[@DirtyTesla]

These amzn.to/3QuAYHn I love them 😍 but maybe wait for a sale they're expensive

[@EpicBenjo]

Have you noticed any change to range with the mudflaps?

[@DirtyTesla]

Nope

[@natep121]

Did you ever get your powerwall? Review coming soon? Amazing job!

[@DirtyTesla]

Yes and they have already saved me from several power outages twitter.com/DirtyTesla/status/1420047642739068931 I'll have a video eventually!

[@carolynzielinski9316]

Hey Chris, these look great and I like the flexibility. I’ve gone through 2 sets of the molded ones already. Are these available for the M3 do you know? I tried your links but couldn’t find it. Thanks.

[@DirtyTesla]

Yeah here they are for the Model 3 www.rallyarmor.com/index.php/rally-mud-flaps-2017-tesla-model-c-60_305 I think the installation process might be a bit different so double check that.

[@carolynzielinski9316]

@@DirtyTesla thanks Chris. Might be more than I can handle. Lol!

[@hannahzr]

Can you do a video on the fsd subscription? Was interested in hearing your thoughts on it, I’ve seen a few other videos that I thought had some good points.

[@DirtyTesla]

Sure

[@hannahzr]

@@DirtyTesla thanks

[@williambradshaw1874]

I have the 2022 Model X and it kicks up a lot of mud. Unfortunately I cannot find anyone that sells mud flaps for the 2022 Model X. Does anyone have a solution?

[@ryankellerrealtor]

Where is link to electric screwdriver?

[@kevinlock8184]

As you owned both a 3 and Y, could you do a video comparing the two from an ownership and driving experience?

[@DirtyTesla]

Yes this will be coming but I have one more Beta 9 video coming, then I 9.1 will be out... but this is in the plans and I will have my wife's thoughts as well.

[@kevinlock8184]

@@DirtyTesla Thanks a lot, I'm looking forward to it and thanks for your great work on this channel!

[@RealNameNeverUsed]

I hope it gets dirty quickly because I’m not digging into that gloss.

[@DirtyTesla]

Good point. Matte would look better

[@ClintonWeiss]

and I just bought that screwdriver

[@sasukesuite1]

BTW you can get those pop rivets (at 3:53) online for dirt cheap like the ones here www.amazon.com/KUFUNG-Retainer-Fasteners-Popular-Chrysler/dp/B08FMGTRH3/ or they also look like the same ones Toyota/Lexus makes. They sell the individually cheap in store but it's way less expensive to buy them in bulk if you need more than 1.

[@brianklaus2468]

Gonna change the channel name to “slightly less Dirty Tesla”?

[@Wankidy]

Who are those paying $180 for mud flaps? Do they come with a box of chocolates?

[@okhera1]

VERY NICE!

[@1plav726]

Wouldn’t I just be able to use the Tesla oem clips instead of the screw, washer and expansion anchor? The screw can rust and fall out causing a flat tire. Or would I be able to insert the white anchors given by Rally Armor and then the Tesla oem clips behind those ?

[@DirtyTesla]

It's pretty common to use screws for mud flaps. Still running these at 30k miles with no problems

[@1plav726]

@@DirtyTesla Do you think I can use the black OEM clips from Tesla? The ones that came with the vehicle? I have a MYP. Also, have your flaps permanently bent out of shape or do they still look new. I’m in WI wheee we get huge snow and ice.

[@NicholasHoward]

Ayyyy notification squad

[@Supreme_Lobster]

Does this affect range noticeably?

[@DirtyTesla]

Not noticeably. I'm sure it has some effect.

[@kconfire]

It seems like the mud flap is of decent quality (I know a lot of folks getting rally armor for Subarus, too) but how has it faired for you going over high speed bumps, etc.? Curious if the long mud flap would hit the ground and damage the bumper, too.

[@DirtyTesla]

I still have them on to this day (I'm 36.5k miles) and I'd say they're perfect!

[@kconfire]

@@DirtyTesla Awesome! When you have free time some time in future, would you be able to measure the ground clearance from the bottom of the mud flap to the ground? I am pretty much leaning on the rally armor one but just wanted to know what I'm getting into :D Appreciate the video regardless!

[@DirtyTesla]

@@kconfire can you email me dirtyteslayt at gmail, then I can send it there (and this comment won't get lost/forgotten :P)

[@DirtyTesla]

I got just under 4 inches for the front clearance, and just over 5 inches for the rear clearance

[@kconfire]

@@DirtyTesla Awesome. Thanks for the info! I'm set on Rally Armor then :)

[@thomasbihn]

I was following along until you did the clips. It's hard to see what's going on with them.

[@DirtyTesla]

Sorry about that! You just push the clip onto the flap and plastic of the car so that is gripping them both, once you get the kit in hand it's pretty straight forward.

[@richardkule9384]

Where is the link for the flexible screw driver?

[@DirtyTesla]

It's the link in the pinned comment. It comes with that attachment

[@heydarmussavi]

Didn’t you car come with front mud flap installed from Tesla ?

[@DirtyTesla]

No

[@i235rider]

Jesus, would end up costing me about $300 to get these to the UK For mud flaps, that's a joke

👌

[@mmark300]

The wrap around style flaps can be installed so they won't damage the paint - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqqnoWZrZ8aLbLc I prefer the wrap around look for the model 3...

[@EpicBenjo]

SOCKS 🧦

[@BrianJoslyn]

Nothin' to it!

[@FatsoPilot]

Nice mud flaps but a terrible install system. Either that or they didn’t update it for recent changes to the plastic edging in the wheel well. The bottom clip will NOT go on because if you around the back you can feel something blocking it. The white screw anchors are terrible and spin. Not impressed.

[@DirtyTesla]

Maybe something changed on the Model Y but I didn't have a problem and 2+ years and over 50k miles later mine are still on and doing great

[@gavinpaull1793]

omg you cant be wearing flip flops with sock lolll
