BASENOR Mud Flaps for Tesla Model 3

BASENOR Model 3 Mud Flaps Review

The same proven design as the Model Y version, custom-fit for the Model 3's narrower wheel arches. If you've noticed rock chips accumulating behind your wheels, mud flaps are the simplest and cheapest prevention available.

Why Model 3 Especially Needs Them

The Model 3 sits low and has relatively narrow wheel arches, which means road debris gets kicked up directly onto the paint behind each wheel with less natural shielding. Over a few years of daily driving, this creates a stippled pattern of tiny paint chips that's immediately visible and expensive to fix professionally ($200-500 for paint correction).

No-Drill Installation

Like the Model Y version, these use existing factory fastener points in the wheel liner — no drilling required. The installation is completely reversible, which matters for lease returns or if you decide to remove them later. Remove the existing fasteners, position the mud flap behind the wheel liner, and replace the fasteners through the flap. All four wheels take about 20 minutes with a basic screwdriver.

Material

The flexible PP plastic handles cold weather without becoming brittle, and it's flexible enough to survive contact with curbs, speed bumps, and steep driveways. The matte black finish is understated and blends with the wheel arch trim.

Ground Clearance Note

The mud flaps extend the wheel arch slightly downward, which can reduce ground clearance by a small amount. For most roads this is unnoticeable, but if you regularly navigate steep driveways or very aggressive speed bumps, be aware of the slight change.

Who Should Buy These

Model 3 owners who drive in areas with gravel, road construction, or winter salt. A $30 accessory that can save hundreds in paint repair — one of the highest return-on-investment accessories available.
