Paint Protection Film VS Mud Flaps
Like all Teslas. the Model Y is an incredible piece of machinery and technology. From its long-range battery to included autopilot. this crossover is sure to be an incredibly popular addition to Tesla's lineup. That said. it's not without its flaws. Thankfully. some of these can be easily addressed. With that in mind. here are a few Model Y issues and a few accessories that help fix design and manufacturing flaws.
Paint Protection Film
1.First up on this list of Tesla Model Y issues and how to address them is paint protection film (PPF).
This plastic film acts as a protective barrier around your car. It helps reduce rock chips and scratches and even protects your ride from the sun. Many Tesla owners protect their vehicles with PPF. Cost and coverage range as you can apply partial applications for high impact areas (clear bra. fenders. bumpers…) or a complete Frunk to trunk installation.
2. Why do I need mud flaps on the Model 3 and Model Y?
Next on this list of accessories to address the problems and design flaws of the Model Y are the inconspicuous mud flaps.
It is well known that the paint quality on the Model Y and Model 3 is questionable. so installing a mud flap is a must. Little consideration was given to keeping road debris away from the car. otherwise the paint would not wear properly. Either way. within a few weeks of ownership. you may start to notice wear and debris in the rocker area. After passing through some slush. the wheels raise a lot of debris that all bounces off the lower half of the Model Y. Your new Model Y will soon be looking pretty rough.
Thankfully. Tesery has created a perfect fit for models like the Model Y. With these mud flaps. debris can be kept away from the vehicle. This dramatically reduces the amount of debris.
So the best way to protect your Model Y bodypaint is to install mud flaps.
FAQ
Q1: Do I need to drill holes in the wheel liner to install Tesla Model Y mud flaps?
A1: It can be installed without drilling holes. Use tools to remove the screws from the original car holes and align the mudguard with the original car holes to install.
Q2: Why is it so difficult for the screw to enter the hole when I install Tesla Model Y mud flaps?
A2: This is because the screw installation steps are wrong. The nut should be put into the hole first. then the mud flaps should be installed. and finally the screw should be put into the nut to fix it.
