Since these are immediately behind the tires and the tires generate large regions of turbulence, why do you think they will affect the aero? Is this a guess or have you seen tests or modeling to support this?

MUD FLAPS
Has anyone found mud flaps for model x? All of my cars had mud flaps and they prevent dirt spraying on ther side of the car. Thanksteslamotorsclub.com
"In general, mud flaps are infamous for producing drag."
A Google search on the subject will produce a bounty of results, but even small stylish mud flaps have a pretty dramatic effect on a model 3. Door handles and mirrors produce measurable negative effects, mud flaps by contrast are cute little parachutes.

A Model 3 has wheel arches that are tight around the edges of the tires. A Lightning has large vacuous spaces around the tires.
I did a Google search and found nothing on the impact of mud flaps on an F-150's aerodynamics.
