The rear of my R1S collects a lot of dirt. I thought that perhaps they’d be an option.

I didn't really want the mud flaps and have PPF but the amount of debris that gets thrown through the aero holes is significant. I don't have pics but before I added the flaps just on my commute to work and truck looked like I had been off-roading. After adding them way less stuff stuck to doors.

I know they can affect range but I figured after adding 90lb running boards and 40lb bed cover, I've basically lost that game anyhow for all the diff these would make.

Now drive through some mud
Not sure you’re implying that the mudflaps will rip off or that they don’t provide any coverage. This was done with my installed large mudflaps.

Mudflaps came through this unscathed the same could not be said for my passenger fender liner…

Mudflaps are supposed to defer the mud. Your mud appears to be going backwards, so I have no expectations.
