Even the tiny little mud guards for the Model 3s have a noticeable impact on efficiency and range.Will try but I just got the truck so not much of a reference without the mudguards. But I'd be shocked if it affected efficiency at all. The mudguard profile is pretty much even with the tire width.
The airflow around the tires is a particularly important piece of the overall aerodynamics of the vehicle. Any alteration in that area will typically cause efficiency drops.
