Reviving this thread. I'm on the automatic payment plan right now for premium connectivity. How do I stop that and pay up for premium connectivity with referral credits? What are the steps?

That's good. My car is able to exhibit that behavior, too. However, on my 2020 MS LR, there are two settings that control the mirrors: auto-fold and fold-at-this-location. When I turn on only fold-at-this-location, it works as you describe (good). If I add the auto-fold setting, which folds the...

Oh yeah The software that controls the mirror auto-folding and location auto-folding is buggy, resultling in the erratic behavior you describe. I've been reporting this to Tesla to be repaired (under warranty!), but no dice. When it comes to broken software, they don't have time for that...

I took your suggestion. I put a bunch of heavy stuff on the seat (and leaned stuff on the seat back), but the car would not stay "on" and have the wipers run. I suppose this approach could work, but it's not practical to find enough weight to fool the car. Thanks, anyway! (You can put that rock...

Yup. This is why I asked how this would be done with one person.

Yup. This is why I asked for having the wipers operating at high speed, not parked.

I want to troubleshoot a windshield wiper that is "wobbly" when running on the high speed. If I get out of the car, the wipers stop wiping (immediately, or after a few strokes). Is there a way for one person to have the wipers running when not sitting inside the car? Perhaps some special...

Here's something that just appeared on a new thread. It looks like you're on the right track: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/auto-fold-mirror-problem.317422/

I hope this works for you. The user interfaces vary greatly across the models. (That's why I specified mine when posting the images.) (The Location button you mention is not the only ephemeral message. I'm often frustrated by messages that disappear before I can read them. It would be nice to...

Were you successful? Be sure to let us know how you were able to solve the problem. Other Model Y owners might benefit. (…and I'm curious.)

Try this. (It's the view on my 2020 MSLR.) Park in your mirror-folding location. On the Controls page, tap the X button next to Auto-Fold Set at This Location.

Note that there are TWO settings that control the mirror folding. Vehicle > Mirror Auto-Fold and Controls > Auto-Fold Set at This Location Examine both locations. Check your manual. Search for "fold" or "auto-fold." Let us know what you find!

If your vehicle is using Ultrasonic Sensors (USS), you might have a faulty USS. Or it may be interacting poorly with the new version of the software. You might want to test your USS system by parking directly in front of a flat wall. Does the proximity display look uniform as it should? Here's...

Hmmm. (It isn't working as designed.) If you suspect that it is working as designed, then that means that some Tesla software developer designed each feature to work correctly, and then intentionally designed the mirrors to randomly open and close when both features are activated. That doesn't...

Agreed. The manual says (and it makes sense) that the mirrors should unfold when you're driving away (safety!). Because they don't, that's a defect to be repaired by Tesla. I hope they fix this for you! (My car does not exhibit this problem.) Still, the mirror problem I described is real and it...

This is a known defect in Tesla software. With both features turned on, the mirrors should not unfold when you're backing out of the garage. Tesla has acknowledged the defect in my service reports. (Well, only after a year of claiming "it's supposed to work that way.") This defect is covered...

I don't need to back into a narrow garage/carport, so I don't have this problem. However, I can think of a suggestion. Back halfway in with perfect alignment, then mark the floor/ground to match up with the parking lines you see in your reverse camera display. When backing into your carport in...

Yes, those symptoms indicate a software bug. I have not encountered that issue only because my manual does not show that as a feature of my 2020 Model S (pre-refresh).. The bad news: i've reported three separate software bugs (including a defect in the mirror software), and Telsa refuses the...

I was unaware that it used to work. That's useful information: it used to work, then Tesla broke it, and now they won't repair it. That's the same story for sharing-a-contact-from-your-phone. It used to be that I could open a contact with an address on my phone, use the ubiquitous SHARE button...

Yes, upon re-entering the car, the streaming-service-du-jour is displayed instead of where your USB music player was when you left. I've seen this display with either a request to log in to the streaming service or a QR code for signing up. My opinion: this is an advertisement for the streaming...

That's a good review. For an additional option, check out my post over here: Eclipse Sunshade Post

I don't think HomeLink is necessary for the mirror folding feature. Note that there are TWO settings that control the mirror folding. (This is for my 2020 Model S, your software may differ.) Vehicle > Mirror Auto-Fold and Controls > Auto-Fold Set at This Location Check your manual to see if...

I've been reporting this very issue repeatedly to Tesla for over a year. It's a software issue, not a hardware issue. The service center people claim that the issue is "on the list" to be fixed, but their software developers are too busy with safety related issues. (Sounds legit, like, why...

When I received my 2020 Model S, there was a car wash mode. Sometime later after a software update, the car wash mode was removed. There was nothing about this feature deletion in the software release notes. (I spent 10-12 minutes at a car wash looking for it and looking foolish.)

Wow. A lot of posting here since I last posted a few weeks ago. Here's an update. I'm now on FSD Beta v11.3.6 (2022.45.15). The "left turn only lane fetish" has disappeared on the few places that I've been able to re-test so far. That's good, but it took them over a year of reports to get around...

Have you tried getting guidance from a tech or representative at Tesla Service? (I just got a Model Y as a loaner. I didn't see the same settings that I've always had in my Model S and described in my Owner's Manual. I betcha this location-based mirror folding is available only on MS and MX...

Ah. I just got a Model Y as a loaner. I didn't see the same settings that I've always had in my Model S (and is also described in my Owner's Manual). I betcha this location-based mirror folding is available only on MS and MX, not M3 or MY.

Not only isn't there a way to make software feature requests, there's seems to be no way to get Tesla to repair software defects (these are covered under the warranty). I've reported three separate software defects. Not a single one has been repaired. (One is still broken after after three...

Ugh. That's frustrating. I hope (a) it's convenient for you to bring it to a Tesla Service Center for them to reset it (or show you how to reset it); or (b) someone on teslamotorsclub has the answer. Definitely tell us how you resolve it.

I feel your pain. There are so many options (and no search-for-option ability like on iPhone and iPad settings). Once again, tap to access Controls > Auto-Fold Set at This Location As pointed out, it's pretty certain that you have to be at the work location. I suppose you have to be in the...

You can log into your Tesla account, then download your owner's manual as a PDF. Open the PDF and use the "find" or "search" function on "auto-fold". That's the way I find stuff in the manual. You might need to search on a more general string like "mirror".

Note that there are TWO settings that control the mirror folding. Vehicle > Mirror Auto-Fold and Controls > Auto-Fold Set at This Location Check your manual to see if there's any special differences for Model Y. I think what you need to reset is the checkbox that appears on Controls >...

Not sure I can offer any help, but could you explain how the mirrors behave in response to your inputs? What do the mirrors do immediately after choosing your backup profile? If they move into the desired position, how long do they remain that way? Is there some event (passage of time, shifting...

The purpose of Controls > Auto-Fold Set at This Location is for getting through tight spaces. If you want your mirrors to remain open when backing into your garage but then fold after you're inside, then this feature is not designed for that. The assumption is that you're moving (forward or...

That doesn't sound like the right fix. For me, the problem is that instead of following the correct map instructions to go straight through an intersection, my car will shift into the left-turn-only lane and then go straight through the intersection illegally from the left-turn-only lane. #4...

I'm going to recommend the Eclipse Sun Shade. Windshield Sun Shade | Custom Retractable Car Sun Shade I've been buying them for my cars and giving them as gifts for a few decades now. They are easy to deploy and stow. Follow the link for details on how they work.

Also: the metallic coating is there for reflecting infrared heat. Metallized Windshield: What is it, and What is its Purpose? - Glass.com

Here's the bit from the owner's manual for my 2020 Model S, which gives the reason for a special location: Search your 2023 manual for "transponder" or "RFID" to see if it explains the reasoning for its lower-right mounting location.

Yikes. That's a lot of symptoms. My advice: (1) Keep in the back of your mind that there may be more than just a single malfunction causing all of these weird behaviors. (2) Tesla should be able to remotely diagnose problems like temperature sensors. (A temperature sensor problem in my car...

Question for you all: Do your mirrors remain folded when you unlock your car at the set location when both mirror settings are on? (See below for mirror settings.) Note that there are TWO settings that control the mirror folding. Vehicle > Mirror Auto-Fold and Controls > Auto-Fold Set at...

Note that there are TWO settings that control the mirror folding. Vehicle > Mirror Auto-Fold and Controls > Auto-Fold Set at This Location These settings work correct when (a) they are both off; (b) only Vehicle > Mirror Auto-Fold is on; and (c) when only Controls > Auto-Fold Set at This...

Check for an update on the mirror issue and Tesla Service on this thread.

UPDATE: Got a push notification on the Tesla app this morning. The service appointment was closed out even though the mirror problem was not repaired (and three other problems were also ignored). The message said this: I'm not accepting this. I've proven to them in writing and in person that...

UPDATE: After more than a week at Tesla Service, the issue is not repaired. The mirrors still behave in a random fashion when unlocking the car at the location where the mirrors are supposed to remain folded. Have you tried turning on the Auto-fold at Location and turning off Mirror Auto-fold...

I've just joined TMC, and I see many people are experiencing the same issues with the mirrors. It's also being covered on this thread. Over there, I'm reporting on how Tesla service has been handling it and how it is handling it right now. Short version: In my determination, it's clearly a...

Thanks for the bounty of additional information! My car is still in service for this issue right now. In fact, I just received a call from the lead technician. I get the impression that this is being taken more seriously than Tesla service did at another location back in December of 2021...

I have this same issue. Here's a deep dive that might be useful to you. At the end, I'm going to suggest how to approach Tesla Service to get this fixed. I have reported this (and all of the following research) to Tesla for a repair. It's been a year since then, and they haven't fixed it as of...
