This is my first message in the page, but I have to say that it looks as if no1 of the people caring for the blind spot adjusts their mirrors correctly... The way to adjust them is so that you can still keep looking a bit of the car at the bottom of the mirror... The mirror shouldn't be pointing at the complete left, it should cover so you see what is behind... the OP is actually having the mirror wrongly positioned.
Btw, the blind spot is covered by moving your head (you learn it in every driving school) not by adding more stuff to the car surroundings... What if that mirror (which is actually not OEM falls? you can't drive) would u stop? it's not how it should be
How tall are you?I agree with @AdamVIP, I've tried to adjust the driver side mirror as far as it will go and it's still not far enough.
This is the one I've got, although I bought mine on eBay. Here's a photo of it in my Model 3:Someone recommended last week this side mirror Wide Angle - Rear View - Blind Spot Mirror
I got the AbstractOcean mirrors too because I want something to increase my range of vision. For years I've been setting my mirrors to the farthest out position, enabling me to see the approaching car next to me instead of the rear quarter of my car. But the short narrow mirrors on our M3s don't give a full picture of the car, including the space around it. I placed my mirrors on the lower outside corner, as recommended but don't really see any advantage. I'll try the upper inside corner, like yours. Thanks!I guess I just can't wait for FSD to render my mirrors useless like Tesla intends....
I wasn't happy with the limited size of the factory mirrors. While aerodynamic, they really only provide minimal blind spot visibility. I really like to see both my blind spot and even the next lane when I perform a lane change and I just wasn't getting enough from the OEM mirrors.
I chose the abstract ocean mirrors because they were edgeless (never had that before). I can say I was genuinely impressed by the clarity of these mirrors when I received them. Definitely not cheap plastic. I struggled with the placement of the mirrors because I normally put them on the bottom outside edge of my mirror, but on the Model 3, that would result in seeing lots of the housing in the mirror, limiting the added value. So I temporarily stuck them on my mirror in various locations and settled on what you see in the photo. I decided losing sky was the best comprise... It maximizes the usability of the fisheye view without staring at lots of housing. Between the edgeless design and the clarity of the mirror I really love the final result and don't know how I lived without them. I always use them now.
Hope this helps someone thinking of doing the same.

There are NO blind spots with properly adjusted M3 mirrors except right behind the car. You don't have to move your head either.
I'm 5'10" and I don't think that would be a factor in the SAE procedure which is what I use also.This is definitely untrue for me; the Model 3 does have blind spots -- that is to say, the SAE mirror adjustment procedure does not work for me in a Model 3. That said, it may depend on your seat position, and therefore your height.
If you are interested in replacing the whole mirror with blue convex mirrors, Suma Performance Mirrors are another solution (bottom picture). www.sumaperformance.com

Shoutout to @insaneoctane. I got the blind spot mirrors from Abstract Ocean per your recommendation and they are AMAZING.I guess I just can't wait for FSD to render my mirrors useless like Tesla intends....

Can you show the result display at night in moving traffic?These are an awesome addition, thanks!
I’ll try to get pics for you tomorrow morning when it’s pitch black. I honestly haven’t noticed this happening to me ever.Can you show the result display at night in moving traffic?
From my experience, the hemispheric mirrors are useless at night and concentrate the light,
making the headlights so strong, when a car pass near by, that I had to put my hand to hide the mirror.
