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.
