Any details on it? Just on/off or will it allow setting a dimming percentage? Control of side-view separate from rear view?
No details yet.

Highly rated at 3-5 reviews each on Amazon?
Any Model 3's have installed pictures?
For those of you who don't want to take your mirror apart, Tesla will be creating a software update for this in the (hopefully near) future.
Are you guessing or do you have actual inside info?
Definitely guessing then.No inside info, just straight from the Tesla Service Center employee I spoke with today.

Heres a picture of the 240mm installed
Is the "Broadway" brand name on the top-left of the mirror printed on a protective film that can be removed? I tried picking at the edge of the mirror to see if there's a film, but didn't notice any as far as I could tell.
Hi Folks,
I was able to remove diming in all 3 mirrors
For rear view mirror, remove the trim piece, then just unplug the one wire going into the rear view (very easily reverse-able):
For side view mirrors, pop the mirror cap off as shown here (remember to turn off the auto fold function):
You will see several wire bundles going into the back of the mirror. 1 fat one controls the mirror tilt. 1 plugs in for folding. 1-2 run to the antennas (pretty cool they are in the mirrors)
*Which leaves 2 skinnier bundles of wire that appear to be wrapped with electrical tape. You'll need to cut back the "electrical tape sheathing" without severing or stripping the wires
Here's my video:**If you find a red and green striped bundle, you hit the jackpot. Cut one of them and you are good to rewrap and close up. If you find two black wires those control the defrost function. Do not cut those or you will join me in the cold mirror experimental club until you solder them back.
I'l recommend a $10 set of these tools to keep your plastic looking good: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L8GHB7O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Great idea! I would have done it except that they don't unplug from what I could easily disassemble. If you can get to the plugs let me know.
Ok, removing the mirror was easier than expected. Just tilt the mirror into the car and pull on the outer side. It pops right off.
The mirrors have never dimmed proportionately to the amount of ambient lighting for me. It's either dimmed or not. As far as I can tell, it's related to when sunset and sunrise occur at the car's location. Putting the car in reverse doesn't undim the mirrors at night.So is it supposed to dim when you're just backing up at night with no headlights behind you? Because mine remained dim even tho I heard it's proportional to lights behind you.
I really don't like this feature.
Plus my mirrors aren't even tinted yet but driving at night is much harder than my Civic Hybrid was. Maybe the sleek window placement is the main culprit.
Based on the owner's manual, that's the intent -- the mirrors should dim to different levels based on lighting conditions. It just isn't implemented (yet). It would be great if they also offered the option for user customization.Can the tint level be software controlled? That would be awesome. Tesla could eventually roll out an update to make the tint level customizable and associate it with profiles. I always assumed, though, that it was a dumb system that couldn't be controlled.
