Been 6 months since this post. What say you?
WTH... just got a M3P and my side mirrors don't glare at all... is there a setting for this?
No longer a feature No more auto-dimming mirrors on Model 3?
I guess they were too expensive for a feature that wasn't very appreciated.
Oh they're appreciated. This is a standard feature on mid range European brands like BMW/MBZ/Audi so for many of us converts (bc who wasn't a convert from another brand), removal of a basic feature like this just cheapens the brand. Maybe if they had programmed the mirrors to dim properly or added optional sensitivity adjustments, people would have loved it. Removal is just Tesla cutting costs.
it is one of my least liked parts if my model 3. So, not everyone appreciates it.
Like I said, it's because the way they behave is not typical of how autodimming mirrors act like on European cars, where it is seamless and convenient. But I guess if you're coming from cars that didn't have the feature then you wouldn't be able to appreciate them since they don't work right on the TM3, which work like they are on an on and off switch. On my BMW M3 they variably dim based on how bright the source is even when it is dark and I have tint, they only dim strongly if there is like a truck behind me with their high beams on. Once the source of light goes away, the dimming is turned off.
But what is really the bigger issue is Tesla is doing something I've never seen any other premium manufacture do, which is remove hardware features as the car matures. It's usually the other way around, features get added. Don't start with the software updates. That is great and all, but they shouldn't be removing or deleting hardware. First it was the LED door pocket lights, then frunk hooks, then frunk mat, then dead pedal, and now the autodimming side mirrors. What's next, seatbelts, door seals, interior carpets, footwell lights, and paint? They need to stop with the cost cutting, it really cheapens the car and brand.
This is why I'm not planning on buying a new Model 3 if I end up upgrading to a performance. I refuse to pay more for less features. Instead, I will find a lightly used 2019 model with all the features present.Like I said, it's because the way they behave is not typical of how autodimming mirrors act like on European cars, where it is seamless and convenient.

Your car will have the dimming mirrors. I’ve only had my M3 for a week. They are just absolutely way too dark for my likingSo wait? New cars don’t have auto dimming mirrors?
If I had a choice of level 1 through 10 on opaqueness, it will be a different story. But mine are just way too dark and I haven’t even tinted the windows.They removed the dimming feature for a year or so, and put it back.
I for one, cannot live without dimming mirrors.
