How did you find out when yours was built? I wouldn't mind knowing that for my car.

to me it looks like yours has the dimming feature (it looks like you have a sticker on top of your glass. That sticker usually turned a bit tinted once it gets to the evening). You defo notice it like 30min before sunset.

it says on your sticker in the doorframe. but you can also just look up your vin.

Sticker tells you month/year, not exact date and time which is what the poster was claiming he knew that was being asked about
You'd have to pay me a hell of a lot more than $300 to give that feature up. It's very, very useful.
Depends if you like being blinded by dbags with poorly-aimed headlights. The removal of this and other good quality-of-life features is why I'm probably not going to buy a Model Y next year. No interest in a worse car just because it has a hatchback.
Actually, they removed the microsuede, and then:
battery fluff
Grocery hooks
Dead pedal cover
some of the ambient lights
frunk liner
homelink
auto dimming side mirrors
and god knows what else
Looks like they are back.

Unfortunately, my Aug build does not have them. It seems as though it was reintroduced sometime in late Aug.

So approximately the last 7 months of the Model 3 production does not have auto dimming mirrors. I wonder if Tesla will offer a free retrofit for those of us that don't have the feature but would like to?
I’m not sure how feasible that would be, not that I would be opposed to it. When I swapped the non-dimming mirrors for Suma, I only noticed the wires for the defroster and nothing else. I’m guessing those are separate?
If you have tinted windows there's really no need for it. I don't care for mine and they still haven't added the auto adjust dimming feature Elon said yes too lol

What is your production date? Mine is early March 2020. I though l read somewhere that the wires for the auto dimming feature were still there after Tesla stopped installing the mirrors for some amount of time.

I thought the auto dimmers were back during the third quarter? Mine was built on the 27th of September. I see the outer lining of it in my car’s side mirrors. Haven’t really paid attention since I’ve hardly ever driven the car during the day.

i think the dimming mirrors are waste of money anyway. In the USA/Australia people have their frontsidewindow tinted anyway and in europe people have proper adjusted headlights and i.e. dont drive around with front foglights on and the road construction doesnt really make them necessary.
It's nice to have on the rear view mirror though.
