I wish Tesla would allow us to turn off the auto-dimming mirrors especially if there is no cars behind us. It makes the side mirrors useless at night. AFAIK, it turns on/off based on time which means its software controlled and possibly turned off.

Yes. Also control of ALL interior lights. Tried to watch meteor shower in MX at night can’t see out windshield as all the interior lights won’t turn out! Ahhhh. Need a meteor shower mode!
Better yet, let us adjust them to be less dark if possible.
If only they work the way described in the owner's manual. That seems more aspirational that actual.In case anybody hasn't gone through the manual, here's what it says:
Except when in Reverse, the rear view mirror automatically dims in proportion to the level of glare from the headlights of a vehicle behind you.
The driver’s side mirror automatically dims in low lighting conditions (for example, when driving at night or through a tunnel) in proportion to the level of glare from the headlights of a vehicle behind you (except when in Reverse).
Agree with above that full manual control would be best. At least if a pre-selected level of dimming could be chosen from 0 to 100%, that would be best.
No aftermarket tinting.For those who feel the auto-dimming mirrors being too dark, do you have window tint and to what percent?
Yes but the problem was still there without tint. Now it is just a little worse. I only have 35%No aftermarket tinting.

I used to get blinded by them all the time in my cars without auto dimming mirrors and no tint. I mean the way people have illegal and maladjusted headlights or use their high beams you should be getting blinded I would often move my mirrors in, or just hold my hand up to block the light. Still this cars mirrors do not function properly.I got 70% tint the front side windows and 30% the rear side windows and rear window. However, even prior to tinting I thought they were too dark, especially the sides, which is unnecessary. In all the years I've been driving, never once I have I been blinded by my side mirrors. The front side tinting actually didnt have any noticeable effect since I rolled down my windows half way to compare the dimming
What I did was unplug the dimming wire going to the side mirrors and bought a Broadway replacement rear-view mirror. Once Tesla lets us control the dimming, I'll replug them back in.
