If a third of your mirror image is your car; you are adjusting the mirrors wrong. You need to mirrors to see other cars, not your car.

Please post a detailed video analysis. I need some entertainment, having exhausted all the videos in my Netflix and Prime accounts during the holidays..

try swapping noun and verb and enclose the whole thing in parens.

Yes. I have my mirrors adjusted far away, actually. That eliminates the blind spots, in my experience.
Ive tried to get the mirrors to be that way for my wife’s profile, but of course, she hates that, and has them showing a bit of the car.
Good thing there are driver profiles.Y’all are too much. Probably part of next door website as well. 
It’s not unsafe. If you can’t handle it, you clearly aren’t competent enough to drive or you’re driving to Effin fast for conditions.

Thanks for the link! Gave it a read in hopes of learning more since yesterday. The title makes is sound like they got some additional information from Elon, but it appears the entire article is just an extrapolation on Musk’s one line tweet “Many UI improvements coming”.
Sounds like a good way to start rumorsHalf of Teslarati articles are just extrapolations/ramblings of a single tweet.
Yes I agree (I was noting that the ordering was wrong, not the total sequence). In fact, I check ALL my mirrors, then signal, then check AGAIN, including, if necessary, a glance over shoulder to check blind spot. .. which I can now do rather more comfortably and safely thanks to the blind spot cameras
Perhaps you need to tell the difference between a harmless humorous post and a sarcastic one?
Not really. But when there is driving safety concern (destruction from driving) - I would think thrice. Cell phone use is an offence. But trying not to get toasted by seat heating or blown away with HVAC - takes quite an efforts on searching what to do on the [safe] screen. Instead of long gone and non-cool physical controls. And government regulations might be involved to some cool decisions, made on a scrum meeting at 8 in the mourning.
I think that part of the confusion about the defroster is the difference between defrosting (removing ice/frost on the outside of the windshield) and defogging (removing fog from the inside of the windshield). I live in Central California; I don't have a defrosting problem but I definitely have a defogging problem in the winter. The whole window can fog-up in a matter of seconds while driving depending on conditions (going from clear to foggy in seconds after several minutes of driving). And since it is on the inside, the windshield wipers don't help. So I need 1-press to activate massively hot defogging.
One thing that I have hated about all of my previous cars (1977 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1992 Pontiac Bonneville, 2006 Infiniti M35) is that I couldn't heat the windshield without heating the passenger compartment also. Duh... With my Tesla Model Y, there is the potential to actually do this. So once this feature works and is 1-touch, then I'll be extremely happy.
And I think my last point is valid for all of us: there are features that we as individuals care passionately about and others that we as individuals can totally ignore. So at some point, Tesla will probably enable us to put the buttons that we want at the bottom of the screen. Unlike all other vehicles, Tesla's reliance solely on a totally programmable interface (touch screen) allows for this and is unique in the automotive industry.
So I'm very excited about the possibility that V11 could enable, and am just awaiting the activation.

I live in SoCal, so needing defrosting or defogging is extremely rare. For those that use defogging, suggest you try the voice command to see if that will turn it on with one push: "Enable front defroster." Good luck.
Yes; most of the time the blind spot view can be helpful. Other times, as when at a traffic light, you may want to turn off the blind spot view.
