Nov 2017 MS. According to my manual I should manually fold the mirrors by hitting the button between the left adjust and right adjust buttons. However, on my car there’s no button there. I also can’t find it in any of the menus. What am I missing?

Manually Fold Mirror Button Missing?

Can you push the thing between the mirror selectors? I can see the symbol for mirror fold isn't there on it, but it could still be a button? If not, yea, they messed up in a really odd way. Hopefully its a quick and easy fix. Ask Tesla for a year of maintenance of something for your hassle.
Definitely tried that haha. It’s not a button, it’s just hard plastic.

wow, that is strange. Taking my S75 in tomorrow to get the correct headlights installed. Took a while to convince them it has the wrong ones.
I get that they don't want to stop the factory line if they are out of parts, but it seems borderline fraudulent to deliver the car to a buyer and not disclose the substitution and schedule a time to remedy the issue when the parts are available.

It’s obscene. Were you the one where they delivered it without adaptive headlights?

I purchased the car new from the inventory - it is a November 2017 build. The mirrors power fold in and out every time the car locks and unlocks.
The electronic owners manual in my vehicle always has a *Note or something in parentheses whenever it's talking about a non-standard feature.
Regardless, the car has power folding, auto-dimming, heated side mirrors. All these functions work.

So you just bought this car from Tesla, or was it a third party? I was wondering if this was maybe a salvage car and somebody replaced the door/switch with one from an old car...
The car was bought from Tesla's new inventory as a new car directly from Tesla showroom. I just called service and told them that the switch wasn't working but didn't go into detail. Waiting for a call back.
Edit: I think you're confused because of the build date of the car. It's a model that was used as a service loaner with 3,900 miles. However, it was purchased as a new car through their new inventory program.
Edit Edit: OMG. Is it possible the car was involved in an accident and they replaced it with the wrong part??
So, aren't folding mirrors standard? They aren't part of PUP, are they?... I still don't understand on a current (ish) car how the switch is lying around at the factory.
Standard (so, WTF) :

@Joelgjr -- I doubt it was in an accident or whatnot, but you should investigate to be reassured. I think an old part somehow got into the assembly process and no one else noticed (Tesla's award winning Q/A) the entire time (which is even more incredible since its an inventory with mileage)).
I bet robots just put the part in place and Tesla never actually presses the button to fold the mirror during their alleged Q/A checks (they can observe it works as you did when the car automatically does it).
