    And fair enough right back. Sorry it became a tad testy between us. Definitely not my intent! Enjoy your car...I am only 2,000 miles in at this point.

    Same issue here. I have mirrors set to auto fold at my home since I have a garage. However when backing up they should unfold, but they don’t. Definitely needs a software fix.

    I've never understood the rational for folding mirrors geolocated anyhow.
    If it's because you have a tight garage (I do) wouldn't you rather use the mirrors as locators as you drive in, instead of having them fold and using your fenders? I would much rather misjudge and hit a mirror than scrape my fender along the garage entry.
    I don't think any modern garage door is less than 83 inches wide.

    Anybody else seeing the rear camera go blank for a few seconds when the car is in reverse?

    It does come back to life, but annoying to deal with this every time.

    Yeah it seems to be a common complaint with this firmware. Resetting the MCU sorta helps for a time.

    We always have the mirrors on our cars folded when we enter and exit the garage. Our mirrors will definitely hit the garage door frames if we don't. And our house was built in 2014.

    Seems to me that with all the people who need autofold to get into their garages, we need a "poorly constructed garage" thread more than we need auto folding mirrors...

    what?

    How does owning a small garage mean that it's poorly constructed?

    If they would hit driving in, wouldn't they hit driving out as well? Why would you need to have them folded only when driving in?

    Poorly designed, at least.

    Complete rabbit trail, but yes I can't believe all the new houses where either the door is too tight or the length is so short you can't park a small SUV in and close the door because it either doesn't fit or once the door is closed there is literally 0 space to walk to the other side of the vehicle.

    Folding mirrors would make me nervous that someone would hit their fender.

    Yeah, rabbit trail indeed but my general theory is that if your house was built after about 1950 and can't fit a Model 3 in the garage, your architect was a moron.

    Good point for driving in. I was trying to use auto fold for summon. It seems like it doesn’t really matter with or without auto fold when using summon. Either way I have to repeatedly activate summon when pulling into the garage. Pulling out is much simpler.

    They don’t hit when unfolded driving in or out. I just thought, since I use summon, I’d have a little more leeway with the mirrors folded in case the summon veered in either direction. They should unfold when backing up so you can utilize the mirrors, if there’s a curb, as well as the dash cam for backing up. I think I’m just going to turn off location based autofold at my house for now.

    If it's just for Summon, if the car is locked and the mirrors fold, they will not unfold for Summon. Just lock the car before using Summon.

    I absolutely prefer backing out of the garage with the mirrors folded.

    I think they should unfold at the same time the car issues the command to close the garage door.
