No more auto-dimming mirrors on Model 3?

[BluestarE3]

It would not surprise me at all if auto-dimming mirrors show up as a post-sale upgrade, similar to HomeLink and floor/frunk carpet mats.

Can you post a picture of your mirror glass? Reasonably up close, please!

Is this what you are looking for?

Can you post a picture of yours with auto-dimming enabled for reference?..side mirrors and rear view?

lol, no no. The side mirror! The internal mirror I believe is auto-dimming for everyone, period. It's just the side mirrors that are not as of... sometime in the last few weeks.

My bad, how's this?

If what you're saying is true, I can't tell whether the rear view auto dimming is on or not.

Can you post a screenshot of it being on?

My 1/20 build has them on still (exterior/interior).

Not really. It doesn’t show up in pictures well, and it’s not dark out here yet. Your side mirrors look like indeed they do not have the auto dimming feature. Do you see any outline around the edge of the mirror? A clearer picture of the actual lens would help.

Ahh ok, is this darker outline around the edge what you are referring to?

I see that dark outline on my rear view and side mirrors.

Looks like you do have auto-dimming side mirrors.

lol it’s funny how many threads are on this now. I’ve been contemplating this since I got the car on 3/5. Looks like anything manufactured in February does not have them.

Your pictures are dreadful! It looks like they are auto-dimming. What’s the build date of your car? (look for sticker behind driver’s door when open).

This would make sense. I can't see this feature in my 2020 and thought I was going crazy.

I have it in my 2020. Built in Dec.

 

[Posti101]

My 2020 has them too, although the auto dimming does make it quite dark.

Built before February 2020?

How can I know when it’s built.

 

[IDRVSLO]

It’s on the sticker on the driver side door. Your VIN will be on it.

Says 12/2019 on the top right so December of 2019 but I do have the grey performance rims and my insurance and registration and new car also says 2020 Tesla model 3.

From my polling of members on this forum and on the fb group it breaks down like this:

2020 built in February 2020 or later = no dimming
Anything built before February 2020 = dimming side mirrors

Edited to remove the SR+ reference.

well, unless you have a SR+ or SR as I think those don’t have them anyways.

I have a 2020 SR+ that's built in January 2020, can confirm I have auto dim mirrors.

I stand corrected. Going off what my sister in laws friend who has one and says they don’t dim.

I would much prefer a manual dimming rear view mirror - old school style.

I prefer them also. They work simply, and quite well.
