No more auto-dimming mirrors on Model 3?

[WilliamG]

Another cost-cutting move, it would appear. The interior of all Model 3 no longer states auto-dimming for the mirrors.

Tesla seem keen to keep removing features one by one.

Interesting. Does the Y have it ?

No, same as the 3 - they removed all mentions of auto-dimming mirrors from the site.

 

[MMcKay]

They do still mention the rear view mirror dims in the Model 3 & Y Owners Manual:

Rear View Mirror

The rear view mirror is adjusted manually. When in the Drive or Neutral gear, the rear view mirror automatically dims in low lighting conditions (for example, when driving at night or through a tunnel).

Their software team would disagree with this assertion.

Har har. You knew what I meant.

I replaced mine with the Suma blue tint wide angle mirrors and couldn't be happier... It made all the difference in the world from multiple perspectives.

In fact, if someone wants to buy my old dimming/heated mirrors, make me an offer...

I would be happy if the got rid of the side dimming mirrors. They are too dark at night with window tint.

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

 

[MrBadger]

I wish they would make it a software option for those of us with side dimming mirrors.

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

Same here. They are too dark even without window tint.

If they did discontinue the dimming mirrors in newer cars, that doesn't bode well for us ever seeing a software option to engage dimming manually. There's less incentive for them to develop this option just for the older fleet when new cars henceforth won't even have the dimming capability.

S/X retain auto-dimming side mirrors.

S/X retain auto-dimming side mirrors.

Do the S/X have a manual override of auto-dimming for the side mirrors?

I picked up my 3 last weekend and only the I terior rear view mirror is dimming. Side mirrors are not. Very sad truck lights are so bright!

Another case of, be careful what you wish for. There have been several threads dumping on auto dimming side mirrors saying they wish we didn't have them. It appears they got their wish.

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

I have them. I just wish we had more control over them. They're great, but sometimes we need a bit more control over things than we have.

I mean what's next? No more auto-wipers?

Me also - another happy Suma Performance mirror owner here !!
