I have a set of dimming, heated mirrors if anyone wants them. I replaced them with the Suma tinted mirrors.
Too bad I don’t have my rolls of wrap for the chrome yet. Otherwise I’d have an excuse to take the cover off.Just bear in mind they won't be of much use to new Model 3 owners if the connector isn't there behind the mirror. We need to have someone without auto-dimming mirrors pop the mirror glass off and let us know if the connector is there. There are two connectors - one for heat, and one for auto-dimming.

Hah! You saved me from pulling my own mirrors off. So the dimming connection isn’t here and the mirror is physically different to and wouldn’t work even if there was power.So I picked up my Performance Model 3 about ten days ago and noticed that the rear view mirror refused to dim. I asked a friend who purchased a March 2020 AWD how his dimming worked and he said that his rear view mirror worked but not his side mirrors.
Today I had an appointment for the rear view mirror to be repaired and the guy spent a couple hours at my house trying to figure it out. He told me that for some reason there is no power coming to the rear view mirror so he is going to have to do more research and get back to me. I asked him about the side mirrors possibly not dimming anymore and he said he was not aware of such a change. I asked him about the connectors for the side mirrors and he said he pulled off my door panel and one of the wires related to dimming was not there. His documentation shows premium should have it, and all my mirrors have the premium designation so hes confused. So it sounds like they've changed some things and not shared this with the techs, and in my case possibly the assembly line as something is fishy in my particular car. So at the moment I have zero dimming mirrors and at some point will likely only have one.

@Prolificant - Welcome to the forums and thanks for sharing your service experience. I hope they will at least get your auto-dimming rear view mirror working for you...

How are you determining your rear view mirror isn’t dimming? It only dims at night so I’m not even sure how the tech would be able to troubleshoot it except at that point. And why would he pull off a door panel when it takes 10 seconds to take out the mirror glass?
What is “fishy” about your car? The Model 3 isn’t advertised as having dimming mirrors anymore, and I’m guessing it wasn’t at the time of purchase either.
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.
Like all things Tesla it makes no sense.I have a 02/2020 build LR AWD (Canada) and I have auto-dimming mirrors.
Well, the user's manual does say that the availability of this feature varies by region as well as by build date.I have a 02/2020 build LR AWD (Canada) and I have auto-dimming mirrors.
Heh, based on some threads here I think we should consider ourselves lucky and it’s a non issue once tint is involved. I’m probably getting those convex mirrors anyhow.Today the mobile service tech messaged that they ordered a rear view mirror for my car and stated that it was a January 2020 change to remove auto dimming side mirrors. it seems many of you lucked out even after January but Unfortunately both my and a friends march builds do not have them.

The more I drive the 3, the more I’m convinced it’s designed for someone who is 5’8” or shorter that has a 2 foot neck. Why? If you have to sit far back and are taller, the mirrors don’t look as far out as you would like. And you need a tall neck to deal with that high rear shelf
