Am very annoyed with this issue as well. Noticed it right away after the update. Constant folding and unfolding as I enter and leave my garage. I'm going to have to disable mirror autofolding when I get back home. Otherwise I'm looking at a broken mirror altogether. The number of fold unfold cycles had now increased by about 5x from the previous update. How can they release updates without any notes? This is a change that borders on affecting safety. No note warning the driver before he takes off? Lawsuit waiting to happen.

+1 on wanting Tesla to REQUIRE change notes for each release, even if they just describe affected systems. There are no "minor" changes anymore when they zap something thats important to me!

I am also not a fan, I sent Tesla an e-mail requesting it be made a feature that we can change the setting on. In the meantime I have disabled my folding mirrors.
Yep, disabling the auto-fold mirrors is the temporary workaround to this bug.
Maybe we start a petition: Tesla, stay out of my car unless you first tell me what you're planning on doing. Show us the release notes BEFORE we press that "update" button. Give us a "rollback" button if we're not happy with your progress after having tried it. Thank you very much and have a nice day.

Fix the mirrors! Every time I walk into my garage to grab something I have to dodge the mirrors unfolding into me. They should only unfold when I open the door.
Also why does my Bluetooth need to connect when I open the passenger side rear door? Or any door other then the driver side door? Sorry for the tangent but it’s super annoying.

Did you download the new Tesla app by chance?
How have you set the slider options for unlocking "driver door only" or "all doors", and have you selected the new security feature slider for requiring a fob button press to open doors. And what is your setting for "auto-present handles" on or off? ... Tesla doesn't have very good feature interaction integrity and consistency.
Model 3 is going to use BT as a proximity thing for entry.
Maybe they've confused code for Model S and it's trying to use BT for entry verification?
I'm beginning to think everyone needs to actually state all their settings when reporting problems or asking questions on the forum... because ... random different behaviors for different mixes of settings.
Tesla is not doing a good job at user regression testing. By offering a lot of settings, they need to test lots of permutations of settings, and they just don't. It's becoming clear.
I've been slowly "decontenting" my car by shutting off more and more of the nice features because the "auto-" portion doesn't always do what it's supposed to. Soon I'll be reaching for the manual window cranks! ha ha!

My slider option is for all doors... what does hat have to do with Bluetooth connecting when I open the rear passenger door? Nothing.
For starters: I agree with @DHG.
Now to add a tiny bit of clarity... There is no Model 3 vs S entry verification mix-up occurring. The Model S key fob doesn't use Bluetooth; it operates at 315MHz, like most key fobs do. (Yes, the Model X key fob does use BLE, but that's not the case with Model S.) So, the Model S Bluetooth radio isn't active when the MCU is off.
What's happening is way more simple than all of that. When a door opens, it wakes-up the MCU. The MCU controls (among other things) the Bluetooth radio connection. As soon as the MCU wakes-up, just as on a computer, the Bluetooth stack seeks to connect to any paired devices. When it finds the phone, it connects. That simple.
All that being said, as @DHG. mentioned, it drives me nuts when I'm on the phone and just need to get something out of the car and I get transferred to inside of the car. Even more comical (I say sarcastically) is when I walk into the garage on the phone, and summon the car into the driveway. As soon as the car starts up, it hijacks my caller, and kidnaps them in the car while it's driving away from me.

Using the workaround of disabling auto fold function I have discovered that if I manually lock the car by long pressing the top of the fob that the mirrors will still fold about 5 min later and then not unfold untill after driving at 15mph.

Thank you, I tend to forget about that email! I just sent them a message about this and the homelink bug introduced around 2017.36.
I've been having Homelink issues and finally had to reprogram it. Is there a bug I should be reporting?

I would! There is a thread over at HomeLink stopped working - is this widespread? where this is being discussed.
I agree with @Whiteblaze . It's great to discuss these issues here, so that everyone knows what's going on and that their issue isn't isolated. It's best to also inform Tesla, so that they realize how widespread an issue is, so that it gets some priority. I personally believe it's a good idea to also include a link to the discussions on TMC about the issue you are reporting, to further enforce the magnitude.
Thanks, I'll head over there now so we can keep this thread talking about the STUPID mirror fold change.
Can you clarify how ‘long press’ differs from ‘triple-click’? I thought that was the normal ‘close and lock’ sequence (there’s also the single-click option, but many have that disabled so as not to inadvertantly press that while having the fob in their pocket, etc.
Long press is starting summon. Summon folds the mirrors. So starting summon but not actually moving the car is resulting in folded mirrors.
If the case, Interesting is that they behave differently when waking up the car.
Exactly, I knew it was something, never had the chance yet to actually try out Summon on my new X, thanks for jogging my memory!
Have to remember that one, since I have mirrors on non-autofold, not wanting them to move everytime I go near the car. That long press may help the times I forget to fold them in upon parking at home!
