Rear window view

[Lupe]

Can somebody do me a favour and take a photo from your eye level at your rear view mirror so I can see what your view through your back window is?

I feel like my seat is too low but I really can't bring myself to raise it any further. Trying to work out if it is just me being picky.

I will take a photo of my view this evening and upload

The rear view is a bit famous for being shitty. I’ve gotten very familiar with the rear view camera button, it helps a lot.

Why don’t you just adjust the mirror ? Different people will have different opinions as to what view they prefer, so I’m not sure why seeing their view is going to help you ?

Don’t need a camera to show you the view out of the rear view mirror....it’s practically nonexistent.

Doesn't work for me. Rear parcel shelf obscures the lower part of the view, and obscures the lights of cars behind me, making the cars appear to be right up my backside, when in fact they aren't.

(This is for Model-3. The MS is better, but it too has a some restricted rear mirror view)

Funny, works fine for me but then I also drive a Lotus Elise EV and Vortex EV with letterbox rear screens.
I remember that Italian driver on the old film Cannonball Run who threw the rear view mirrors away saying that as he will be in front, they are no use!

Wait, are you telling me you can raise the mirror?

mind blown if so

No way to have the rear view camera in a smaller window with the map still visible? You do seem to look out over the top of the back of the car so only see the tips of the cars behind

You can do that in MS / MX, I suppose because of the Portrait layout of screen.
