Rearview mirror auto deploy speed

Its interesting all the small tweaks that Tesla is making all the time. I have to close my mirrors to back out of my garage. I noticed a month or so that the mirrors started auto-opening when the car hit 20 mph for the first time. With the most recent update they changed the speed to 32 mph. Such a weird thing, wonder what the issue was that came up with them opening at 20 that made them tweak it to a higher speed.
 
There was someone in the UK who was complaining that he had to traverse a very narrow road frequently and wanted the mirrors to be folded while he was on that road, but with the lowered limit they would automatically unfold. I suspect that Tesla decided that 32mph is probably about the max speed that you would want to be going on a road that was so narrow that you would need to fold in the mirrors.

Hi - Just got my MS last week & have the same narrow garage issue. My mirrors unfold when I walk into the garage. How do you get them to stay folded until you reach speed?

I have my car set to fold mirrors when car is locked. I typically get in start to back up with my mirrors unfolded to ensure I am lined up with doorway properly. I then refold my mirrors as I back thru garage doorway. When I start driving forward I no longer have to manually unfold the mirrors, it will do it when I hit 32 mph.
