Same for me. So happy to see my mirrors dancing during the Model Xmas show last night...then so sad to see them not fold when I triple clicked to lock today.
I have a bit of OCD, so the triple click with the mirrors folding has replaced the sense of calm that used to come from hearing the chirp of locking my old car. So now I break out into cold sweats when I park the Tesla and it’s out of sight.

Called tech support and they said it's a known issue and being investigated. They were able to fix it over the phone in about 30 seconds.
No, it's not better.
If you have single click enabled, then any time you bend over, bump the fob, etc., the car locks and perhaps closes all doors if any are open. That's why that option lasted about two weeks, if I recall.Triple click is the actual close/lock signal. Nothing to do with 'confusing' anything, it's one command.
Edit: Single-click is still *an option* but triple click was added ASAP as people kept closing doors on themselves and others....

yea there are multiple threads on this from last year. Concensus was (as we did) - give up on 'em. Not worth the headache of going back again & again.

I wonder why they thought adding another option would prevent people from accidentally clicking it once. I use just one click even though our SA and DS pointed out we should use triple. I've also found that I accidentally single click a lot.
The point is/was you can disable single click. So that you can't do it by accident. Then you have only double (open) and triple (close).
If you want it to be that way.

Oooh, I didn't realize you could disable it. Thanks for the tip... I'll be doing that.
Definitely seems to be the Christmas Show breaks it! Has anyone with 17.36 seen it work even with the Easter Egg?
A new update load will fix it but this isn't a PC where we can reload a patch as needed (unfortunately sometimes!).

After I called Tesla Tech Support I did the Christmas easter egg again and immediately mirrors stopped folding. Called tech support again and 30 seconds later they're working again.
What do you tell them? I tried calling Tesla support on Friday and the guy had no idea what I was talking about. He just recommended restarting my center console, etc.

I told them I demo'd the Christmas easter egg and the mirrors won't fold... they immediately knew what I was talking about. I did it again at the local car show in Seattle and sent them an email and they fixed it within a few minutes without needing to call.
Meanwhile I'm at the Cincinnati SC (for an unrelated issue) and no one here seems to believe me about the mirror issue lol. I was literally here a few weeks ago for that same issue! Oh Tesla...
