If the car is in motion, I want the mirrors to be useful. Especially in parking lots.
Driving at 20mph is unsafe without those mirrors in the correct position.
Actually, if parked nose in, I use those mirrors before backing out.
If they behaved as you suggest I would stop using them all together.
Zythryn, I would like to better understand your use-case. Do you manually fold in your mirrors currently? If so, do you have auto-fold turned on so it would unfold the mirrors immediately when you open the door after manually folding them in? I am trying to understand how you would experience a difference. The only thing I can think of is if you fold in manually and then desire to have the mirror immediately unfold. But if that is the case, why did you manually fold in the mirror?
As Cyclone is suggesting, I think, Zythryn, that you may be misunderstanding what would change.
In your description of wanting to use the mirrors when you back out, the only reason they would be folded in would be if you had manually folded them before parking. If the spot was tight enough that you chose to manually fold the mirrors before parking, isn't it likely that you'd want to keep them folded when backing out? Or, more to the point, wouldn't you want to be able to have the --option-- to, in some situations, unfold them if the situation allows, but leave them folded when it doesn't?
If you did not manually fold the mirrors when parking, and just let the regular auto-fold take care of it, then the regular auto-fold would still take care of it when you back out.
The 25 MPH unfold is only for people who forget to unfold a manual fold. And again, Tesla already has this described in the manual, though I don't believe it is working.

That's a great intermediate solution. It didn't occur to me that turning off auto-fold would also turn off auto-unfold. I will also disable auto-fold and manually fold/unfold.
If Tesla added functionality to temporarily disable auto-unfold after the mirrors have been manually folded, then the auto-fold feature would provide value to me and I would re-enable it.
People in the situation you will be in after making this change are the people I was thinking of that would select the second option in the poll.
I go back and forth between thinking I should do what Cyclone does and you will be doing. I keep leaning towards not making the switch because a) I really want my mirrors folded in parking lots, and fear I'd forget, and b) I'm pretty good about remembering to refold before pulling out of the garage. It's a little bit of a pain, but I do remember. What I am most likely to forget is the unfold after backing out, because I also have to close the garage, and maneuver a bit in my driveway. Switching wouldn't help that, and in fact would make it more likely that I forget to unfold at other times. So I stick with the current set up, and just hope Tesla will implement this suggestion, which I really still believe, in spite of the votes cast in the last category, would actually help a lot of people and change nothing for others.
