This looks like the right solution... just order the OEM Telsa part for the clear mirrors.

They're great mirrors! The passenger side has less of a wide-angle view. Are they different?
They are the same. The OEM passenger is already a convex mirror (although not as wide as Suma) whereas the OEM driver is not. That might be the reason you noticed the drastic improvement on the driver side, not as much on the passenger side.
not to highjack this thread but any update on this? were you able to get the mirrors and install them without any problems?
Thanks for the question. Once the mirrors are installed/used, we can't sell them. That's the reason for the no return policy once it's used. People who have purchased SUMA mirrors are satisfied with the improved field of vision that reduces blind spot. You can search fro the comments on this forum. If you have more question, please PM me, thank you.
I just installed these mirrors and am very impressed. They were super easy to install (I used a plastic spatula since I don’t have prying tools). The fit is perfect and the blue is way less noticeable than the pictures indicate. The field of view is strikingly expanded. I am sure it will take some getting used to as the images appear very far away.

Not to discourage anybody from buying these mirrors (I’m sure they do help), but 90% of people position their side mirrors incorrectly. Do a search on YouTube on how to correctly adjust your side mirrors to eliminate all blind spots. This is true for ALL cars! If you adjust your side mirrors correctly there’s no blind spots.
I did this before making this purchase. It did not help. One’s hight, seat position and mirror range will have an impact on the efficacy of this method. I simply couldn’t get the mirrors to turn out far enough to relieve my blind spot.

Me also, couldn't get the mirror glass to move our far enough....
I ended up getting the OEM Tesla Euro versions (more expensive than the Suma mind you) to swap from my factory US car mirrors as I wanted to keep the OEM dimming function. However with how much wider the Suma is I'd swap out again if Suma ever offers a version WITH the dimming and ideally without the blue tint.
Either way both are so much nicer than the OEM US versions. Highly recommend. Even with "proper" mirror adjustment as some have mentioned the additional width is helpful. I prefer as wide as possible (Suma); the lack of dimming was just a dealbreaker for me.

Does anyone know if the model 3 mirrors work on the model Y?
I'm trading in my three for a Y tomorrow...

Good to know, and consistent with S vs X. Although it's mind boggling why they'd add a fourth mirror shape to the inventory. Would've been so great if they were all the same.
