Ditto on my March 2018 build. I'd be disappointed if Tesla removed the auto dimming side mirrors on the Y.My April 2018 build LR RWD Model 3 has auto dimming side mirrors.

Unless you need the extra height and seating comfort.. for people with injuries or bad knees, SUV's are a god send and almost requirement. I know I can't drive more then an hour in a normal car without my knee issues flaring up. I would have loved a Model 3.. but I could never get a comfortable seating position.. hence the Model Y Also bending over to put kids in a car is a pain as well, especially for tall people, having taller cars is also very much needed for some people. So I would never call the Model X or for that matter the Y useless...
I went ahead and bought one from Tesla, since they will install it. I'm a butterfingers! I've had a Homelink button on my rear view mirror too long to do away with it, never mind the auto-opening the Tesla setup gives you!
Or both.Looking at a couple posts above, maybe they got more complaints than compliments on the auto-dimming side mirrors. Or, it was $$$! ;-)
Do other brands have a better solution for this problem?

My Audi Q5 has a loop instead of a pole that protrudes a lot less into the opening between seats. Overall, I don't really mind the Model Y's pole. I had this Audi for about a year and a half before I even discovered the middle could be put down independent from the sides.

Right, but doesn't the car come with the hooks already in place for that cargo cover?It was funny when folks were marveling over the 40/20/40 seat (granted, any news about the Y was basically multiplied by 10 given how starved we all were for new info). It was a feature my 4Runner has had since its 2010 redesign -- we're talking about the polar opposite in terms of state-of-the-art technology vs. the Tesla.
I took a look -- it has the same post sticking out, so to answer the question, Toyota doesn't have a better solution, at least not in the 4Runner. Also, at the bottom of the photo, you can see my cargo cover...not standard, but sold by Toyota as an OEM accessory.

The issues that I'm aware of with the auto-dimming side mirrors could be fixed with software updates. Even having a manual override would be enough. I love having them for the most part, but there are times when I don't need them on.Looking at a couple posts above, maybe they got more complaints than compliments on the auto-dimming side mirrors.

The rear view does, but apparently not the sides.Page 55 of MY manual. Looks like it does dim.
Rear View Mirror
The rear view mirror is adjusted manually. When in the Drive or Neutral gear, the rear view mirror automatically dims in low lighting conditions (for example, when driving at night or through a tunnel).
I don’t see dimming side mirrors in M3 manual either, it’s the same in YThe rear view does, but apparently not the sides.
