Having previously complained about this issue, I now need to report my worst feared nightmare.
This cost was discovered during my annual service, where I incurred a most unwelcome repair quote! Why? Because of Tesla's revised policy on opening manually folded /closed wing/side mirrors, then the so called 'safety system' automatically opening them above 29 mph!
When driving my Tesla D.85, which is a fast accelerating vehicle along English country lanes & trying to maintain a speed exactly at, or below 30 mph is difficult. But (the so called Tesla 'Safely Expects' have now determined ) my car wing mirrors must now automatically open up again at 30 mph or above!
This is irrespective of the narrowness & condition of the roads, where oncoming vehicles so often are incapable of judging their own vehicle's width, then to make matters worse, often to avoid so many potholes (that we get in Europe,) drive wider venturing onto/into the oncoming lane, thereby causing wing mirrors to impact!
This in my case resulted in me receiving an initial quote of £850.00 or ($1198.84) to repair the driver's mirror! Which after some considerable complaining was reduced. However had the mirrors not unfolded, this accidental damage would have never occurred. This SAFETY POLICY does not work in Europe & in particular in the UK, where our road conditions are very different from the US.
Please Tesla, revise & restore full manual control for us UK owners, to have the ability to control our Tesla's mirrors according to local road conditions.
