The driver side mirror does not got far left or up enough. I am 5'11. I had another Model Y before this without the auto dimming mirrors. Did not have an issue at all with the mirror. Right now the mirrors I cannot see anything on my next lane on driver side. Nearly hit someone already because of this. Not sure if it is mirror assembly or the glass itself. But I imagine most likely something to do with how it is install. I think the mirror's initial setting is not placed correctly so the motor can't go past anywhere. The mirror also doesn't sit flush with the door and trim of the car.
Driver side mirror won't go outward and up enough. I can't see anything in the next lane. Really dangerous for tall people like 6'00".
The driver side mirror cannot be angled left enough to display properly what's on the left side of the vehicle. As such, more than 1/3 of the mirror displays the car itself instead of potential other cars or objects on the rear left (see attached picture). There is a way to angle further the left the mirror if it is angled down. However this leads to a worst situation where we see only the ground next to the vehicle instead of cars or objects on the rear left. This is a recent issue introduced in Model Ys with auto-dimming mirrors only and I believe this will cause accidents if not already if Tesla does not release a fix for this issue.
Tesla added new auto-dimming mirrors if you adjust for a person 5'10" or above the mirrors don't adjust to see the left lane. It points down and to the right. I took delivery of vehicle and made formal complaint to delivery team on 11/27/2020. I went with senior service tech at the service center and all new delivery with these new mirrors do not adjust up and to the left for taller drivers. I have a previous VIN without new auto dimming mirrors and does not have this safety issue. Have discussed with a multitude of owners with new mirrors and it is a very common issue. I have also attached others vehicles with same issue along with mine. . Read more...
