What owners wrote

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.
