Auto-Fold Mirrors Based on Location

Model Y can automatically fold and unfold the side mirrors based on location, saving you the trouble of manually positioning them every time you need to fold or unfold them in a common location (such as narrow garages, tight parking spaces, and so on).

To set this up, the Model Y must be driving at a low speed (less than 3 mph (5 km/h)) or at a complete stop at the location you want your vehicle to remember. Go to Controls > Quick Controls > Mirrors > Always Fold Mirrors at this Location. The next time your car approaches this saved location, the mirrors will fold and unfold within 25 feet (7.5 meters) of the specified location.

It is possible to integrate auto-folding mirrors with HomeLink. To enable this, press HomeLink > Auto-Fold Mirrors when Nearby.

Caution: If you return to a saved location while driving faster than 3 mph (5 km/h), mirrors may not automatically fold or unfold.

 

Mirror Auto Tilt

When the Model Y is in reverse, both exterior mirrors can automatically bend downward. The mirrors return to their usual (upward) position when you shift back into Drive.

To turn this feature on or off, press Controls > Quick Controls > Mirrors > Mirror Auto Tilt.

 

Mirror Auto Fold

When you exit and lock the Model Y, both exterior mirrors can automatically fold inward. The exterior mirrors automatically unfold when you unlock the Model Y.

To turn this feature on or off, press Controls > Quick Controls > Mirrors > Mirror Auto Fold.
