until your driving speed reaches 50 km/h, or
until you touch Fold again to unfold the
mirrors.
Note: You cannot fold a mirror if your driving
speed exceeds 50 km/h.
Auto-Fold Mirrors Based on Location
Model 3 can automatically fold and unfold the
side mirrors based on location, which saves
you from having to manually position them
each time you need to fold or unfold the
mirrors when at a frequented place (such as
narrow garages, tight parking spaces, etc.).
To set up, Model 3 must be driving at a low
speed (less than 3 mph/5 kph) or stopped at
the location you want your vehicle to
remember. Go toControls > Quick Controls >
Mirrors > Always Fold Mirrors at this Location.
Next time you approach the saved location,
your mirrors will fold and unfold within 25 feet
(7.5 meters) of the specified location.
You can also integrate auto-folding mirrors
with HomeLink (see HomeLink Universal
Transceiver on page 116). To enable, go to
HomeLink > Auto-Fold Mirrors when Nearby.
Caution: Mirrors may not automatically
fold or unfold if you return to a saved
location and are driving faster than 3
mph/5 kph.

If equipped with the premium package, both
exterior mirrors can automatically tilt
downward when Model 3 is shifted into
Reverse. When you shift back into Drive, the

position.

Quick Controls > Mirrors > Mirror Auto Tilt.
Mirror Auto Fold - Premium Package
