Consumer Description

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.
