What. Isn't it just tilting down the mirror on one side so you can see the curb when parking, like other cars do?
Yeah.... this is also an option you can choose based on what you prefer. Not to 'force' you to do anything
My 2002 Statesman does that. That was probably pretty high tech for a Holden back then, but surely not hard to figure out by today's standards.
It always feels a bit weird getting in a new hire car for the first day and learning where everything is, but if the author spent a month driving this thing, you think they would have worked a few things out by then.
Also, one should not rely on side mirrors to back up unless you're driving a car with no rear camera and no visibility out the back.
My car is also 9 years old and doesn't do this. I can see how he'd assume the mirror did that to force you to use the screen, because it's the sort of jerk move Elon would do and I wouldn't know why else it was doing it.
Always assume good intentions first
That's usually good advice, but I'm not really sure it applies where Musk is concerned.
I think even then, the actual important issues get drowned if everyone gets out their guillotine on every bait headline.
