In my car, the mirror controls are on the door, close to my left hand. It’s a d-pad with an additional switch to choose which mirror. Adjusting the mirror can be done without looking. Only an occasional glance to verify.

The automatic wipers do not working properly. It’s widely reported everywhere and I experienced myself.

The point is design vs execution. Tesla's goal isn't to put critical controls and displays in an inconvenient or unsafe location; it's to make fewer controls and displays critical, so that drivers can focus on driving.

It's a valid criticism that their execution hasn't completely achieved the goal. But if you think the goal is wrong, then yeah, that's a great reason to avoid Teslas, because they're going to keep removing more and more controls and readouts as they automate them or make them irrelevant.

Adjusting mirrors while in steady highway traffic is the best way to tune out the blind spots.

It's the people who don't know to do this who merge into you because their mirrors aren't adjusted properly making you invisible to them.

Maybe I'm paranoid about distractions, but my method is to ask one of my kids to walk in a circle around my car while it's parked in the driveway. I'll adjust my mirrors so that the kid is continuously visible, either directly or in a mirror.

This is impractical in cars that don't save driver profiles.
