Side Mirrors not returning to proper position after Easy Entry

Model 3P
Software 8 & 9

When the car exits out of Easy Entry and back into the previous driver's profile, everything adjust correctly (steering wheel, seats etc), except the side view mirrors. They stay in the East Entry position (facing down, such as when going in reverse). If I manually press the driver profile again, then it adjusts the side mirrors correctly.

I have tried deleting the driver profile and creating new ones, and even trying to change the Easy Entry profile to match the side mirrors with that of the primary driver - neither worked.

I mentioned this to the Service Center in Costa Mesa, CA and the Tesla Store in Mission Viejo in CA and they had experienced the same in the M3 and MX, but had no answer to the problem.

This occured in both software 8 & 9.

Anyone experience the same and/or have a fix?

Yeah, I've had that happen, intermittently too, so there didn't seem to be a pattern. My simple fix was just to turn off the automatic mirror fold on Reverse. I didn't like it anyway. The problem with these kinds of issues is that they are so hard to diagnose unless it's really obvious, and I didn't think it was worth Tesla's money to put new mirrors on the car, when it just might be a software problem. So now my mirrors are set the way I like them, and they stay there.

My passenger side mirror tilts down when the steering wheel retracts in easy entry mode. Then sometimes it does not return to original position. Milford CT service center has calibrated twice, then changed out entire mirror assembly. Same issue. It does this whether auto tilt and auto fold are both or one on or off. I have been through about 4 software revisions, on V9 now.
Very annoying....

Same here, with not returning to the correct position after entry. Switching to another profile then immediately back the mirror returns to the correct position. Kind of annoying. Not enough to be a problem, I treat it as one of those Tesla quirks I'll live with that will probably eventually get fixed.

So my issue is similar to the OP, but with the steering wheel staying in the last position instead of the mirrors. In Easy Entry I have the wheel all the way IN and UP, under my profile I save it as OUT and MIDDLE, but switching between the two moves everything but the wheel.

From V8 to V9 software nothing really improved the issue for me.

I've deleted profiles and easy entry settings with no luck.... kinda annoying and strange.

Ever solve your issue @mptpro ?

Personally I don't think it's hardware as my mirror assembly has been replaced twice now.
100% agree, it's got to be a software bug... My steering wheel otherwise works perfectly, for some reasons the settings just don't save to the profiles/easy entry correctly. :confused:

I'm having this problem too, and reported it. They told me to reboot and try again. There was no change after doing that.

I found that when I turned on Auto-tilt mirrors, it still happens but I care less because after I back up and put it into Drive, the mirrors return to the proper setting for my driver profile. So I'm not sure what to do about it.

I'm having the exact same issue with my driver side mirror. I'd get in and when it switched to my profile, the mirror moved but not to its proper position. If I manually recalled my profile, the mirror move and finally reached its final position. This, to me, indicates the issue is software and not hardware.

In the interim, I deleted Easy Entry and re-created it based on my profile so the mirrors don't move (just the wheel and seat.) I also turned off the mirror tilting on reverse. It's unfortunate to have to do this but readjusting every time was very frustrating!
