Not sure if this was already listed somewhere under desirable options. Apologies if it was.
I learned almost twenty years ago how much of a safety factor heated mirrors are during some heavy California winter rain storms. I was driving an Acura then, and distinctly remember a night of bad weather freeway driving. But the side mirrors had a button for heating. Cleared them right up and helped immensely in viewing traffic lanes both left and right. Although the heating elements could be triggered automatically by temperature and/or use of windshield wiper, for energy savings reason, maybe it should be a selectable option (auto/manual) plus a button to activate if the manual mode is in effect.
Have them on my Lexus...take them for granted most of the time...they are a definately a nice option to have imo.
Believe it or not I have those on my 2000 Dodge Dakota truck and they are a nice feature to have. Eventhough I part my truck in the garage everynight. I just used the heated feature on a foggy night to clearup the side mirrors.
Most luxury cars have them nowadays and I would expect it on my Model S. It might be part of an option package though.. It was on my truck.

First of all, to be very clear here, my whole purpose of this post is for Tesla to take some action to change their car design for the better. I like what...
