Wouldn't it be great for an auto-maker to have this as an option in your build - oh well! Bit gimmicky but also a lot of very useful features - many seem to be remarkably cheap but as fussy as we all are with the aesthetics of our rides suspect a lot of folk would prefer a more factory like integration than hanging these onto existing mirrors - example:
On my 4S there are sensors in the base of the mirror and on the back of the mirror itself. I'm not certain of the purpose of the one on the mirror but the one in the base is the rain sensor for the intermittent wipe feature. There is also a camera above the mirror which is used for the high beam assist and that may or may not be wired in conjunction with the mirror housing.
"Good enough." Is that the standard Porsche owners ascribe to? Good enough did not give us torque vectoring, rear wheel steering, stability control, advanced accident avoidance, adaptive LED headlights, smart keys, tire pressure monitoring, airbags, GPS navigation, or EVs. Good enough is yesterday's technology. It's complacency and a lack of accountability; a stepping stone on the road to obsolescence. I love the Taycan but not to the point where I won't call out its flaws or acknowledge superior technologies. "Good enough" is not good enough for me.
They call the model S bad but when it comes to Porsche its good enough. in that case the model S is also good enough in the handling depatment. no excuses for any car manufacture or product.
The mirrors will be the same across the Taycan range.
this nicely summarizes what are the reasons to get a Porsche (advanced racing tech) and when to avoid it (e.g if the rear visibility is insufficient).
