Where is the Model 3 rearview mirror heating located?

The Model 3 rearview mirror heating is located at the icon on the right side of the air conditioning master switch. Generally, the Model 3 rearview mirror heating and rear windshield defogging are integrated into one button. The Tesla Model 3's exterior design adopts a fully enclosed design, with added gaps at the front hood position for some heat dissipation capability. Below is related information about the Model 3 rearview mirror: 1. For driver convenience, to prevent driving safety accidents and ensure personal safety, rearview mirrors must be installed on the car, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable in direction; 2. Some models have a knob on the driver's side door used to adjust the left and right rearview mirror angles. Turning left adjusts the left mirror, turning right adjusts the right mirror, and when the knob is in the middle position, it activates the rearview mirror heating function automatically; 3. During rain or snow, when the rearview mirror heating switch is pressed, the indicator light on the button will illuminate, and the heating elements will quickly warm up to a fixed temperature within minutes, causing the fog to gradually disappear, thereby heating the mirror and achieving defogging and defrosting effects.

Last time I drove my Model 3 in the rain, the rearview mirrors fogged up and I couldn't find the heating button, which really stressed me out. Later, a friend reminded me to operate it via the car's central touchscreen. Open the climate control menu, and you'll see the rear window heating option—click it, and the mirror heating will automatically activate. This design is quite smart because the car's sensors link it to external conditions, triggering it in low temperatures or high humidity. On winter mornings when you start driving, turning on the rear window heating clears water droplets from the mirrors in under two minutes, significantly improving visibility. It also saves you the hassle of manual adjustments, enhancing safety. If you forget to turn it on, the screen navigation can guide you to the setting. Regularly checking that the feature works properly can help avoid unexpected issues. In short, this function is tucked away in the Climate settings—simple to use and especially handy on rainy or snowy days.

The Model 3's heated mirrors are actually integrated with the smart system, directly accessible via the climate control section on the central touchscreen. When you activate the rear window defroster, the mirrors automatically heat up as well. I particularly love this automated design as it minimizes driver distraction. The system monitors environmental conditions through onboard sensors—automatically activating when temperatures drop below freezing or during rainy conditions. With just a tap on the screen, the heating elements engage to prevent mirror icing or fogging. I've found this feature crucial for daily commutes, especially during highway driving where it quickly clears rainwater to reduce accident risks. If you've modified the system, settings might vary slightly, but the factory defaults are highly reliable. During routine maintenance, remember to check for wiring wear to ensure consistent functionality. In practice, this feature is neatly tucked within the Climate menu—intuitive to operate and packed with tech-savvy appeal.

When driving my Model 3, I often use the rearview mirror heating function, which is located on the central touchscreen. Go to the Climate settings, find the rear window heating button and turn it on – it activates simultaneously. The operation is very simple, and even beginners can master it after trying a few times. Especially during foggy seasons, one click clears the condensation, making driving more reassuring. It also eliminates extra steps as it's built into the system.

New owners might find it hard to locate, but it's actually in the Model 3's touchscreen climate controls. When rear window heating is activated, the side mirrors automatically follow. This feature is very user-friendly—just turn it on during rain or snow, and visibility improves immediately. It's recommended to make it a habit during daily driving by setting it up on the screen first. No need to worry about overheating; it has temperature protection.
