Does anyone know of a dual digital and analog rear view mirror that is compatible with the Cybertruck?

The problem is rear view camera is so low resolution and clarity is not as far as a real mirror. I look at my rear mirror like 20% of the time when I drove. 20% left mirror, 20% right mirror, and 40% front windshield. I like to see 360 of my surroundings at all times. Never know when 2 BMWs or 2 Challengers are carving down the freeway racing each other. I also look for cops at all times. I'm so scared to speed in my Cyberbeast because I can't tell if a CHP is behind me or not.

Not what you want to hear, but it's a truck. It's time to learn to use the side mirrors.

Ever driven a U-Haul rental? They have rear-view mirrors, but pretty hard to see through the metal box in the back.

As @TexasRaider indicated, you can turn the rear-view camera on and leave it on the display.

I don't do 0-60 pulls in an U-haul or drive 90mph. The rear view mirror camera is trash. Very bad chromatic aberration too. I can't ID a single car's make and model behind me 60 yards away. Right mirror is convex so hard to see far as well. I can only rely on my left mirror to look very far down, but can't see the cars merging on the freeway. I need to ID every single car coming on the road. Just incase it's CHP going to pace me.

When your only excuses seem to be in the effort to evade the law, no pity here.

I'm also looking into this. The rear camera is crap. It's so poorly cropped, everything looks so far away.

Plus, there's still the issue where the blind spot cameras remove the rear view from the display no matter what settings you have. The only way to keep the rear mirror up full time is to turn off the blind spot cameras.

It's probably going to involve using a second camera, and running the wire the whole length of the truck and into the tailgate. I'm gonna spend some time trying to figure out the least awful way to do it.

I similarly feel that I have much less awareness of what's happening behind/next to my vehicle vs any other car. I fully don't care about "it's a truck though, use the side view only and be happy" nonsense. Yes, it's possible to drive with only the side mirrors. But that doesn't mean people shouldn't want more information available to them.

People can say use your mirrors etc, but I have a digital rear mirror in my tundra and I love it.


This definitely will be an upgrade I’ll be adding even if you can have it on the screen. It would be neat to tap into the existing rear camera.

I just don’t see Tesla ever doing something like this. I understand this is asking about aftermarket. Tesla has gone so hard in some directions (no stalks, cameras vs sensors, etc) and they’ve already offered a first gen solution—the “on screen mirror”. They’ll try to refine that with customization before they pivot on the approach as a whole.

This is the perfect option for a mirror if they end up making it for the Cybertruck

Mirror Vision System
This is promising. My plan is to install something similar but, perhaps, a bit more configurable. That rearview mirror base is the perfect mounting point for a user-configurable infocenter and video monitor. I plan to build mine from scratch but, if my excitement is any indicator, I suspect there will be many, many aftermarket accessories publicly available for purchase or projects on instructables.
