Does anyone who has these installed see an obviously quantifiable range difference?
Seems like it should have an impact. Just curious how much.

The mirrors really don’t weigh very much so I can’t see it making much range difference. I just really like the way the CT looks with no mirrors! Like it was originally designed.

It’s not their weight but their drag that influences range. It should have a measurable effect though in the realm of -2pct or so. (Speed dependent of course)

I've been running without mirrors for some time now, so I may not be a good source. With FSD running most of the time on road-trips I average sub 400 wh/m, typically 380. Hope that helps, no other draggy mods to truck, yet.

These look good and seem like they are well built.

I remember seeing similar plugs in the glove box during the initial delivery event of the CT. I'm guessing they were only made for the initial buyers or Tesla decided to let third parties build and sell them.

Any reduction in noise from removing the mirrors? Maybe too negligible to differentiate, but just wondering.

I ordered a set today using your code. How’s it been like driving without the side mirrors?
Great! It takes a minute to get used to! After a couple weeks I don’t even notice that they are missing. You get used to looking at the screen when changing lanes.

Not weight, aerodynamics.

Wouldn't expect much of a difference, the shape isn't bad in that regard.

Not a mod fan for cosmetics or unless the practical gains clearly outweigh the maintenance complications.

Even with a good compact multiview (rear and both sides) display, IMO mirrors are a useful redundancy (fender cams can get snow or mud blocking them), not to mention that state laws requiring them vary, so depending on where one travels, removing them may not be an awesome idea.

Awesome! I’ve been trying to pretend like they’re not there so I can prepare myself to remove them. I think the CT does a really good job between the cameras and FSD visualization that you can drive comfortably without them.
