The real problem is the stupid mirrors can't turn out far enough to be of any use. They just look at the side of the car which is utterly useless.

Mirrors need to be able to jack right out. In my ute I can see 2 lanes over and read the number plate of cars inline with the back of my vehicle.

I have no blind spot because I have my mirrors set correctly.

On my wife's model 3, the mirrors are completely useless unless I want to see how much dust is on the side of her car.

No problem with the mirrors on my Model 3 (2020). I don't even see the side of my car unless I move my head towards the mirror.

The only way that could be possible is if your sitting way too close to the wheel.

I see it a lot with women. They sit with their chest basically touching the wheel.

Ideally you want to sit as far back as possible. Slight bend in your elbow. The further away from the wheel you are the greater the chance you will survive a serious incident.

Well, it's not like I need to actually reach the gas or the brake. How about manufacturers stop making everything designed for an idealized male body instead.

That's a good point.

However you probably find men buy and drive most cars a lot more than women. So they set up the car for the majority customer and the wife just has to make do.

I sit WAYYY far back. Probably too far, but I like to recline.
