    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    We read the emails, looked at EV electric vehicle charging options, and when we picked up the Tesla in downtown Toronto we thought we were ready.

    You have to go through the screen, find “mirrors”, choose left and right and use this ball toggle thingy on the steering wheel to make adjustments.

    For example, in the default setting for when you reverse, the mirrors tilt to the ground so you can’t use them to back up.

    Instead that’s displayed on the top corner of the control screen (just to your right in North America, or your left in Australia).

    On the third day, after consulting a YouTube video, we figured out we were pushing the wrong part of the control screen to open it.

    But for the driver of a low-tech, nine-year-old manual hatchback in Australia, the things this Tesla decided to do on its own were maddening.
