Honestly the only time I would fold them is at a drive through carwash..I also have a wide sportscar and it is a 22 and dose not have auto folding mirrors, and it's an Acura.
The garage use case makes sense to me. Not sure about tight parking lots though. If the space is so tight a folding mirror makes a difference, isn't it too tight to open the door after pulling in? Or too tight for the neighboring car to open their door without hitting yours?
I guess I always look for a parking spot where door dings are minimized, but get not everyone has that luxury ... I do enjoy not living in a city anymore...

Folded in mirrors = doors are locked = criminals may bypass your vehicle.

My alfa has them and I park in dense urban areas all the time so it's very nice. I would never use the manual fold mirrors because I would always forget to unfold the passenger one and its not like you can just roll down the window and give it a nudge from the drivers seat, but I like them a lot. Would not buy a car because of it, but the luxury car line is getting very blurry these days.
It's little things, but the floor pedal parking break, the manual fold mirrors, the lack of a 360 camera, the potato resolution backup camera...they all suck in a 100k car.

Once you have remote start you will never buy another vehicle without it. Well that is until most companies want monthly fees to enable that feature. Honda and other brands have been doing that a couple of years now.
So I was looking closely at my window sticker...
EXTERIOR FEATURES
Bi–Function LED Projector Headlamps
20–Inch x 8.0–Inch Fine–Silver Wheels
265/50R20 BSW All–Season LRR Tires

Heated Mirrors with Fold–Away WTF??????
When I read this, I am assuming I have fold-away side mirrors, but I don't! LOL

Common misconception, it means they manually fold. If it was motorized or automatic it would state it that way.So I was looking closely at my window sticker...

I know that guys... I knew that when I purchased it.
I was stating that the window sticker says... Heated Mirrors with Fold–Away
To me and any reasonable person reading this would say... the Heated mirror is obviously electric (heated element via 12V source), as such the fold-away mirror should be electric too. It should read Heated Electric Mirrors with Manual Fold–Away LOL

LOLNo, I disagree. I don't think any reasonable person would assume that just because the mirrors are heated, they are power folding.I know that guys... I knew that when I purchased it.

Especially anyone familiar with the DD.
I think you're missing my point @frictioncircle
We paid a lot of money for these vehicles. And yet the features and equipment they come with are not on par with anything else in that price range.
The fact the the GC has power-folding mirrors is even more of a head scratcher. Just like yellow calipers on a Trackhawk not available on an SRT DD.
They are built (or used to be built) on the same assembly line...smh
Anyway, it's a small thing but if you live and/or park in the city quite often, folding mirrors is a requirement. Otherwise manufacturers wouldn't have made them available, manual or power.

Your choice of words, not mine.
Again, you posted something and I clearly stated I disagree.No issue.. I am wrong, and you are right.
Nothing to do with being right or wrong.
Hey guys new to all this I have a 20/20 radioactive blue RT I love it I'm looking to do some upgrades here shortly I was wondering if anybody could help answer some questions If I wanted to take my truck to the dealer and get the tow and go package is that a possibility??? Also how many piston calipers does my stock RT have on it I would like to upgrade to brembo's as well as slotted and drilled rotors
The "Tow & Go" package is a comprehensive performance package which includes all sorts of things. Some of these things (like brembo brakes) can be added, but many of them (like drive modes, adaptive suspension, etc ..) cannot be added.
You could add the Brembo brake package, the cat back exhaust system, the fender flares, the 295 wheels and tires, and the rear valence (trim piece between the exhaust tips) from the Tow & Go package ... although I think the dealer cost on those things will be quite pricey.
You wouldn't be able to add the Bilstein electronic suspension, the rear electronic limited slip differential, the SRT AWD transfer case, or the drive modes though.
Here is what the Tow & Go package adds at the factory. ... It's basically a full-on SRT 392 vehicle but with the 5.7L hemi instead of the 392 Hemi:
Tow N Go Package $5,990
Delete Spare Tire
Red Brembo® Brakes with SRT® Performance Pads
Quadra–Trac® Active On–Demand 4WD
Electronic Limited–Slip Differential Rear Axle
Sport / Track / Tow / SnowDrive Modes
145–MPH Maximum Speed Calibration
Automatic Headlamp Leveling System
Active Noise–Control System
High Performance Exhaust
Performance–Tuned Steering
High–Performance Suspension
Adaptive Damping Suspension
Run Flat Tires
Pirelli Verde Zero 295/45ZR20 BSW All–Season Tires
And no, the dealer won't add any of it for you. By the way, there isn't a Radioactive Blue. It's called Reactor Blue.

Then you go to one if the many car shops and have one installed and you don't pay the fee.
