Does 360 camera view work with mirrors folded

[maximumpanda]

I live in London and am preparing to take delivery of my turbo s
The lift for my building's garage is a scary small tolerance (2.3m wide vs the taycan's 2.1m mirror width), so I was wondering if the taycan's camera's work at all with the mirrors folded (even if it's just front and back).

Definitely don't think park assist could navigate this, even if I trusted it to try.

Thanks!

All four cameras will continue to work – but the mirror camera's will be effectively useless due to them being folded up. Front and rear cameras not impacted.

I faced a similar scenario to you at a hotel in Frankfurt and it was fine.

If i’m not going to forget, i’ll try tomorow.
Edit: @tigerbalm already answered, so i can forget

There was a thread on this a while ago. As stated, the mirror cameras rotate when folded and become useless. I have posted a video of what happens on the other thread - if you can find it you will see. Moving forwards, it is very distorted and useless image. Moving backwards there is no image IIRC

Is your lift wide enough for you to exit the car?

Only usable image will be from the front and rear camera.

With mirrors folded 1966mm width.

Line up with the side view to see the gap ahead on either side. Easy after that.

In this lift you don't exit. You drive in, it takes you down, and then you drive straight out. Into the garage, which has a very large amount of maneuvering space.

I think with a ~ 35 cm buffer, I should be OK, now the concern is turning into the lift (it's on a small, very busy pedestrianized road in Central, and I'm going to look like a proper Muppet 10 point turning to get it exactly lined up with the lift.)

Yep, the added distraction and pressure of having to consider pedestrians can't be fun. Though hopefully you'll find it doesn't take that much manoeuvring, even allowing for rear-steer making the reversing trajectory less predictable (at least for me, after 6 months it still doesn't feel intuitive when trying to get parallel in very tight situations).

(I guess your lift wouldn't prevent you getting out the car if one or the other of them stopped working.)
