2022 Mercedes EQS 580
With my C63S coupe I have 7" on each side. Maybe that 1" makes a difference, but it seems plenty of space. The door is 8 feet, but the actual opening is only 94". Inside, the garage is 9.5' tandem but still have to get through the opening. I've had SUV loaners and it isn't much of a problem. I actually park as far to the right as I can to leave enough room to get past on the left and give me enough room with the long coupe doors to get out of the car. I usually leave about an inch between the mirror and the wall. I pretty much rely on the 360 camera. Lining up the red line on the side with the right side of the door and the wall gets me there no problem.

I guess it's all about spatial awareness. The EQS is a big car, but mostly long. Didn't feel especially wide when I drove the 580 and 53. I've squeezed through tighter spaces. On a trip to Portugal a few years ago I had to drive through a tiny alley. VW Golf rental with folded in mirrors had about an inch on each side. Now that's tight.

This topic is about Autimatic mirror folding. The only time the mirror automatically folds is when you lock and unlock the car.
There is obviously a button to fold the mirrors.
The OP would like the mirrors told fold and unfold based on location similar to the GPS 360deg camera.
It sounds like an easy fix that could be done with an easy software implementation… but that will never happen with Mercedes.

Do you know up to what speed it's still possible to fold them in EQS?

It would appear that things are not the same everywhere -
With my 450+, the mirrors do NOT automatically fold when I open and enter my car. This is not the same as unlocking with a key fob, but it is unlocking the car.
Here are the steps I go through -
1. Approaching my garage, I fold the mirrors manually., then enter the garage, turn off the motor, and exit the car. The mirrors remain folded.
2. I lock the car - no change in the mirrors.
3. I enter the garage, the door handles extend, the mirrors remain folded, I enter the car, start the motor. The mirrors have never unfolded in this process.
4. Only after I exit the garage, do I manually unfold the mirrors.
Could it be that my last command to fold the mirrors prior to entering the garage overrides any car programming.

Side note: I simply can't believe the bickering over folded mirror question.

My mirrors do not unfold when I unlock the car.
I have a 2017 Mercedes GTS. My mirrors usually unfold when I hit the unlock button on the car keys or when I touch the door handle to unlock the car. Today, I noticed the mirrors are not unfolding until I open the door of my car!
Has this happened to anyone before?
Do i have to reset the settings? If yes, please help

What use are puddle lights after you've stepped in a puddle? My Genesis would unfold the mirrors as I approached so I could actually see where I was going.

Do you mean puddle lights do not illuminate the area close to the door when folded? Or do they not activate before mirrors are unfolded?

This is indeed laughable. The standard door in my state is 8 feet wide- in a $400k house and in a $2.5mil house. I have an S and G and both will not get in/out without the side mirrors folded. You thinking that 10-feet garage doors are the norm? Entitled much?
