Try $30 and fuck painting. Old car better.

“If they break”, oh yes, let’s fund a strawman.

…you don’t think car parts break? Or are you the type to just get a new one every few years so you’ve never experienced it?

Glass alone, if heated (many are) $100+. Actual motorized mirror: $300+. Then there’s painting to match.

Who exactly is the one building a strawman, here? 🤔 sources, please

Cameras would be smaller, less likely to get damaged, and are pretty commodity tech these days.

Fair, debatable, and fair. Definitely not cheaper than a mirror, though. Maybe on a luxury car, absolutely not on anything more common.

It ain’t the glass that costs. It’s the sleek custom designed shape of the housing that costs all that money. Not the mirror.

A plain round simple mirror that is externally mounted is cheap and easy to replace. But it won’t make your car look as fast or as cool.
