Forward and side disability in the Model 3 / Y is excellent. It has far better visibility than the ID3 for example. Rear visibility from the rear view mirror is not good in either.

I think what Henry is referring to in terms of turning procedure is:
1. Look in your side mirrors for obstacles
2. Signal
3. Upon initiation of a signal, the side camera (mounted about the front wheels on Tesla) activates on the screen
4. Check that as you turn to see if a cyclist etc is still beside you
5. Turn
It's an additive not a replacement to using the mirrors. What it does replace / augment is blind spot monitoring when changing lanes on dual carriageways as it has a wider field of view than your side mirror.

How does it compare with turning your head and looking over your shoulder? Am I the only one that does that as part of step 1?

Surely it's safer as it doesn't require you to remove your eyes from looking in the direction of travel and isn't encumbered by the b pillar.
