Your can see the blind spot in the physical mirrors?

Properly positioned mirrors don’t have blind spots.

Edit: Any modern vehicle with functioning mirrors should not have blind spots: https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~gdguo/driving/BlindSpot.htm

And yet pretty much every car has a blind spot detector of some sort. Pretty weird for something that's never needed.

People don’t set up their mirrors properly. If you’re turning your head to make a lane change, you’re doing it wrong. Also, the visibility in a Tesla is much, much better than it is in most cars. Not having an engine in the front of the car allows for more angle in the pillars that would normally cause blind spots.
