Default Power mirrors are manually controllable!
I know this question was asked a lot earlier but I hadn't seen any answers. Not sure if this video has been posted (I haven't seen it) but notice that he is driving with the mirrors IN then switches them out manually?! Garage parkers everywhere share a collective sigh of relief!

The technology of early-2000s Germany, now available in the 2020 Corvette Stingray.

The power folding mirrors were one of the things that didn't break on my Audi

That's how folding mirrors work on other GM vehicles that I've owned. A switch on the door folds/unfolds the mirrors at your request.

They are also suppose to close when you lock the doors. Which might be a good thing in a parking lot when someone walking by takes out your mirror.

Some cars need them. Some cars don't. The C8 is so wide that it needs them, just like my 1999 Silverado. Otherwise, they wouldn't fit in the garage. Audi had them in 2000? Oh, wow. I guess I should be impressed.

That is why you need the power folding ones only available on 2 and 3LT. 1LT is manual. OK if you have a passenger.
Oh and then you need the optional lift unless never have to deal with speed bumps steep inclines etc.

I think he thought that they only folded automatically when doors are locked.

That would defeat the purpose. You need to mirrors folded BEFORE you enter the garage, not after you are parked.
