I'm not aware of this feature on any RC.
2018 F-sport pretty much maxed out features doesn't have it.
Maybe the luxury package, it has a few things the others dont. Like auto windshield wipers.

i believe the US Spec RC doesn't come with folding mirror. In EU and Middle East countries all Lexus comes equipped with Folding Side mirrors as Standard option.

"Standard option" is an interesting concept.

I am sure it hasn't changed through the years of RC's... I want to eventually add power folding mirrors to my 2020 rcf. But I can't source anything yet. I would imagine they can be retrofitted...

I did that with my 2009 w211 Merc. I had to buy European motors and then take my mirrors apart. But after coding everything worked. I don't even care about the "auto" .. .I just want to manually be able to push a button in the car and have the mirrors fold in on the lexus.

I finally added power folding mirrors to my RCF. This can be done. I'll make a new thread and video/pics shortly.

Since our cars never came with auto folding mirrors in the states. They don't automictically open/close when you unlock/lock the car. That has to be coded to the car, so i'm in the process of figuring out if a EU country specific update would flash to our cars... But manually pushing the fold mirror button works flawlessly...

I have never really seen the allure of folding mirrors. I guess if you vehicle is really wide, OK
I never park my RC where I would think this would be an advantage. It is cool though to have
a boatload of options and say, "what the hell, folding mirrors would be badass"
