The fix was adjusting the latch plate in the door. 99% of these issues can be fixed with a T40 socket screw driver and some adjusting. Had I known, I would have skipped the trip out to the SC Edit: What I don't understand, is why this isn't caught at the factory though

Honestly, you might just want to live with it. Yours isn't bad.. although the one pic seems pretty off (IMG_1584). Theres a few points of adjustment but I recommend getting a buddy to help hold things in place. Two bolts on each hinge of the trunk. There are also rubber gaskets you can twist...

Just giving an update - I was able to get it much much better to a point where it won't bother me anymore. I slightly adjusted the latch plate and added a plastic spacer on the right side of the trunk to make the gap even. At least it looks symmetrical now lol

Good luck.. Hopefully they don't goof that up

When I had service take a look a few weeks ago, they had my trunk realigned (I messed with the hinge bolts and messed it up). Unfortunately, that gap still persists. It's just something I'll have to live with. I might try moving the trunk latch and see if that has any impact. But I don't think...

Yikes, thanks for sharing. I had service look at it today actually. Ultimately you're right in that the fix can cause more harm than good. Mines still not perfect but I'm the only one who will notice it anyways. I'm just going to learn to live with it.

Yeah it was. I would say they closed the gap maybe 50% of what it was. They said the fender has to be pulled in closer to the door. It's still not perfect but I'm going to guess it's a manufacturing defect on some of the first refreshes

I'll live with the minor imperfections now. But they definitely made them better so I'm happy they did give it an attempt and explained to me what they did

Okay guys update time! Door.. Fixed! It was a fender adjustment. Rear glass replaced. Trunk.. It's not perfect but it's much better. Some of the gaps seem wider but hey, its still better than it was so I'm going to live with it. I'll also say the door still isn't perfect but it is definitely...

I'm gonna keep the updates here. I know a lot of threads die off and we never get the response. So I dropped the car off at 8:30am, was given a rental from enterprise. Said car would be done by tomorrow afternoon. Fast forward until now and I just got word the car is done. If I had known. I...

Just wanted to give everyone an update on this. I have a service appointment scheduled to replace the rear glass, adjust the door, and look at the Trunk. I received an estimate from Tesla and they are treating the door and the trunk as good will service. I'm going to go out on a whim here and...

Definitely. I'm slowly learning to ignore these small flaws. I still have a service appointment scheduled for next Thursday, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'm just trying to work with a local collision center to have my rear-windshield replaced. There seems to be a lot of confusion with...

Agreed. It definitely sucked me in and took me down a rabbit hole

Yeah, exactly. Just gotta look past the minor hiccups. In a few years, I'm sure the qc will be light-years better as Tesla gets more competition and ultimately has to stay competitive. For now, just need to realize we're a little bit ahead of the times here. To your point, just gotta enjoy the...

Agreed with you on that. Just gotta focus on the many other perfect aspects of the car
