Get on the local auto grapevine and find the best paintless dent removal business. They'll be able to say if they can fix it or not. If they can it'll be way less than what you have been quoted. What do you have to loose?
Unless the previous owner paid for the upgrade and didn't get it done before he sold the car, you're not likely to get it for free. As of this late date, it is most likely that SC management is quite aware that the upgrade is not going to be free.
You could use a stylus or similar object and rub the area of the pixel. Being careful not to apply to much pressure, this method could "unstick" the pixel.
The prices on Ebay for a used one is a nogo. If the current new price is $120, I'd buy it all day at the SC.
Here is a video from a Russian guy replacing the tail light asm and charge door asm. Easy peezy. Go to 4:05 for the door replacement.
Also, this is timely for me, my door is...
Just released is a detailed, but not overly technical, video about the 16v aux lithium battery for those who have it in newer Teslas.
The video has timestamps for easy access to pertinent information. Of most interest might be:
1:50 The jump-start terminals of the Model 3

Look at the retention clips on the aero covers see if they are uniform in how they are spread to grab the wheel. Also, potholes are not your friends, but the 18" wheels are better at handling than the larger wheel sets.
There are rubber bump stops under the deck lid you can hand tighten or loosen to lower or raise the deck lid. That might get you what you want. Otherwise, it looks fine to me.
The first time I saw a thread about this I went to check the bolts, they appear solidly in. After reading this thread I checked again with the above pictures as a result.
You can see the bolts without removing the front aero shield. You'll need a flashlight to illuminate the area. Look from behind the front wheel forward, you should see the rear bolt. Looking from the front of the wheel back you should see the front bolt.
Contactor opening, not an issue, the car will at times make noise like that and more. I suggest the next time you get a update, sit in the car the entire time it is updating. Lots of things going on, lights flashing, contactor opening, etc., normal.
Download a frequency generator app for your phone and see if you can replicate the rattle while you're back there. No way you can diagnose this properly by yourself while driving.
The white paint should mostly come off with some paint solvent, if the retaining clips aren't broken just push the bumper back onto the clips.
After removing the paint, depending on how deep the scratches are, you might be able to buff it out with some polish.
I would add the next odometer reading for rotation so that when the date rolls around and you have not reached the odometer reading just move the date forward a little until things match.

A question, I assume Tesla gets the compressor from a outside vendor, if there is a defect that causes failure of the compressor, does Tesla eat the recall or does the outside company pay for the recall or some portion?
