WOW for #1, holy smoke!!! I would be more concerned with the FWD not sealing as water could get in. But, that #1 issue is just WOW!!

I wouldn’t necessarily drive all the way down if that is an inconvenience just take back to BP and explain to them the situation and see if they can expedite that fix the only in-house Tesla body shop I know of in LA is in Van Nuys rest of them outsource including Costa Mesa ...good thing we are in SoCal and no rain forecast for awhile !

Another thing I forgot to mention is that the Drivers door window squeaks when the door is closed (you know when the doors shuts the window automatically closes a little bit more) . Never did that before either. Is there an easy fix?I hate to report that to them and end up with more problems again.
Common issue on Xs ..every new delivery thread you will see owners with same issue ...spray with Silicon (wd40 green) or have SC do for u
Don't they do a factory soak test?
You would think they would make more effort to make the cars watertight because leaks are really expensive to fix. I had a Suzuki that the dealer managed to damage during a service once, and the water soaked all the carpets and parts of the seats. Cost them a small fortune to replace all that.
Most luxury car makers do a soak test for that reason. Don't want those expensive materials to get ruined or upset the customer.
Ford stops sales of some 2015 Edges for water leak
Turns out I remembered wrong. It's 27 hours.
These sort of customer satisfaction actions go on all the time, with all manufacturers. Tesla needs to stay on top of correcting them and on top of after sale support. It's the best course of action.

Thanks for the tips for the squeaking seals. Actually had some Gummi Pflege in my garage. Put it on the seals and it took care of it right away.
Talked to my SA and explained the issues. Said he would get me right in and put my car to the head of the line. Seemed very willing make things right. Is going to make sure I get a loaner car ( they have been slammed lately with all the new deliveries and other issues) and then have me drop off my car. I am hopeful that things will get fixed. On another note it was great to get to drive my car (still love it). Compared to the P100D X with 22's and my 100D X with 20"s I love my ride better. Maybe I'm just getting old.
I like the ride in my 20" as well. I LOVE the look of the 22" turbines, but I prefer the ride in the 20" too
Funny how people keep bringing up issues by other car manufacturers. Who cares about them? We're talking about Tesla vehicles. Just because others have issues doesn't mean it's OK for Tesla to be the same way. Customers should be demanding that Tesla pay more attention to the issues afflicting their vehicles, not trying to soften the blow by comparing to other makes' problems.
It's often a pre emptive response to the "other car makers don't have these problems" that usually shows up in these threads.
In my case it was a response to the question about soak tests. Even those don't catch everything, and often the best we can do is fix it well, after delivery.

I hope they take Tesla private ASAP as I think the quality will improve when that happens. I have tons invested and love Elon and the company but boy do I have stories that should be told so they will improve the company rather than be advertised by shorts and people that want them to fail.

i have some fitment issues too but i don't know if i will bother with them given what everyone has reported on this thread. definitely some paint defects too like "hairs" under the paint and small touch up paint spots which they must have addressed during QA, but i am not going to worry about those if it means body shop time.
what do you think of these trim and rubber seal issues. i am most concerned about the last photo rubber seal where it's been twisted and is almost vertical.

You should seriously consider getting that last one fixed. The other ones are also unacceptable, but I would get that seal fixed first, could potentially let in rain water.
I think those of us who support Tesla are willing to give them some latitude, but should not accept such glaring manufacturing defects on a 100+K vehicle. After all, money doesn't grow on trees and there are a lot of people who work very hard to earn it!
Good luck, hope you will be able to resolve all the issues and enjoy your X!
