Adjustment to Fix Door Panel Spacing?

[Glamisduner]

The only thing left after having my delivery issues fixed is the door panel isn't flush with the body. It's much more obvious depending how the sun hit it.

Took a photo, the door sticks out past the body and throws a shadow.

Will adjusting the striker fix this issue, or do I need to find a body shop that might be able to fix this?

Is it flush everywhere else other than the area that bulges past the fender ?

yes the top is pretty flush, a bit more gap than the side. The entire side sticks out a bit.

Did Tesla fix this for you? I noticed this issue on my driver door after taking delivery.

You think I can take it in as a warranty issue?

 

[Magnets!]

That looks pretty bad. My driver door sticks out a bit and my passenger door is a bit uneven...I'm wondering as well if they will fix or blow it off?

I’m not sure if they will take it, I was wondering if you had found any type of solution. I just took delivery this past weekend and am compiling a list of things I find on the car.

Has anyone had a successful fix from the service center about this yet?

Take it in and get it fixed

I have an appointment set up for next week. I'm just trying to prepare myself in case the service tech says it's "within spec".

I am having the same issue with my Tesla which I got exactly a week ago. I’ve set up a service appointment coming Friday for them to check out. They will most likely measure the gap to see if it’s “within the spec”.

Brand New Car? How could they deny fixing it. That is pretty noticeable.

Please let us know what their answer is. I got my appointment the day after yours.

My white SR+ has the exact same issue. Interested to hear how the appointment goes.

The problem is in the dog leg or the door skin.
No amount of adjustment will fix this.
Looks more like a bad stamping. I'd start by insisting on a new door.

You would be surprised at what experienced body shop guys do with this kind of stuff WITHOUT bodywork. In this case, I could see them actually trying to tweak the door a bit bending the top and bottom out ever so slightly so they can adjust the entire door inward (toward the inside of the car). Will it be perfect? Nope, but it might be "good enough".

[Glamisduner]

I'm planning to circle back to this, but I have been busy with other issues.

How did your appointment go? I have this same issue and haven't reached out yet.
