Anyone get their misaligned headlight and rear light gaps fixed at Tesla Service?

[paranoidroid]

I have some alignment issues on my front passenger side headlight where the headlight is not centered within the panels and there are large gaps on one side.

On the rear driver side brake light next to the charger port it's not flush with the rest of the body.

Has anyone got similar issues fixed by Tesla? If they are easy fixes I may get it fixed but I don't want to create two problems trying to fix one if it's a pain to fix.

Yeah I took mine in. Headlights were better but still not perfect. The rear was fixed better but I think the charge port door is not misaligned. I'm too lazy to bring it in again. I think that's Tesla's MO right now. Wear them down so they stop complaining.

Do you know what they did to attempt to fix them?

After seeing all the posts with alignment issues etc, I feel so lucky , I thought a few mm off here and there was bad but nothing like what I've seen on the forums. I am lucky that my car has had pretty much zero issues, there were a few paint drips but in concealed area, VIN 317xx I think mine was built just before the rush ( it's always been a rush but before they were doing 24/7 shifts) and the tent?

I just got mine back and they fixed the alignment very well. Both sides now match

My headlights are way off, just like your photos. I didn't even notice it until the SA looked at the car... I was there for the numerous paint issues :-/

Did he say if it was an easy fix or not? Doesn't bug me that much so really only want to do it if it's not going to potentially create other problems. Less ppl touching the car that's not me the better.

I have a very early 3 (March 2018) with almost zero defects at delivery, and had to refuse my P3D- twice due to paint, glass, headlight and panel gap issues. The third time we accepted delivery (August 2018) and then had to schedule service for a few more issues. I think the run-up to 5000 cars a week pushed cars out the door a little to fast. The local SC manager and I are still negotiating some goodwill perks. We'll see if it finally looks and runs as well as my early rear-wheel drive version does. My recommendation is to bring a flashlight to inspect the paint at the delivery session and to not be afraid to decline to accept it if its bad. They'll fix it and try again in a few days. Also when you decline to accept it you can also delay the final payment.

I think we're past that point... now it's up to service to take care and repaint my entire car due to the large number of defects... this weekend I'll upload photos... it's very significant
