It surprises me, there wasn't someone on this thread mentioning a repair was performed for their body panel fit issues.

markb1; Did you ever get your door sills aligned or repaired? I have the same issues. Thanks.
I picked up my car on Tuesday and noticed the same problem. The gap on the left side is large enough to slip my index finger in but on the right side it is nice and closed in with small gap. Showed it to service center. Will take the car in for them to look at. I will post pics of before after when I get a chance.I also posted this picture in another thread in the production and delivery section, but this thread is more pertinent. Here's my most notable body panel fit issue (the front right edge of the hood, adjacent to the passenger side headlight):

Anyone have this gap problem issue on their newer deliveries... If so was their a fix available ?

Hello TMC! I've been reading this forum voraciously and unfortunately the reason that drove me to register and write my first post is not a positive one. I took delivery on 6/29 and after a few weeks with the car I've noticed several panel issues as well as fan noise issue.
Issues # 2-5 I've seen others complain about on the forum so I know at least it's common. But issue #1 is the one that bugs me the most and I see it every time walking up to the car. I made an appointment to have these looked at. The first available time slot at the Fremont SC is not for a month from now. They could not guarantee a Tesla loaner so I'm kinda dreading possibly having to drive an Enterprise rental after just getting my Model S! Love the car still, but these annoyances have definitely muted a bit my initial enthusiasm and made me more on the alert about other potential issues instead of being in blissful enjoyment.
I'm very glad for this forum and the wealth of information that it contains. It has helped alleviate most of my concerns so far!
Issues:
1. Driver's Side Rear Door. Lower door panel edge (opposite hinge side) sticks out further than rear quarter panel. I wonder if they can even easily adjust this since the top edge seems to align okay. Does anyone else here have a similar issue?
2. L & R front quarter panels sticks out past rest of body, by the mirrors.
3. Back of chrome bezels sticks out (both L & R sides, the pointy end by the rear quarter panel). Photo below.
4. Front edge of hood, left side of hood sticks out further from front bumper, right side looks flush.
5. When AC is on and the car is parked (turning the AC off), what sounds like a fan motor can be heard squeaking from the front passenger wheel well as the it comes slowly to a stop.
3. Back of chrome bezels sticks out (both L & R sides, the pointy end by the rear quarter panel). Photo below.

My left side chrome pointy bit is extra bad - it's not even attached to the foam/plastic thing behind it, so I'm a little worried about water intrusion there, in addition to the fact that it looks bad.
I caught a wash mitt on one of the points once, it's annoying and I'm afraid that may make the condition worse. Please let me know the outcome of your appointment. I hear slight rattling from the mid support beam of the pano roof sometimes too.

I dropped the car off on Saturday and had a whole bunch of minor issues (charge port colors, creaking, passenger front door not closing as easily as the others, etc.)
