I took delivery of my Model 3 last week and it's been great. Haven't had any major issues, but noticed a couple of things about the center screen. When driving the car, the screen looks gorgeous in general, but when the sun is coming in at a low sharp angle from behind, there's a reflection glare that reveals some imperfections on the glass otherwise invisible:
-tons of micro-scratches inch or more long all across the surface - swirl pattern on the left side, more vertical on the right, as if someone polished rigorously with a rough cloth.
-looks like three small rice-grain sized bubbles under the surface, generally in the black border areas to the right or below.
On further inspection, I feel like there might be a thin transparent film on the glass, like the kind that sometimes comes on tablet and phone screens to protect them during shipping, but very thin? I feel like I see a slight edge on the glass, just a bit inside the bevel, and maybe it's the film that has the scratches and slight bubbles, and can be removed. Has anyone else noticed, or are my eyes deceiving me?
The reason I don't want to get a fingernail in there and try peeling myself it is that if it is a shipping film, I'd like to leave it on at least until I get a third-party screen protector - the scratches are only noticeable when the sun is at a very sharp angle. Usually once you start peeling such film even a bit, the corner usually becomes visible and too distracting to leave on.
