Thanks for providing this checklist! How did you document your concerns with Tesla? Was the Tesla rep present with you during your inspection? Did you both have a final list of all your concerns that you both agreed too? Thanks again for all your great info.List credit from Bearded Tesla Youtube account:

I have not gotten mine yet, but my plan is to bring a pad of yellow post it notes, write the issue on them with an arrow to point at the problem and then stick next to the issue. Then I can take pics and/or walk back to distance myself and let the advisor at Tesla approach the car to see the issues...
As an FYI, here are the problems I found upon delivery. I already have a mobile service appointment scheduled to correct these (see photos):
- Tail light lens incorrectly installed
- Bottom body trim incorrectly installed (front part)
- Defect in driver side window trim
- Missing cap over windshield wiper nut
- Scratch on dash

Here's the checklist I put together by combining several popular checklist I had found online. Hope this helps.Thanks, peter_dzd. I am picking up my Model Y this Thursday and will use your check list. I hope I don't have many issues.
Others have also reported that Tesla said they are unable to fix misaligned taillights at this time.I had my mobile service appt yesterday. The tech replaced my defective window trim and the poorly installed rocker panel, but was unable to fix the misaligned tail light.
I think they're trying to save Q2 by pushing out as much production as they can, even if that production doesn't meet quality standards. I'm hoping they will change this in July. And few people have reported a problem that affects driving the car. It's mostly cosmetic issues.From reading a lot of post, it looks like the is NO final QC at factory. Then it's the SC responsiblity to fix all of the defects. They dont care. Wash it, push it out and hope customer doesn't notice. I find that very offensive. Bad Karma. Elon needs to change this culture.
That's a bummer. My charge port is also not flush, which bother's me even more. The tech said it couldn't be fixed....Others have also reported that Tesla said they are unable to fix misaligned taillights at this time.
