Delivery: Everything looks great... except, anyone know what this is?

[leoport]

MY was dropped off Sept 30, and everything seems really great across the board (yay). The only issue I found was a loose plastic screw. I found it in one of the deep wells in the rear storage.

Anybody know what it is?

looks like a wheel well retainer clip

Exterior wheel well retainer clip?

BTW, I realized this was posted in the Production/Delivery forum, so more details...

VIN is 58XXX, had ordered day one—but pushed delivery later because I wanted to time it with an end of a lease. After completing everything and in the waiting room, things were pretty silent until 6PM Sept 29th, got a text stating that "Today" was the day and to reply if I wanted priority delivery. I actually didn't reply until 8PM because I missed it. Then I got another text at 11PM saying that my car could be ready tomorrow if I reply by 10AM (I assumed the next day). I replied 5min before 10AM.

The car was dropped off something like 2 hours later (!)

Honestly, I was in the dark from that first text. It was like I got a VIN and pressure to purchase all on the 29th. I didn't know what my delivery option was (pick up, delivery, factory?), if it was actually going to happen so quickly, what all I needed to do, etc. Plus I was concerned that this thing was rushed so it could be delivered before Q3 ended (essentially that day).

I was expecting to go and inspect in/out before accepting delivery. With the home delivery, you can only inspect the outside... you need to accept delivery in your account before you are able to unlock the doors. The car looked pretty great IMO, so I accepted delivery.

Still, a pretty messy experience.

Attached some pics, let me know if you see anything off

@leoport from a fairly quick look at your pics, it looks to me like your gaps are nice and consistent and everything seems like it's well-aligned. Others may have a more critical eye but I'd say you've lucked out. Congrats and enjoy!

I really love my MSM Model Y and the experience of driving is second to none and there are a few issues that I have a service appointment for. I just saw this today (it’s the rear trunk and it’s where the trunk latches on). I’m wondering what might have caused it or if this is something others have seen on their Model Ys. It seems like it should not be something that is happening. Anyone else have this happen to there car? And if so, is it an easy and free fix through a service appointment. I already have an appointment for the end of the month and am wondering if I can add this to it. Thanks

@jubovi - I'd monitor it to see if it gets worse every time you close the trunk. Regardless, if you have a service appointment, it's worth adding this to a list of issues.

(you may get more responses if you post it in a separate thread too)
