That door appears to be a repair made post manufacturing. Perhaps damage during transport (truck to railyard, in railyard, truck to tesla store, etc.) Local body shop did a hack job! When you open the door does the inner part of the door paint match the door jamb? Is the edge of the door rough or have a seam of old paint to new?

It's going in on Monday, they said 6-8 weeks to fix. No charge.
Immediately took off the Gemini covers when I got home.

My bumpers are slightly different in color seen yesterday on an overcast day. Same thing seen on my LX470 yesterday which is also pearl white. You can sort of see it in my pic above from this morning though. When I spoke with the delivery gal yesterday, she said hers has the same issue and is due to difference in metal and plastic and that Tesla would say this is normal. Looking at YouTube videos, I also see the difference on white model Y’s. But if the door is different, that’s certainly an issue.

It's hard to tell from the pics ... third time is the charm ... fingers
crossed for success.So you're telling me they tried to give it back to you after 2 weeks with it still messed up? What the F**K?
They were ok selling it “f$$$” up. Why not repair it similarly?
My wife's Pearle White 2023 MYLR picked up 2 weeks ago has very slight difference between the 2 doors on the driver's side also. No enough to have it repainted.
Every car with pearl white I've had has slight difference color bumper covers. Plastic bumper covers are painted separately from the car. Pearl white is real had to match if a panel is repainted. They need to blend into the adjacent panel so you eye doesn't see any difference.

OK, Here is my wife's recently picked up Austin Built Model Y. As you can see the doors on the driver side are different colors. I will live with it because I don't want to go through multiple repaints just to make it match better.
I've been through pearl white mismatch before with a Toyota that was repaired. I swore I would never buy another Pearl White again. I like the color so much for keeping the panels cool in Florida that Now I have 2 of my 3 vehicles in Pearl white.
