Different color white on rear hatch vs rear panels?

Mine is currently at Tesla to address this paint issue. It is only evident during certain lighting and can easily be missed. I didn't even noticed it until it was pointed out to be under the exact lighting condition as indicated on my picture posted..

I suggest you give Tesla service a ring as well..
The issue, is that there is no Tesla service in the state of NM, I think Elon is still miffed because our ex governor was an idiot and didn't want the Gigafactory here. So, the service has to come from CO or TX. What they would have to do is arrange a local body shop to paint the doors.

Wtf! Did that somehow go unnoticed at delivery?
They delivered my car on a transport at 10pm on a Sunday night. I couldn't even get the screen to turn on, so I drove 8 miles with the access card to get the car home. I traced its gps, and it spent 2 weeks on that car hauler, from CA to NM. No service was done at all for 3 weeks after delivery when the service tech drove up. Had to reboot it twice to even get the computer in a state where it could update the software.

Yikes. I hope they can make it right and you can put this behind you as quickly as possible.

Mine is the same way

This looks more like color shift based on the angle. You can see a more yellow appearance of the panels as they turn...which is typical of pearls... I am wondering if the pearl additive over the base wasn't too much more yellow which makes that transition from color straight on to an angle too drastic?
