Hood Fitment on a New Plaid

[Vettepartz]

I just received my new Plaid, and was wondering if this alignment of the hood is within specs. I hope that you can see in the pictures that the right front edge of the hood is about a quarter inch higher than the top of the facia where they meet. I don't know if there is anything here that could be adjusted. Thoughts?

That is not in spec. There should not be a vertical gap between the hood and the body. When the hood is resting that high, the internal frunk seal just past the latch is likely not sealing.

Horizontal gaps are fine; they make it look like a cheap car, but at least those are only cosmetic.

There are adjustment pads you can lower the hood, but what is that "separator" in the first photo prying up your hood in the area of concern?

Completely normal. The hood is moving. All Teslas have this "Gap".

Seems normal to me...mine looks pretty much the same.
