Inner Rear Tail light and hatch alignment

[Elmachino]

Hello Everyone, I have had my model y for one week. The car has been awesome, I'm so excited to finally have this car after waiting forever for a 7-seater that kept getting delayed. But after I week, I noticed something I wish I had seen at pick up last week, and I'm worried how much I'm going to have to push to get this aligned. I made an appointment at a service center two weeks from tomorrow.
On the passenger side, the inner portion of the tail light, and the vertical portion of the rear hatch are pretty far out of alignment. It looks like it's the hatch that is sticking out, away from the tail light, because the light is positioned the same as the driver's side.

If you can send me photos of your car, so I have lots of examples when I get to my appointment, I would appreciate it. And if you have any experience with this issue, please let me know.

Michael

This is fairly common.. depending on the competency of your local SC, they will either fix it, deny warranty, or actually make the issue worse.

Ok. Wish me luck please.

Hot damn! I just checked mine and the driver’s side is a little bit out of alignment. But my lift gate was a replacement after getting rear ended last year, so not sure if that gap was there when the car was new.

It doesn’t bother me though. I’ve never noticed it until now. But I’ll post pics of the two taillights for reference (please excuse the dust. My car got hailed on by golf ball sized hail a couple of weeks ago, so I'm probably not going to wash it much until after it gets repaired):

Thank you very much for the photos. Good luck with the hail damage.
