Hi All, I was looking at the ceiling in the rear trunk of my new 2020 M3 and noticed something funky in the metal ceiling cuts. Do you see this in your M3’s as well? Or is this an issue with mine where they cut it and then tried to glue it back together? Please see attached pics.

Tesla SC, Mobile Service: 'its within spec'

Tesla HQ; 'its within spec as confirmed by local staff aka footsoldiers'

TMC/Interwebz: omg lemon law, trade in (ideally for a P3D+ or Model Y Performance) now before it implodes

My 02 cents: looks like a defect but also a rather benign one. Cover with $80 worth of Chinese trunk trim material and forget about it. Attempting getting a fix will only create headaches and more issuea and problems.
 
Is it not just stray adhesive on top of the metal?
I am more concerned about the ‘triangle’ shape that was sliced into the metal and then glued with adhesive. There isn’t a similar cut on the other side. The view in the pics of from the rear of the car looking up at the ceiling of the trunk, I circled the affected area.
