Parked = stopped? or Parked = car in park?
This is how tesla repainted the car to correct delivery issues. (A brand new car corrected by the Tesla Paint shop of choice) Can you see the tape line? Because I sure can. And this was a very minor touch up, a paint chip about 1/8th the size of this dent. Also it's more aparent in real life where the line moves as your head does. There is also a minor color mistmatch that the picture does not show.

"Knowledgeable painter" being the key. I hate to throw the Tesla folks under the bus, but they're really not known for their quality paintwork at any step of the process. Take it to a real reputable body shop and see what they recommend. They don't need to be Tesla-certified to deal with paint.
Anecdotally, both Tesla (pre-delivery) and a third party shop (in my possession) have repainted/refinished my front bumper. The Tesla work was obvious, dulled, and wrong. The third party shop paint job is flawless to this day and blended perfectly. (this is with the blue)
Many many many cars on the road have this sort of repaint/blend done, and you'd really never notice.
On a side note, it seems you're a reflection of younger me (no idea if you're actually younger, that would be unlikely, but I digress). Very concerned about perfect paint and resale. You
cannot control that forever,
someone or
something will mess that up for you. It's much nicer to yourself to just let that go -
every car eventually has scuffs, touch-ups, chips,
all over it. And they still sell, because that's just a thing that comes with being on the roads and in parking lots.
Our Model 3 is covered in tar spots, the rear Tesla logo is rusting or something (honestly that was a surprise), it has scratches and a few door dings, hood is pitted and chipped to hell, windshield basically looks sandblasted and deeply gouged. And the number of "beautiful car!" comments I get from people
up close to the car is still constant!
