Is this normal or "within spec" for a brand new Model Y? Cracking of paint or weld under trunk lip near taillights.

Worth complaining to Tesla and is there anything they can even do? My 2 year old Model Y has a much smaller crack and on only one side.

Sorry I wrote that quickly. The photos are from a brand new model y I picked up on Monday and noticed the cracks today when going over the car. I also checked my 2021 model y and it has a tiny crack as well but not nearly as bad and on only one side. I've found some old posts and it seems this is a common issue but I have not seen a consistent answer regarding a resolution by the service center.

Looks like they painted over sealant, and the paint cracked. It's not surprising that it cracked there if that's really what is happening. It probably doesn't matter in terms of sealing, and is just a cosmetic issue.

I'm assuming the SC won't fix it because it isn't a structural defect.

Yes, I even complained about it and they say it's common and it's more pronounced in white color. They were telling me even if they repair it's gonna turn up like that in couple of months. The service tech mentioned if you have any leaks then we will take care of that and recorded it in the memo
