I don't think you realize who you're talking too...
Me thinks anyone of us mere mortals that have been on this thread for more than a month or so could have just as easily replied in the affirmative. It's just that one member literally lives on this thread and is the fastest draw in these here parts. :)
 
Not meaning to be a troll but did you not decline a delivery a few weeks ago for asymmetrical gaps? My apologies if not
I declined a delivery pre-refresh with interior trim that didn’t alight. That Model S was in much better condition. This had obvious flaws.

Curious, one of the things that irked me about the pre-refresh S was the unfinished look of the metal between the quarter panels and the gasketing of the trunk. You could see the weldments and it looked terrible. Wife's Y looks like it should. Like a part of the car you normally see and would expect to look 'right'.

Can't tell on the refresh as it might be above the area in the picture. See below.

My delivery appointment was today. The car had a few issues.
  1. It was missing all the interior mats;
  2. The trunk was missing all the trim pieces including the bottom cover;
  3. The hood was misaligned and the rubber seal was visible on one side;
  4. The trim around the windshield was loose on the bottom;
  5. The trim around the taillight was off on one side;
  6. Paint in certain areas around the rear hatch were tacky; and
  7. The car was dirty having not been cleaned since the rain on the prior day. It was very hard to examine the paint.
The delivery advisor could not guarantee that I had the latest hinges, and he claimed TOTAL ignorance on the issue.

I refused delivery after losing it and becoming totally unhinged. He said my sales advisor would try to match me with another EOQ car, but I doubt I’ll hear anything.

I am kidding about the hinges. :)
@Ormond What do you mean the paint was tacky???
