Congratulations! Which PPF installer are you using in Austin?I picked up my car today. It's not flawless but it was close. The trunk looks like it does not have the sorka-warp.
One of the doors is slightly mis-aligned but that's all I could find.
It's at the Xpel PPF installer right now.

That looks like the panel that belongs under the middle screen in the interior.

Look at the fine print "TRA Service Panel". A Google search found several for sale on ebay:
2021 Tesla Model S Long Range Plaid TRA Service Panel #9677 Y3 | eBay
For sale is a TRA Service Panel from a 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid.

Yup. It's the closeout panel. Feel under the screen above the dual charging ports. Is it open under there? If not, it's an extra cover. Mine is removed since I frequently use the canbus connection.

If you go with what kids want, you'll end up with a car named "Stinky" or similar.My wife and I did that, then the kids nixed it.
Yup. That matches. There is one there so apparently this is an extra.
I didn't look at that and I don't have the car now. I'll check when I get it back. I'll also measure the gaps left and right. By running my finger along the gap, I could detect a LITTLE difference but it was small enough I wasn't sure if there was any. I guess my finger isn't as calibrated as sorka's eyes are...

Mine for comparison. FYI, it's about to be fixed but it involves replacing the entire roof.
Passenger side gap which is good.
Driver's side gap which is 1/8" larger. If your gaps are equal then is the back of your liftgate shifted too far to the drivers side i.e. is your gap on the left side of the liftgate where it meets the quarter panel smaller than the right gap?

I think I see what you are measuring. It's not the glass - it's the metal (red) parts between the roof and the liftgate, right?
I will measure all of the gaps on mine when I get it back - hopefully Friday.
Edit: I forgot. There is one more mis-alignment that my son-in-law pointed out. The rear plastic bumper cover isn't perfectly aligned with the driver's side rear quarter panel. The bumper cover sticks out a millimeter or maybe 2. Small enough that I didn't care (see my earlier post about my Chevy).
Don’t go measuring - it will make you feel worse. Instead just enjoy the car - you can’t see that alignment when you are driving anyway 
Spot on! Measuring with a paint stirring stick seems Way beyond normal expectation. Drive it and stop hunting for micro errors.Don’t go measuring - it will make you feel worse. Instead just enjoy the car - you can’t see that alignment when you are driving anyway
Agreed. Made me feel worseDon’t go measuring - it will make you feel worse. Instead just enjoy the car - you can’t see that alignment when you are driving anyway
And the stitches in your sock are crooked. You should return them to Puma to be aligned.
We got the EXACT same car…in Austin.
Maybe I’ll see you out there on the road.
I have service coming out today for the rear passenger door alignment. It’s protruding out and isn’t closing right.

That should be an easy fix. They could even do that with a mobile appointment. I'm assuming it's just the latching adjustment to bring the door flush when closed.
