Normal. It will work itself in. If you put the window down on that passenger door you’ll see it’s now closing easily. Been discussed many a time. Give it time!

I wish my trim were so well aligned! That’s waaaaaay better than last year’s cars, let me tell you.My Model S delivery was yesterday. It wasn’t missing any pieces in the trunk, and looked good overall. The thing that I noticed was the door panel gaps in the back seat didn’t match. The passenger side was wider. The car was also missing the Monroney label. The delivery person asked when I wanted to schedule a service appointment for the door and I replied that I didn’t want one. I didn’t feel like scheduling a new car for service. I passed on it. I will see what happens with my account. I’m content with my MY and really don’t need a new car. I guess I’m getting old.
Am I the a@@hole?

I mean personally I would've accepted if that was the only issue and idk if i would've even taken it for service without seeing the other door gap. Its your car though & you need to be happy with it from the get go. In this price range there really shouldn't need to be these inspections or worry about major quality issues on new cars. It seems every single new delivery says "Car looks good, except for X,X, and X."My Model S delivery was yesterday. It wasn’t missing any pieces in the trunk, and looked good overall.

Fixing that door card takes about 2 minutes. Passing on the car for that one thing is quite frankly astonishing.
There's the politically correct answer to this and then there's the honest one.

I’m sure there are other reasons… Bottom line; if it doesn’t make him happy, he shouldn’t blow $100k+ on it. Buy something that makes you happy.
No- you did not like it so you passed. Nothing wrong with that at all.My Model S delivery was yesterday. It wasn’t missing any pieces in the trunk, and looked good overall.

I hope both of our cars come, and before interest rates rise (again). I have locked in financing twice and won't try again until I get a VIN. Good luck!

Not to rain on your parade but I don't understand how this can happen!
Frankly I wish more people would reject deliveries on quality issues so that Tesla would get the message and their act together. That being said I couldn't and didn't do it, after "only" a relatively short 6.5 month wait.My Model S delivery was yesterday. It wasn’t missing any pieces in the trunk, and looked good overall.

I think the logistic/delivery folks at Tesla are the least technologically advanced part of the company. I believe Tesla employs some of the smartest computer scientists around. They obviously do not work in logistics but if Tesla could just spare an afternoon to lend some of these engineers to logistics, I'm sure they could come up with a world class delivery system. I'd think it very easy to design code for delivery that wows. Either that or Tesla maintains a sh*t list of customers to deliberately frustrate. And you, sir, are on it.

If there are other reasons, sure. But you and I both know the QC on these cars is bloody awful so if it was rejected for only that minor issue, I have to face palm.

They get away with so much + false promises the service centers can resolve issues, making multiple service visits for brand new 100K is unacceptable. Just my opinion, every person is different.If there are other reasons, sure.

What do you all think Tesla is going to do with a customer reject? They just move it on to the next customer. And I doubt the reason it was rejected gets moved up the chain. It is not like there is a graveyard of rejects that Tesla is hoarding.
The only way I see QA issues changing is actually through service. Get enough vehicles in for the same, routine issue and you have a potential better chance of making an impact. But the only way a car ends up in service is by accepting and then scheduling service.

This all makes me wonder who is the corporate manager that oversees QC, customer relations? I know, laugh because it feels good, but who is this person if Tesla even has one? Quite obviously, the Service Centers should not be doing QC. Warranty issues, yes. Problems experienced by customers in volume, tend to start reducing sales as people will hear or read of this and go elsewhere. So far, Tesla is doing OK. So far.
Took delivery yesterday and couldn’t be happier! Not a blemish or anything at all to gripe about, except the lack of a privacy shelf which should be arriving via FedEx. I honestly can’t imagine more power than this, she keeps pulling at 90 like she does at 20 and I chicken out!
Are you sure there are no asymmetrical door gaps?
