took delivery 2 days ago from tesla tampa. was basically advised that my car was ready in spot 27. off I went alone as they said just let us know if you need anything. As I did my look over nothing really stood out besides some new interior plastic etc…it was starting to rain and it was rush hour so off I went. got home today and while the sun was hitting the rear end I noticed the rear plastic is an eggshell white, not white like the metal part of the car. the front bumper area is basically the same. been trying to contact tesla tampa or corp. for that matter to no avail.

Recent White MY/MYP Deliveries - Paint Match?
Hi all! About 1 week from delivery (VIN 230xxx) and I am getting a little nervous about the white paint match on the rear bumper. I was at the dealer yesterday and there was a white MYLR and the yellow tint on the rear bumper was VERY noticeable (had not previously paid attention to it but this...

2021 quality of white paint
I like the white...and I like the price, but every white MY that I have seen has a horrible color match on the rear bumper. Sometimes other panels mismatch too. Just getting a gauge of any recent deliveries and peoples experience with the white paint. Thanks for the info.

White Model Y - Paint Mismatch
Those who have taken delivery of the Pearl White Model Y recently, did you have paint color mismatch issues? Especially the rear hatch/bumper not matching with the rest of the car. I will be taking delivery of my Y next month and I am wondering whether I should switch the color since it seems...

Tesla quality control is lacking...on everything. Get your house in order before you expand your product line any further

Are those all new cars?
I would not accept something that looked like that (the Tesla in original post). They (cars in nate's post) all look like they've been in a fender-bender and have had the bumper replaced lol. Not saying that's the case of course but jeez.
There are lots of white ones around here and I don't see this issue. I guess it depends with what you can live with. Dings and such I am ok with, but that paint looks poor. Of course Tesla is in the driver seat as they will just say ok, too bad, you can reject it and it will go to someone else.

Those are new cars, not aftermarket painted or repaired. You can search other car forums and there are tons of complaints, especially white color, regarding mis match paint for their new cars.
You don't see those issues because those are not your car and you don't pay attention like the other owners.

That would be pretty disappointing if those were new. I don't think I would accept that.
My neighbour has a white one as well as two others on my block. They definitely do not have this issue.
Not sure what else to say; I'm not denying it is an issue, I'm only suggesting it is possible to get it right.
Sadly I feel that in this market the consumer is not in the driver seat.

See if you can park next to another white MY and compare in the same lighting. If yours is significantly out of family, you might have a case. I picked up my white MY in March, and sometimes I can see a transition from the metal hood to plastic bumper but the lighting has to be just right. I have to look for it to notice though. I can see it on other Teslas too. I think it’s pretty common issue with the white paint.

I drive by the local lot frequently, I will take a closer look today at what I see. From my rando drive-by's they all look pretty dang good.
I have not seen an X though on the lot for weeks.

There's no relevancy there as different colors used to be free, MSM is free, and white used to be for a FEE as well.

Plenty of relevancy actually... it was switched to a free color after the flood of complaints from people about paying for a color that didn't match.

Whatever the free color is ppl will complain, just like they did with black. White is the hardest to match next to a silver metallic.

Would you please take pictures of your car and others in your area? especially the rear bumper and rear quarter panel meet?
