Hi Tesla Family,

I’m officially a first time Tesla Model 3 owner after collecting my car today. I wanted to check a few things that I’ve picked up with my car in the first few hours of use and wasn’t sure if this was all normal, acceptable or if I should raise an SC issue for them?
- There seems to be a bit of condensation inside the windows of the rear passengers. At one point the entire left rear passenger window was fogged up with condensate and stayed there for the rest of my drive (about 30 mins). Photo attached of the “better “ side. Couldn’t obviously picture the worse rear passenger side as was driving.
- The wiring in the boot seemed to be exposed. The Tesla rep told me this was normal and could not be fixed? Photo attached
- The interior fabric seemed to ever so slightly be coming apart at the edge- again photo attached. Ask SC to fix?
- One of the rear door handles is recessed inside more than any of the other door handles. The Tesla rep told me this was within spec and could not be fixed?
-There’s a very minor misalignment (I think) at the boot- it’s so minor I would hesitate to fix unless you all think could cause problems later on?

Thank you so much for all your thoughts and opinion. It would be good to hear from all you experienced Tesla owners to know what’s normal and isn’t with this car. I’m painting a negative picture but honestly (so far) the rest of the car is amazing from what I can tell and have enjoyed every minute driving it.
