No paint - do I need to worry

[RayCanuck]

Found a few places where there is no paint. Only visible if the front doors are open as they are behind the door hinge on the front quarter panel .... Don't really care if this will not cause an issue down the road.....
Any advice? Same on both sides

WTF?! That's terrible. Bring it into a SC right away. Where did you pick up? W. 4th or Powell St. That's not right.

West 4th......
being 450km away makes bringing it in a bit of a pain, to say the least

Almost all Tesla 3's have that, some are easier to see than others - look at the trunk hinges as well, around and under the hinges will be the same way.

Tons of them are that way. I dare say if you think yours isn't don't check... Because it probably is.

As long as it has primer it's fine. Look at the top of the trunk from inside the trunk... Same thing.

Lots of threads on this issue. We all wish it wasn't that way but oh well.

Guess they're build for sunny dry California .....
I did buy the partial premium = partial painted I suppose
wish there was a fully painted option
LoL

That is completely normal for how cars are painted now-in-days with the doors on.

As far as primer everything should be covered with the e-coat since the whole body is submersed in the e-coat tank.

Clearly not are the same way.... in some places. Clearly you should not pay full price for car which is 80 % painted.

This is for sure a problem to Tesla. Because tesla paint shop is overclocked.

For car which price is 96.000 $ it should have decent paint. Not SUBPAR.
