Dam that is so not right. How the hell did that leave the factory? I assume this is because they are building them under the BIG TOP aka tent.

This same problem with white M3s in the early days, but IIRC it was bumper color mismatched from the rest of the car. And that was when white was an extra cost color (black was the free one).

They need better lighting in that tent.
The wrap would be nice to protect the paint but NOT to cover-up Tesla's screw-ups.
Yours definitely shows a mismatch, especially between the doors and rear 1/4 panel. I will tell you because the bumper covers are plastic they are very hard to match, that goes with most cars in white. I think I might take it to a body Shop here that specializes in Tesla body repair and get their opinion.

That's why I declined their offer to accept the delivery and let them "make it right." Even though no promises for the loaner. I would be OK with a couple of imperfections, but this is too much.
Do they offer to get you a new vin#/car? This was actually my car 2nd... the first had way too many issues... hope Tesla makes it right for youThat's why I declined their offer to accept the delivery and let them "make it right."

Only meant that some people get white exteriors so they can wrap them in other colors and finishes. A matte finish might hide the subtle color difference and wrapping in neon green would make the white discrepancy unnoticeable! LOLThey need better lighting in that tent.

I haven't seen a white one yet that looked like all the panels matched. I'm skeptical at this point that doors were painted at the same time as the body.

Same! Declined delivery yesterday due to the same paint issue (among other things). Both driver and passenger doors were a darker/cooler hue. It almost looked like they needed one more coat of paint. I see it everywhere now! Most white Model Y’s I find photos of online have this mismatch. Saw a M3 on the road today that I swear had the mismatch also...
I would recommend to anyone picking up a white MY to inspect it in a shady area. Direct sunlight will hide this well.
It’s a gorgeous car, can’t wait for some of these bugs to be resolved.

Clearly, do not take delivery under the covered parking. Definitely 2 tone in all the wrong ways.
That's how they got me. It was under a covered parking spot and was hard to see in the shade. When I used the detail spray on it this morning, this is what I saw!

I would be interested to know what Tesla offers to resolve the issue. They offered to paint mine if I accept the delivery, but there would be no loaner(!!!)
Wow! They really want to get these cars delivered asap. You should accept their paint offer as long as you get to choose where it goes and have them pay for it. Full custom color options for the entire car for FREEEEEE!
