Paint problems - do these bother you?

I picked up the car yesterday. Overall very solid Austin build MYLR, without glaring panel gaps. There were a few paint imperfections that I would appreciate your input how you feel. I am attaching two pictures - one at the upper corner of rear bumper on the passenger side just below the taillight
- one just above the first one with small paint bubbles just above the taillight

I have heard about nonmatched white color on rear bumper and am hesitant to let the paint bubbles go as they are small. The other one, will see if the service center can go great job touching it up.

Appreciate all inputs.

I have a same problem like you had at the life gate. Tesla agreed to fix it and they will send the car to 3rd party body shop. However, every time the car is in the bodyshop, there are chance that it acquire new issues. I decided that I’m not going to fix it. It is very small. However, it is your car and it is up to you. IMO, I will get a rock chip eventually and this issue would be minor compare to that.

Mine is also Austin build and look it had same problem. The paint bubble seems to be below the clear coat.
