That’s because you still have the plastic protection layer on it …
So I thought that too but it disappears into the door panel and I can smell adhesive.

I'd say that somebody at the factory forgot to remove the plastic protection film before it got mounted on the car. You can take the car in to service and they will just peel it off as best they can or you can do it yourself.
Is the other side the same?

There’s no adhesive. It’s just a plastic sticker for protection. Same stickers you get on your iPhone. You pay a lot for an iPhone as well. You should take it back to Apple and have those degenerates take that off for you also…
You’re making a huge mountain out of a little sticker.
just peel it off.

My Wife's Y still had those on when we got it home. They just peel off. Although it might have more resistance from being on so long. You didn't get any camera alerts?

Enough folks responded that they had the same thing happen to them that I went ahead and peeled them off. Windex took care of the adhesive.
I got an overnight loaner P3 a few months ago and there was some CRAZY gooey adhesive on the B-pillars. When my wife and I took the car out of the Tesla lot, we got some warning message that the cameras were offline and to clean the B pillar cameras. We pulled over and I tried to wipe with my shirt. There was soo much sticky goo... it was like someone had put duct tape on there for 5 weeks then peeled it off without heating up. The residue was impossible to wipe away with my shirt since it was just grabbing the lint from my shirt and making it worse.
When we got home, I took some Sprayway glass cleaner. Not a dent.
I then tried some goo gone. Nothing.
Ended up needing to put some acetone on a polishing cloth and orbital polished the damn thing for 5 minutes.
Like WTF is this adhesive crap, and why is it used on a thing that goes over a camera lens?
