Poll: Would you return your model 3 over this panel issue?

My advice: If it's just cosmetic, don't worry about it. Sure, ask the SC to look at it and let them fix it if they think it could be a problem.

For context, I don't care what my car looks like. I care about safety and function. If you care, get them to fix it. Don't give up the $1,000 for a cosmetic defect that most other Model 3's have.

Why can't they just get it right?

Because if they got the panel fit right the car would be perfect, and nothing can be perfect, so the universe would explode.

I was so anxious about the paint and body panels going into my delivery appointment today.

It’s fine. It’s not perfect, it’s fine. Honestly if I hadn’t known about the issues with panel fir and paint I would not have noticed any issues. Only because I was looking extra close did I find anything. I count myself lucky because I’ve seen some bad ones on here.

I don’t live close to a SC so improbably just going to live with it as is and get on with life.

Emphasis mine.

I think you are in the vast majority. I think the people who have serious problems with the car are the very unlucky few.
