Hey guys
I've just taken delivery of a brand new Model 3 here in Australia. Loving the car, but a day after it arrived, I noticed that the bonnet (or hood, to those in the US!) panel is sitting crooked. The gap on the left side is wider than the gap on the right side, and it also sits very slightly lower on the right. (I've circled where, in my photo below.)
When you press the left side, it also makes a creaking sound. (See the red star in my photo...)
I'm wondering if this is something that can be fixed at service? Can they re-align a bonnet so it sits correctly?
It is fairly obvious once you know it's there. A quick look at other Model 3s shows that some are also out of alignment, others seem perfect. Being in Australia, mine has come from the Chinese factory, which is known for being pretty good with panel precision.
Would love anyone's advice on how to get this sorted.
Thanks all!
Mike
