Tesla Motors Club

Just got my 2021 LR Model 3 last week and just fully noticed something I glanced over during delivery.

Upon opening the rear center armrest the plastic seems to bend and a bubble forms where it opens. Attaching pics/video. Just wanted to confirm this is definitely abnormal and I should schedule a service appointment. The girlfriend seemed convinced it was by design to keep the armrest open sturdy but it looks like a defect to me.

Thanks!
