Received Model 3 P - noticed what looks like a SMART repair on rear bumper

[MattC]

Hi,

I got my new Model 3 Performance on Tuesday and have just noticed a long lacquer line on the rear bumper where it appears Tesla have repaired damage.

My delivery was delayed (by 3 working days) as Tesla stated the original vehicle I was to receive had been damaged in transit and that they would replace the car. I noticed that Tesla changed the VIN allocated to me after they nottified me about damage, indicating that I was indeed getting a different vehicle.

Has anyone else seen this? If so, do you think Tesla will replace the rear bumper?

This is in addition to some other issues which I will log:

1. Bonnet is too low and needs alignment
2. Glass backing on driver side wing mirror attachment is loose
3. Charging door need re-alignment
4. 2 dark spots on driver sear

Thanks

I had a new bumper put on mine under warranty due to paint damage. If you are not happy log it as a service request.
