What world do you live in where $50k is a luxury car. The M3 is most definitely not even remotely a luxury car. It competes with hondas and toyotas. Heck even my MS is not a luxury car.

Enjoy your BMWI pulled out the calipers the fourth visit, not no aid in the decision but to record the measurements. Eye balling it from many feet enough was enough to make the decision. And also to notice front door not aligned with back door. That is 3 times the gap in one side compared to the other BTW.
Ever? Elon Musk said this:Y
Some would say you need to get over yourself if you want to ever own a Tesla.
For the taillight they took it in and claimed it was adjusted, but I saw no difference. It was not just the trim, but the whole door, the bottom of the door was lower.Both the rear gap and the door gap are easily adjusted. Did you ask? If you rejected 4, I’d blacklist you too. Question is, did you? Anyone could take those caliper pictures in the lot and post this thread. Are you for real or a shill?
Hate to even ask, but there’s a lot of false stuff posted on this forum.
FWIW, I rejected a car last year for an unfixable dent in A pillar, so I have no problem with a reasonable pre signature inspection.
Tesla is not known for perfect gaps! Perhaps one day it will be, but not today. You may get lucky and get a car with almost perfect gaps, panel and trim alignments, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Most likely you won’t. Sorry!
If this is a major priority for you, do not buy a Tesla! Other automakers have been building cars for a century, they are much more experienced in body construction and assembly.
As others said, it’s all about your personal priorities. If I am buying one of the fastest, the safest, the most efficient and the most technologically advanced car in the World, I don’t give a damn about some gap or paint imperfections. But that’s just me.
A Tesla is the most technologically advanced consumer product on the planet. If you're worried about panel gaps you're shopping for the wrong car.
A car is a very complex machine. It’s a representation of our species mastery of the sciences. Cosmetic fit and finish is subjective, mechanical reliability less so. To switch to a arguably lesser vehicle due to panel gaps is a decision I would not make, but it’s up to the OP as he is the consumer here.
I would like to offer a metaphor; would you reject a beautiful lady because of one small cosmetic imperfection? You sure could, however you would have a non zero probability of weeding out the perfect mate from your dance card.
First priority is that it functions well and the features. I do not need PERFECT gaps, just 300% is too much, maybe 50% wider on one side. I would have probably taken it even with the door slightly misaligned.
I would suggest waiting until one of the german brands comes out with an EV and taking a look then. They will have better panel gaps, and a large dealer network (and likely worse range, and slower, and not handle nearly as well, and a less expansive charging network).
