Yeah, everything was pretty great for me too. Most panels look awesome and interior fit and finish is near perfect.
I think odds are better this was a quality control issue from the factory in the way the glass was handled.

I took delivery on the same day, 12/5. Twenty minutes after driving off the lot and with 14 miles on the odometer, someone rear-ended me at a traffic light. Damage was minor ($518 repair estimate) to bottom bumper, barely visible but there.

Mine were like someone try to remove something from the glass (outside), to be honest I had three requests to be done (small trunk alignment, the glass and a passenger side view mirror). After driving the car for about a month, I ended up cancelling the service request about a day before my appointment... barely can see now the scratches after getting tints, the trunk I was afraid they would make it worse or scratch the paint, and the side view mirror jejeje forget about it. LoL...the love for the car already surpassed those minors issues....

I believe the orange is for Y. Mine is red.Hey guys are your turn signals red or orange? I red somewhere that they changed to orange but mine are the old red ones with the brake being the same
My car was almost perfect, a spot on the frunk, misaligned trunk and needs some work on the parallel adjustment as it goes right always

When is your build date? I also thought they were starting to ship out with the new tail lights
Just found it, 11/22... does not tell me if it's early or late november. Are yours guys orange?

Well I picked up today, 12/12. And everything was great! Car perfect, no issues, 3 miles on odometer.
You can't, build date is in the driver's door sticker. I'm wondering however if it's MM/YY or MM/DD, mine is 11/22
Sorry to hear that. Super annoying. That is definitely the risk here with FL drivers!
You have good taste
I have a service appointment to address a few things in early Jan. Overall everything was pretty good, but there are a few issues I found from biggest concern to smallest:
1. Noticeable dip in frunk where it appears the panel is slightly warped; was able to make it less obvious by adjusting the "bumpers"
2. Passenger side headlight protrudes a few MM off on top; other one is spot on
3. Glass scratches on driver rear outside window (not pictured)
4. After cleaning a smudge off the steering wheel emblem (non-abrasive cleaner), appears to have defective finish with several spots now showing
We'll see what they say about these. Its a bit of a bummer, especially the glass, as I only noticed after having the car tinted. Not sure if I'll even get that fixed, or maybe try to use some polish to get most of it out. Overall, love the car and great fit and finish; I'm on the fence with trying to address the other issues at risk of screwing something else up in the process...

Ok, after vigorously rubbing the emblem with my thumb and wiping with microfiber, it now looks perfectYou have good taste

My fr
My frunk is doing the exact same thing, aligned perfectly on passenger side but uneven on driver's side. I didn't notice this until you mentioned it. I took delivery on 12/4. How long do we have to report fit and finish issues?You have good taste
