Took delivery, door frame well paint normal?

Hi Everyone,

Just took delivery last Sunday. I noticed the door frame in the front and passenger side the paint is missing? Is this normal? Not sure as I don't have another Model Y's door frame well to compare to.

Another angle showing both front passenger side the door is half painted in MSM and beige on the other half side, the other door is completely beige and the car color is MSM.

Looks like a service order in progress to me

Ok thanks my buddy showed me his M3 and it doesn't looks like that. Just updated service apt notes I already have one scheduled to fix other stuff.

Can you see it with the doors closed?

If not, I'd absolutely leave it alone. You don't want them attempting to paint that at this stage, you'll just end up with overspray, assembly damage, and chances of other things going wrong. All cars have some areas with primer exposed under the hood, in door jams, etc.

My advice, leave it be.

Thanks, do you think that area would rust under rain or moisture? I was concerned about having them fix it too since I can't noticed it as much. I was thinking about not having them fix it as well but at least have it documented so if it does become an issue down the road I have written record and possibly have them fix it later as an issue.

No need to worry about rust, that’s the primer coat you are seeing. There should not be any exposed metal. I agree documenting can’t hurt, I did that with a few small issues myself.

Thanks Tim.

I agree with leaving it alone. The possibilities of a botched "repair" are just too great.
