As long as it looks good at delivery I'm good! My car has gotten dirty before. No biggie.

The mirror easily rectified,
The license plate holder, they all do that from the factory. They assume half the people remove them in states no requirement. The other half Tesla reinforces with heavier grade two sided 3M tape because its gonna stay on in those states.
The dirt, well that just cuts down on UV fading of the paint however temporary until someone buys it.

It wouldn't bother me much as long as they do a good job cleaning it and it looks brand new.
Check the air suspension on both of them. It looks like they're sitting awfully low.

Only if I could get my car to sit that low while driving on clean clear roads of course.
Would rather it be washed once, properly and thoroughly before pickup, than quickly/cheaply several times for months before sale (inventory). We already know the paint is thin and crappy, to swirl dust into it from a detailer who doesnt care because he has 80 to do seems like a bad idea.

I have seen plenty of big-$$$ cars on open trailers going down the highway. S-Class, 7-Series, etc.
Sure, a Tesla isn’t a Chevy Malibu, but it’s not a hand-built Ferrari Enzo or a classic Deusenberg either, so it doesn’t get the enclosed trailer treatment.
Unless you want to pay a $5K destination fee.

My car was delivered at Cham SC (Switzerland) and it was a perfect surprise:

We picked up day before Christmas Eve and no bow but our car was also clean and new.
That being said, Tesla is way underwater on the delivery process. Model 3 volume shouldn't have been a surprise to them nor is it close to their initial forecasts. Just more aspects where the company self inflicts wounds due to poor organizational leadership.

That wouldn’t have bothered me one bit. Thousands of km on trains and trucks; you know it’s bound to be filthy when it arrives.

You mention 7 series. I thought "most", if not all BMWs were transported in a closed carrier. They are easy to spot the grey short coupled trailers that are grey with a bubbled front and say "BMW" on the side... I only ask because I seem them frequently.

It wasn’t just BMW vehicles on the trailer. There was the S-Class, two Jeep Grand Cherokees, a Range Rover, an Escalade, and a large Jaguar sedan. Most likely relatively new vehicles recently traded-in.
