We took delivery of our Model S in Los Angeles on 12/13/14. I would suggest to any new owner to inspect the car before signing papers and handing over any balance due. They asked us to arrive early, which we did and sat for 45 min (until after our original appointment time) to start the process. Thought the invite to come early means we can start early. Nope. The car was dirty and we had to wait for the detailer to come back from lunch to clean it up.
We contacted the Delivery Specialist Steve Chung when we found some gaps on the left side wheel-well liners and a couple of cracks in the seam in/around the rear tailgate. Tesla picked up the car on Jan25 and returned it on Feb6. The cracks were fixed but the gaps in the wheel-wells are still there. We are asking them what to do next.
I saw the same problem in 3 parked Tesla's so the wheel-well liner gaps might be a factory quality control problem. Here are some photos. The silver trim on the rear windows were also not aligned with the trim on the C Pillar. Notice the variation in the door gap from left side to right side. 1980's American car quality? But the car does drive and ride nice.
