White rear bumper: Color mismatch, Gap and Movement issues

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I picked up my MYP in March 2023 and white rear bumper color mismatch is still real after all these years Model Ys been in production. Has anyone been able to get Tesla to replace the bumper with matching color, not going with repainting route?

Also, it appears that the rear bumper under the tail lights is attached by black plastic clip. In my case there’s a sizeable gap between the tail lights and the bumper and bumper is not fixed tight to the body of the car. There is a good 1/4in of movement when I try to push or pull around this area of the bumper. I requested service appointment and I have a strong feeling Tesla will just say this is within spec. Anyone got any thoughts on best way to repair this defect?

Howdy Peeps,

Has anyone else noticed the colour difference between the body and the bumpers ? I’ve noticed this a few days after taking delivery and having parked the car in the shade. The body is slightly more grey than the bumpers (both front and back)
Anyone else with a White MOdel Y that recently took delivery that has this issue ? (If yes, can you post photos?)
