Just took delivery in Fremont an hour ago. It's honestly 99% perfect, and no dealbreakers.
Hood and the bumper near hood look like they got compounded to remove scratches and not fully polished out. Should polish fine.
In exactly the right light, there are also about 3 spots on the hood that look a little cloudy or light: not sure if they need polish or if the paint is thin. But it's only visible in exactly the right light, at home just now in the driveway I couldn't see it, even when I knew it was there and was looking for it.
The right front fender, the pointiest part where it meets the headlight and the bumper is sticking out just a bit instead of being totally flush. Hard to notice for sure.
Those are both me being pretty picky in the inspection. It's the wife's car, she's even less picky than me, so we're happy. If the paint correction/PPF guys think the swirls on the front will polish out, I won't even bring it up to Tesla. If they think it's too deep, then maybe I'll pursue it, but honestly my wife might rather live with the swirls rather than risk a paint repair mismatch and be without the car for a week.
