UPDATE ON THE PANEL GAP:
Ok, it seems there is a lot of debate regarding the quarter panel gap photo I took yesterday. So I took a few more photos and measured the gap. In my own opinion, I can't really tell unless I put my face into it, I met another forum user today and he agrees that it doesn't look bad at all. I tried to move/push it in but there is zero movement. I was expecting this level of build quality when I submitted the order and honesty I probably won't even bother to get it fixed. However, the right turn signal really bugs me: 30% of the time it doesn't work, I had to click on a specific spot to turn it on. This would definitely be an issue I'll address with Tesla. With that being said, be your own judge at delivery and I surely hope CT's build quality improves over time.
BTW, just came back from the tint shop, tried the matte PPF film and it looks pretty good! Should I go for it?
UPDATED WITH MORE PHOTOS & FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
Ok, I drove for around 50 miles locally and here is some of my first impressions:
1. Overall Build quality: A- for a tesla, a few misaligned panels if you look closely, the right turn signal control is a little glitchy.
2. Handling: Loved the "squircle", though just a little small for my liking, I can comfortably relax both of my hands on top. Steering is extremely responsive, and the turn radius blew my 22 tundra away.
3. Acceleration: More than enough for me. The motor somehow feels louder during acceleration and regenerative braking than any tesla I've driven.
4. Attention from other drivers: Too much! Getting a window tint first thing tomorrow morning.
I took a few more photos, sorry about the poor lighting. May take a roadtrip to Sac/Tahoe during the long weekend and get a better feeling on this beauty.
Cheers! (Don't worry, won't drink and drive).
More info / Q&A:
Oh another note, when leaving the lot, I saw 3 more CTs driven in by delivery center employees. Plus the 2 being prepped, must mean 5 more lucky ones are getting their deliveries this weekend.
My garage door is 15'8''
First photos @ home in garage!

I did everything Tesla, Tesla financing (Wells Fargo, too lazy to find my own bank), Tesla Insurance (Geico is $100 more expensive per month and progressive won't insure it), maybe that contributes to the fast delivery.
Unfortunately no, the cup holder is smaller than I originally thought, the narrowest part holds a 12oz redbull perfectly.
My garage door is 15'8''
Wayyyyy better, tbh I think it feels more like a BMW X7 than and X or Y.
This is most recline I can get.
