It’s standard practice for wrap shops to take before and after pics—specifically for this reason. Ask them for intake pictures. I’m skeptical that the truck was delivered like that, but, also wouldn’t be surprised if it was. ?
Either way, it’s a fixable problem so no sweat—put the onus on Tesla...
I can’t recall specifically where on the Tesla site that I read about it, however, all service release notes can be found here: https://service.tesla.com/docs/Cybertruck/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-58B67760-D8F5-4178-BA12-93ACE9831C0F.html
You can see that they are pretty extensively improving...
That said, you could pay me to charge and I still wouldn’t get a Foundation, based on past experience. Plus, the biggest benefit of Tesla ownership is home charging for me. My foundation was in service 12 times during the 11 months I had it.
I had a Foundation AWD (VIN2154) and now have a (VIN60690) 2025 Beast—the quality is SIGNIFICANTLY different. It’s important to get a model past the December 2024 production change in my opinion. Pay extra and get a brand new 2025.
Well mine got bought back for 100% of cost because first service request was day after delivery. Plus, they let me keep all of the extras. I now have a non-foundation beast for pretty much the same price, all while getting to drive around the best car ever earlier than most! Despite it all...
Tesla bought my original back. 12 times in service. Almost every panel on left side became loose or fell off including multiple problems with both doors. Eventually it was like, am I going to have to come in to retighten every screw over the duration of ownership?

I found this part cleaning my brand new non-foundation beast (original Foundation VIN2154 got repurchased by Tesla).
I can see a description for C-Pillar but have no idea where it actually belongs.
Just happened to mine yesterday. VIN 2154, about 9,800 miles. Just wanted to post for documentation purposes.
Tesla service center is closed in Rocklin because it’s under construction. I called Sacramento service and they had me tow it to Stockton and they expedited the service appointment...
Non-influencer here (but super cool dude). I got it pretty much immediately. VIN 2154. I use FSD on my 23 Model Y as well all the time so wondering if usage factors in.
