Well this is the trick they normally do. The delivery associate will tell you anything and everything you want to hear. Then when you come back for the service appointment, the tech will tell you "within spec". Especially for panel alignments, they will tell you upfront it will be fixed, and then the tech won't do it when you come back.
Keep it! It will be a collector’s item. How much you ask? Think of the Penny that has been mis-stamped and it worth thousands!I visited my CT in the lot before they had a chance to clean it up. There are some "smudge/scraps" I think will come out when they detail it. Unfortunately, there is a dimple/nip on the back passenger fender. I am uploading both a cropped picture of it and the full picture of it so you can download it and zoom in. If you really zoom in you will see that the whole area looks stressed even above the nip. If I reject it, I have no idea when I would get a new one. I saw someone indicate it was 6 weeks. Also, will a new one have worse issues. I also have a truck I am selling to Carvana which is due to be turned in this coming Tuesday. We have several cars in our family, so I could survive a couple of months without a truck. Let me know what you think.
The number of people who say they've had service centers fix things means that no, they're not always just gaslighting you.
I didn't say "always"
I think this is the answer. Though small, it's now taking up a bigger space in your head than warranted. I think grinding your own profile on it (and a match on the other side) could be a cool solution, though.
Thank you for that point, I did not contemplate that issue completely. I am still on the fence, but I notified the service center and I am waiting their reply.
I have no idea how or what it will take to replace the panel and if there might be a different hue to the stainless steel as it will be from a different lot. I guess we will see what the customer service center says.
I think the biggest factor for the matching of the panels is that they refinish the old and new panels together. Knowing that they have to do that, they may even hold back your delivery until they can get that panel so that they don't have to refinish the truck twice (they already do it once during delivery prep).
Just what is going on here? It's not like they aren't used to delivering MILLIONS of painted vehicles without denting and scratching the hell out of them......
H*** no. I would pay extra for that...and all the scratches on the mirrors and plastic part from 4wheeling to boot. I'm not gonna treat this like I do my Model 3.I visited my CT in the lot before they had a chance to clean it up. There are some "smudge/scraps" I think will come out when they detail it.

What’s up with that clear wavy bubbly glue they used to attach that panel? Model three is a lot cleaner than that mess, don’t accept. LOL.Also, Does anyone know what this means written on the CT. All of the other trucks in the lot only had WC, not the term "No ASN" or " Z7" both crossed out.
Oh, I think it really comes down to individual preference. Nobody is going to make you accept it, if you don't like it. That means it comes down to practical considerations:
