CT manufacturer flaw - Should I reject it?

[WHIZZARD OF OZ]

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.

In the photo, that 'fault' looks to be less than 5mm in length. It's been suggested that the panel be ground to remove the imperfection. If Tesla agree to perform this on both sides, you would have a truly one of a kind CT......unlike any other. Hand crafted jewellery in a way! After a while, even you might forget what it once was!
Best of luck, and enjoy every CYBERTRUCK!

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.

I believe that is simply a plastic protection that needs peeled off, but I appreciate you pointing that out. I will make sure it is what I think it is.

Thank you all for the feedback. The Tesla center indicated they have already ordered the "FIN" for replacement and asked if I wanted to take delivery or wait. I decided to take delivery this Friday. Fingers are crossed that the other marks I saw are gone.

Excellent news.

The quarter panels are double sided SS. The 1.4mm thick outer panel is laser welded to a thinner stamped SS section.

Your CT will require disassembly of the bedside to access the sail panel bolts.
