Is Cybertruck DIY friendly? Uses standard fasteners, bolts, screws and torx type?

Does it appear that the Cybertruck uses standard fasteners? Bolts, screws and torx type stuff. My first thought when I saw a pic of a drivers door not closing flush was that it looked like a simple latch adjustment. I don't think I would be able to resist the urge to dive into the toolbox and try to make a slight adjustment myself. I understand that we shouldn't have to but, driving around looking broken for days/weeks waiting for a service appointment vs taking a crack at the adjustment. I feel like it would be worth at least a try. Maybe it requires more specialty tools and knowledge than the average shade tree mechanic has.

I'd say yes, based on past experience with Tesla vehicles and what I've seen in the available CT teardown videos, everything looks very standard and straight forward.

Hi. Curious if you tried to adjust driver door? My door sticks out a tiny bit, pondering some self help. Thx

Still waiting for VIN in Oklahoma. My question was a general question not related to my personal vehicle.
