Wondering if anyone else has this. The driver side top hatch is misaligned with the roof, sitting a few mm lower.
Going to see if the dealer can do anything about it. Not sure it's worth the trouble if they need to source it to a body shop. Don't want them fixing one thing and messing up another.
This is the only noticeable panel I've found that is misaligned on my car. I know that no cars are perfect.

First pic shows passenger side sits flush compared to driver's side.

Hmm. Ignorance is bliss, I'm afraid to look at mine, LOL. Once folks started pointing out front bumper being out of whack, I looked and sure enough, I have the same as everyone else. I bet there are a bunch of other spots where things don't line up well too.

If it's not eye catchingly bad, I would wan't any unnecessary work on my car.

I agree with you, I love this car and realize I may be nitpicking, maybe because I'm still in the honeymoon phase lol.

Some folks were reporting early on about issues like this. Luck of the draw I suppose.

No structural issues/loose interior panels/rattling/leaking? No problem.

Adds character.

Mine is slightly lower on the passenger side.

When it is time to take delivery, I had planned to do a careful inspection of gaps, paint colors and fitment all around so if I see anything then, I can point it out and hopefully negotiate they fix it prior to any deal made so I don't have to find it later and then fight to have it corrected.
I know some things are out of my control, but finding obvious issues or misaligned panels should be correctible before I commit to a deal.

Took my car in today, said they would have to source it to their body shop. I have a few weeks to decide because they have to replace a window and window channel, but will likely decline the body shop visit - afraid of fixing one thing but adding another issue.
