How is the quality in your Tesla?

We took delivery of our Tesla S on 12/13/14 at the Los Angeles Service Center.


We discovered gaps between the left side wheel-well liners and the body panels and some cracks in the seams on the left side of the tailgate drainage channel and the tailgate.


Contacted Steven Chung the Delivery Specialist who referred us to Mr. Vache.  Our Tesla was picked up on Jan25.  From the phone app, the car spent most of the time at a bodyshop on Pontius Avenue in LA.  It was returned to us on Feb6.  The cracks were fixed but the gaps between the wheel-well liner and the body panels remain. 


I am trying to post some photos here.  I looked at 3 parked Tesla's and they have similar gaps.  This will allow water and debri to collect behind the liners.





The right side liner is flush and tight against the body panel; but the left side liners leave a 1/8 inch gap which allows water and debri to get under the liner and into the underside of the panels.

Would like to hear from other owners to see if this is a factory manufacturing quality problem.  Thanks.
