so the owner of the white MY that posted on Reddit is blind to the mismatched doors, or they just don't care
I really think Tesla needs to drop the pearl white color. Maybe switch to a metallic white?
But looks like other models are ok on white. Is this the problem because MY are made in tents?
Took Delivery on Friday, inspection was done inside. Now that I have looked at the the paint in the daylight it appears that the doors and rear 1/4 quarter panel do not match. Am I seeing things that aren’t really there. Thanks for your opinions

yours looks great to me. I think people are noticing more on the white model because it’s easier to tell. But I have yet to hear a logical explanation as to why only white would be affected.
I would guess that every color is experiencing the some paint issues on some cars but it’s just harder to tell on the darker shades.
What is your VIN range?just walked out to my Y and yes there are a number of paint differences. Will be returning it since I have only had it since friday July 17. Very disappointed in Tesla. I currently own X model and just sold my Model 3 to buy this Y.

My Honda CR-V was white and the bumpers and body also had a slight difference in color. My previous Ford Focus ST was one of the loud yellow/orange ones, it also had a difference between the body and bumpers. I believe this is just a thing with most vehicles and not only Tesla. Now for all the other paint issues that's a totally different story.
Took delivery of MY 2 weeks ago, and was focused more on panel gaps and paint quality versus match. When I picked it up, it was in the sunlight so to the naked eye it seemed to match fine. But just like others have mentioned, once you put it under less than ideal lighting conditions, you can see the difference.
With all the issues with Tesla paint, I dropped it off to get ceramic coat and ppf. Went to pick it up today, and noticed the door not matching the paint and now it's really bothering me. It's not the detail shop to point it out to me, but I wish they would have. They also said they noticed paint tape still on the door. I wonder if this was repainted or the original paint tape. The driver side seems to be OK, it's the passenger side that it's noticeable.
I am still under the 1000 miles, so my dilemma is to return it but then I would be out the $2k I just spent for the paint protection, and would have to wait another 12 months before I could order the same trim. We have a baby on the way, so we do need a bigger car. Advice?
