Rejected mine today as well. I was hopeful with a perfect March 31st P85D in 2015 that an EoQ X could also be good.
First, the delivery staff at Fremont were very courteous and professional.
It took just a minute or two to find so many issues with our MXP that we stopped and went in to let them know. I wasn't even sure at that point that I was going to reject it. If they'd said they could have fixed everything I certainly would have been open to the option. For instance, if they convinced me the paint defects could be fixed as skillfully as Brooks Motor Cars, one of their certified body shops that is just a block away, I probably would have taken it. But the issue that finally pushed it over the edge is that the left rear bumper sticks out about a third of an inch rather than being flush with the rear quarter panel. They said that they've been seeing this a lot this week and that they think a bad batch of bumper is to blame but more importantly, they said it's not fixable and that if I accepted the car I'd have to just live with the bumper, so the very noise delivery specialist recommended that I reject the delivery.

Detached rear left bumper. I honestly thought this would be an easy fix but they said it was unfixable.

Stuff I honestly didn't care about like:

I stopped taking pictures. The passenger side door had a pretty large scratch on the edge that was obviously damaged from the badly aligned FWD door on the passenger side.
The rear spoiler had a prominent crease on the top passenger side. None of the other spoilers seemed to have the issue. It seems like it might have been bent before it was installed.
The passenger side FWD was badly aligned on the bottom. The bottom forward edge that sits behind the passenger front door was inset about 3/4". That's not a typo.
Left headlight was not flush with the bumper. The right headlight was flush but was scratched on the top.
The drivers side FWD was PERFECTLY aligned. In fact it was the very first thing I looked at as I approached the X and I had high hopes.
The rear appliqué between the taillights stuck out about 1/3 of an inch so that you could see the foam underneath.
Lots of miscellaneous trim pieces not aligned:

There were 3 fish eyes on the front of the hood like this. There might have been more but I stopped about half way across

The paint had minor swirls from improper detailing. They had guys out there walking around wiping off the cars continually probably not realizing that they're rubbing too hard and not cycling their microfiber towelets frequently enough. I'd rather have a dusty car than one with swirls that I have to correct before PPF and ceramic.
So clearly this was rushed. Never even saw the inside. Can't imagine the issues lurking from the overall assembly.
Am I done with Tesla? Not at this point. I'm still hopeful that they can do a higher quality job of assembling a car. Hopefully a mid quarter car that isn't rushed but my fear is that the Bay Area will always get the EoQ cars because they don't need to ship those anywhere and can delivery them the day after they're done.
I ended up paying before getting there because they sent me a text that said I had to. I called them and they said I could still show up but it might be hour or more wait before I could see the car if I didn't pay before arriving. So I paid. It's not a huge deal and I'm hoping that they'll prioritize a higher quality MXP for me but that if they couldn't get me one within a month they would process a refund.
I pondered on the way home if those who've said they're cars were perfect if they really were or if I'm just being too picky and seeing things many others wouldn't have. From 5 feet away, it looks great except for the passenger side FWD alignment. If I'd accepted it instead and posted a bunch of photos from 10 feet away, I doubt anyone would have noticed.
