EDIT: for a car that supposedly has terrible paint and body panel gaps that are at least 3/4" off, I think that looks downright great!

I love that stuff. I use one microfiber to apply, another clean-dry one to immediately remove and buff. Two coats really does the trick with 3 in 1 Griots.

The shine with this stuff is flat out fantastic. Detail guys that use the electronic gloss sensor always get very high readings. Some tests I've seen show that properly applied Griots 3 in 1 come amazingly close to the multi step process that produces a 1 day "car show shine".

@Cujet and @SammyChevelleTypeS3 our car is perfect. We bought it in late Dec 2018, to take advantage of the $7,500 tax credit subsidy. I was not planning on buying a car; we just went to check Teslas out on a lark. I didn't even test drive one as I had had surgery and couldn't drive.

We had to take physical delivery before Jan 1st or the subsidy would be halved. It was the only white Mid Range (RWD) with alloys and EAP. There were other colors (black was standard at the time) and cars with the 18" std (ugly) wheels. Our car had literally just came off the Fremont assembly line. People were buying like crazy; the computer showed inventory and it changed by the minute.

They delivered it to our home a few days later. The cars were more expensive then; Elon was milking the Federal subsidy. Our car is perfect. My body guy does all the high end cars for local dealers; he said our's is one of the best he has seen. The Model 3 is a great car and is tons of fun. I let everyone try it out just to see the look on their face. I know I have sold at least 4 cars for whacko Elon.
 
Looks like it, not no. My finger is on hard plastic. I am pressing firmly. Rubber strip covers part of it.

That rubber strip is mounted proud to that threshold as it appears in the picture. Something to keep an eye on as it looks like wear is visible on the last picture with your feet showing.

Gummi Pflege would be good for that.
 
I could see in the pictures that the car looked perfect. Hence my little joke. I think it looks fantastic.
I knew you were kidding; so was I.
But remember it is gonna self ignite and explode sooner or later... Just a matter of time! At least the paint will be well protected.
