My e-tron premium plus, vin 8xxx, has a panel that sticks out at the bottom of the driver's and the passenger's doors. I wonder how it passed inspection at the factory. Or possibly, it had minor collision when en route. Obviously, I didn't notice the problem when I picked it up from the dealer's last month. Has anyone else taken delivery of a car with this problem?

Driver's side
Now you got my attention. I found the same issue on my driver’s side. Exactly like your picture. I wiggle it to see if it is a loose panel, but it does not appear to be loose. Seems to me that the plastic is deformed. I will try a heat gun to gently warm it up and push it in place flush with the rear panel and call it a day..

I wouldn't mess with it. Just let the people who made it make it right! You paid $80K+.
