I bought my 3 in September 2018 and my delivery experience was completely the opposite of yours JDMDreams. I think I was in and out in about 2 hours from when we first sat down. I bought a Long Range RWD 3 and there were no issues it. After the fact I did have them make an adjustment to one of the panel gaps but actual delivery experience was great.

One thing that they really need to do a better job on though is pre delivery inspections and to stop pressuring people to take the car when it is not up to standards.

However, Tesla is far from the only company with these issues. I worked for Middlegate Honda for a little while about 15+ years ago and remember delivering a Honda Fit to someone with what looked like a cigarette burn in the paint on the roof. As the car was so new in the market they took the car under the promise of getting it repaired. Not once did I ever have anyone question things like panel gaps there, it seems like people have really focused in on this issue with Tesla's but essentially ignore it on other brands.
