I'm having trouble finding discourse on this, so I'm creating a new thread. I noticed after picking up my Taycan that the driver's side and passenger's side door has a very noticeable panel gap between the metal door frame and the big plastic trim. I sent my dealership a picture, and they said they thought this was normal.

The gap is so wide that I can pretty clearly see bits and pieces of the car. That said, it's only noticeable if you're essentially laying on the ground looking up at the car. Do others have this as well? Is this normal?

Here’s a reference: my photo from beneath the driver's side door.

It literally takes 2 minutes to take the door panel off (I've done it multiple times when I had a rattle) its just 2 screws and then some banging with your fist to move the door panel upwards, then maybe 4 minutes to put it all back, I'm sure they can take a quick look even if you show up unannounced, or do it yourself (check YouTube). When you put the doorpanel back, there are a couple plastic hooks that need to slide down ... perhaps one of them wasn't aligned correctly and is causing the gap.
