Are your front and rear doors flush? I had not noticed this until I washed the truck for the first time this weekend. Are they all like this or should the doors be flush? It’s about 2mm off.

Maybe somebody with the shop manual can look it up and get the exact measurement, but from what I know, they aren't supposed to be flush. I think it helps with wind noise.

When I first looked at the photo I thought you were referring to the top trim pieces that look to be at different heights.

Well, that’s off a bit too. The front drivers is higher than the rear drivers and the front passengers is lower than the rear passengers. My 23 year old Sequoia is dead on on all those and my cars by the brand everyone points out panel gaps on are more on. One was off when I bought it and when I pointed it out a few days later they had me stop by and they fixed it in 15 minutes while I waited. I was kind of expecting the same thing from Ford but the salseman basically said if the door shuts ok to leave it alone.

Id like to see all of the people chime in that railed against Tesla's build quality. No company is perfect, not even a 120 year old company.
