Bumps in door frame

[NineElectrics]

Does anyone know what these two bumps are, and why they would exist in the second row driver’s door frame, but not the passenger side frame?

Spot welds.

Spot welds.

That’s cool, but why aren’t there any on the mirror door? Did something get too hot? Not hot enough? Did the robot start slacking off in protest of working conditions?

Your robot got distracted by another really good looking robot on a nearby assembly line. Sorry man…

I didn't engineer the truck guy. I don't know why they put the spot welds in the places they did. Nor can I see the whole car to see if the places where the welds are make sense. Lots of them are hidden under trim.

Those don’t look anything like spot welds to me. Spot welds should look like tiny circles pushed in not like those dimples in the picture. Plus that’s really odd place for spot welds. If they are not on other R1s then it must be a manufacturing glitch.

Are the dents pushed outward or inward like a normal dent? I only ask because I noticed we have to small bumps (dents pushed outward) on the lower part of the front, just above the grill and below the frunk. Not exactly sure how they got there so assuming the piece got bumped before assembly maybe?

Hardly noticeable so no big deal but just thought it was strange.

Mine are outward.

Isn’t the front fascia some sort of urethane or plastic?
