Scratches on trunk door latch matching the grooves on trunk floor latch

I have a Gravity Grand Touring. Only used for 1,500 miles. The trunk latch part on the door side has 4 gnarly tiger claw scratches on it. They exactly match the grooves on the latch on the trunk bed floor. So it’s 99.9% certain that the door is maligned and too close to the floor, scraping it every time it is opened and closed.

Is this something urgent that needs to be fixed? Will the scratches eventually get so deep that the whole locking mechanism breaks? I know I can just book an appointment, but the earliest appointment is two months out, and I don’t want to be another victim of leaving my car in the shop for 2 months to fix something that might be inconsequential.

This is a lease, by the way, so they better not charge me for this damage when I return it. It ain’t user error. It’s a poorly aligned door. I have a few panels on the outside of the car that are also poorly aligned.

Creaking noise from front seat of Gravity GT

My Lucid Gravity GT 7-seater only has 1,500 miles and it makes this incessant creaking noise from my driver’s seat every time I accelerate or go over a bump. Anyone know how to fix it? Should I spray some oil on some joints?
