wierdness in release photo

I was just looking at these photo's there something odd in the rear passenger doors, if you observe the rear driver side passenger seat switches and the other rear door's rear sides passenger switches both seems to be in different places, WTF ????? ,

Even headrests seem to be different ???

Optical illusion due to the raised panel feature and the camera angle.

I dont see the door handle part, why is there a gap between the end of the door handle and wood on one side and no gap on the other side.

The handrest is for sure an optical illusion.

Noticed it too. Maybe it's just a bad image manipulation that they did? Pay attention at the two different arm rests on each door.

Driver side seems to have more buttons. Howd you notice that in the first place?

it's all there...

at least, i bet they're identical.

the wood insert projects out from the subordinate door finish. the control assembly recessed slightly.

from the angle of the lens, the wood insert overlays the button line.

i think that's what's going on in that picture.
