Seems to me if I were a seller with an item as popular as this car I would offer to fix it at my cost, and sell it at the same price agreed upon. If the customer didn't like that option he could order a new one for MSRP and wait, or simply do without. The car isn't going to sit on the lot more than a couple days so I don't think we as consumers have an awful lot of leverage here.

Sucks to hear about this happening, but I think you should just let them fix it, inspect it top to bottom, and then ask for, but not expect some free oil changes or something nominal like that. Money off the car is cash out of the dealers pocket...free services are valued much more to the consumer than they are to the dealer just based on the markup, so they are much more likely to deal that way.

Good luck bro
Ok Doc Holliday has it nailed.

If you hadn't been there and it happenned you would never have known unless they told you. It won't affect the performance of the car one iota. They can fix it good as new.
I've had 2 brand new vehicles damaged before I took delivery. The dealer was upfront about it and fixed both. I accepted it and moved on.

To all those that are telling you to do this and do that and demand this would be the first to cave if the situation happenned to them. The internet has a way of giving courage where there is none.

You have the last decision here. If it's painted good as new then it's new.

Rob and my 2c.
