Now you are just making shit up for the sake of bolstering your failing arguments.
I was in Monterey for the Pebble Beach events last year and the weather was wonderful the entire week. There was no 'baking hot US summer' even in the dustbowl that is the Laguna Seca Raceway where it can get to a scorching 110 degrees (enjoyed that during a MotoGP race there one year) and certainly not closer to the coast in Carmel at the Quail and down at Big Sur where the Koenigsegg spent most of its time. I bet it never even broke 80F all week.
On top of that - the car's paint was not that fresh. BC had been posting photos from the build process on LfourP in the months leading up to its August reveal and most of the car was painted well in advance of it being shipped. Cars like these take months to build - they certainly don't wait to paint them until two days before they leave the factory, not even two weeks and probably not even two months. Honestly - you two and your blind faith arguments suggesting that 'Koenigsegg can do no wrong' is getting ridiculous.
Let's not even talk about the fact that there was no way the car was US emissions legal - how much longer should the owner have waited for that to be resolved while Christian counted his money?

A paint that is six weeks old is considered fresh.
And I don't even care about the rest of what you said. It only shows how desperate you are to make anything stick.

I am suggesting the image you posted is underexposed and with so much contrast and sharpening you can't even see the tyre stamps or carbon fiber strands because it has all been blotted out by the very obvious heavy filtering. It's the opposite of taking a photo with a flash and then have a bunch of dust particles show up that you didn't notice with the naked eye. This is the same thing only someone has made sure the shadows will be as crisp as possible to make it look worse than it is.
By the way...

You've accused someone you don't know a racist jackass in this thread. What's worse, that or the suggestion that your girlfriend is perhaps not very attractive? My apologies to her if I am guessing incorrectly but you just don't seem like the type of person who would attract an attractive person.

Right... you live in Saudi Arabia and you think 80F is baking hot? 
Brand new cars sit outside in much hotter weather than that continuously and their paint does not bubble up like what you see in that photo. Also if it was the ambient temperature that caused the paint to do that, shouldn't the entire car have been covered in paint bubbles?
This is a laughable argument you have made once again but please do keep going.

I asked before - how long was the owner supposed to wait for that to happen while Christian counted his money?

You should stop making stuff up as you go along. Only makes you look like a bigger ass than you already do.

Right - the main issue was that the car was not legal for sale in the USA and who knows when it would have been, if ever. Surely that outranks the paint and scratch issue which were only moderate annoyances by quite a bit.

Please consider that usually it take even longer than this to order most standard, run of the mill, supersports cars. Unfortunately, this customers patience, ran out, much sooner than that."

Also, I checked the mirror and I do not appear to be morphing into an ass by any stretch, but its okay for you to say that because I did insinuate that your girlfriend is not very attractive.
