Driver door hard to close
Bought my 2024 stingray two days ago. I have notice that when the driver window is all the way up and I try closing it takes a lot of effort to close it. You almost have to slam it close. If I close the door with the window down close like butter. The passenger side close like it suppose to. Any one had this problem. I'm thinking it need adjusting around the rubber area. I have 175 miles on it so I will wait and have the dealer look at it when I take it in for the first oil change.

Try re-indexing the drivers side window. It sounds like the window is not indexing when you open the door.

Mine does the same thing. You can see the window indexing whenever you open the door. It will hold that slightly lowered position until the door is shut then the window goes up again. Its not a massive amount, maybe 1/8 in.. Mine indexes the same amount on driver and passenger doors but drivers door requires a very strong pull to shut it.
I did the suggested indexing but it didn't change the amount of movement. There does not appear to be a way to set the amount of indexing, seems set in the software. I've only got close to 300 miles on mine but it seems to be improving.
When I park in my garage I slightly lower the drivers window about an inch so I'm not slamming the door. I think it just stiff new seals that will soften in time.
