    Update:
    They inspected the car and said that everything looked good. The service advisor mentioned that it was most likely the cosmoline burning off. I'm optimistic and am hoping for a trouble free future with this car. Thank you all for your comments. :)

    I smell something burning immediately (15-30mins) after it's fully charged, inside the car. It's less than 2 weeks old, so maybe the smell will go away, hopefully.
