They owe you a new steering wheel, that is not normal.

My guess is someone has manoeuvred the car by pulling on the steering wheel - that is way out of true!

Or used it as a hand-hold to lift themselves out of the seat...

My M3W had the same issue. I bought it used though. I replaced it with a wood Moto- Lita.

That's clearly damage and not a manufacturing defect. I think the factory export the cars with a longer bolt through the quick release boss to avoid the wheel being stolen or lost from the car.
I'd hazard a guess that between the factory gates and your eager hands upon delivery, 'someone' has attempted to get in & out without the wheel being removed & caused the damage.
It may also be that someone has pushed the car using the wheel to steer & pushed or pulled too hard.
I've fixed your video link, too. Shame I can't fix your wheel..!

Yes, that looks bent! Strange, as I'm pretty sure my stock steering wheel would survive a truck driving over it...

Sorry, that's nonsense. They must not do that!
I hope it's only the steering wheel that is bent.
