DeWalt DWE7485 table saw quality issues

Good call!
However, I'm not going to actually use it until I have decided to keep or return the thing. A return is easier when it is clean.
Meanwhile I wrote to DeWalt via their website "Contact Us" page. I have asked what the spec is for the table top's flatness, and questioned why they are saying on their web site it is accurate, as it cannot be with a wobbly top!
I have bought it specifically to make a kitchenette for my camper van, and some other furniture, out of 12mm birch ply. I'm still debating the joinery method to use. However, general DIY activities aside, it'd be nice to think it capable of better things, and there is no reason why not - if the bed was true. Everything else, pretty much, can be improved.
Many people say it's a jobsite saw, so what do you expect? I say it should live up to its price point and reputation. Top say nothing of the manufacturer's claims! If I just wanted something to rip a few timbers I'd have bought a Titan or other such trash. Actually, no, I'd have used a chop saw...
