The car is still breaking in so the iron, copper, and silicon are from the break-in process.

TBN looks ok but I wouldn't go much past 3k miles on this (I'm sure that's your plan anyway). OAI will flag TBN if it drops below 2. Although the rate of TBN depletion isn't linear and it could drop off very slowly over the next 1,000 miles.
Love that ZDDP! There's more in this oil than in Rotella!

Did they flag oxidation at all? If they did, it's not really a problem since oxidation numbers on ester based oils read high from the start. There's a technical paper or two out there floating around about it.
