- GL63 Brabus B63 Widestar, Awaiting Taycan Turbo

Exciting day today - finally got a brand new, leftover 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo for my wife. It's been a very unusual selection process - the criteria was a new car and started with a Toyota Camry. It then moved to a Toyota 4Runner, Porsche Macan and finally the VW Atlas. The VW dealership also has a Porsche dealership attached, and my wife spotted the Taycan (not even being considered) and fell in love.
2-3 months later (I lost count) after agreeing to purchase the car - rear cracked windshield, software update (recall), steering wheel adjuster control, broken visor clip, keys (new ones needed as they drained the battery in a day), etc. - all with the shortage of parts took that long (multiple re-orders of parts).
I now have to bring it back in for:

I now have to bring it back in for:
- another broken visor clip (no idea how it happened, could have been the detailer that did the final clean)
- rear ticking sound which thanks to this forum means an air hose is pinched
- Clear side marker
- Taycan Turbo sticker in silver (OEM)
- Mission-E wheels (all black)
- Porsche seat back protectors and seat protectors (for child seats)
- Suncoast screen protectors (which are amazing btw, crystal clear and zero issues. Just takes a bit of time to make sure no dust gets underneath).
- Warning triangle for front trunk area (European one - and then after getting the car realized there already is one on the driver's side compartment - but the European one is a neat red one)
- Porsche LED door logos for all 4 doors
- Porsche winter floor mats - though I am contemplating the WeatherTech ones as these don't have the lip/buckets to catch everything. Need to find that post where someone had custom decals made for it.
- Key covers to protect the keys (aftermarket Amazon)
- 2 PMCC's and 2 docking cabinets
- PPF (getting this done in a few weeks - full car)
- Window tint (35% front/rear + 70% windshield - nano ceramic)
- Fidelity extended warranty 10yr/100k miles
- Probably going to self-insure the wheel and tire
- License plate frame - WeatherTech in Black
