Delivery day checklist

[mandoyoda]

It's my first time buying a new car, so I'd appreciate some help on things to look out for on delivery day in late June.

I've been through the great information posted here: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/taycan-dealer-pickup-checklist.1828/

Before delivery day, sort out:

• Car finance
• Car payment
• Car and gap insurance
• Home charging setup installed

On delivery day:

• Car inspection
• Technical run through of all systems
• Create Porsche ID
• Register Porsche Connect account
• Link car to Porsche ID
• After sales services, e.g. PVTS+, wheel protection, windshield protection, etc

Car inspection based on forum posts, check:

• Systems are working as expected
• Requested options are included, installed and working correctly
• General imperfections
• Paintwork
• Panel gaps, dents, scratches
• Wheels scrapes and dents
• Glass scratches, cracks
• Fog and misting in the front and tail lamps
• Air conditioning (refrigerant level)
• Parking and other sensors
• Cameras
• Battery range
• Battery SOC at 80% to 100%
• Battery charges from both ports
• 12V battery drain
• Rear spoiler retraction
• Sill plates
• Vibrations and rattles
• Open, close and lock boot
• Software version
• Trim panel closures and end caps
• Apple CarPlay
• Charger is in the boot

I'm guessing performing these checks will take a while, so it's good to be thorough.

On delivery day, if everything goes okay with the car inspection, I plan to have the car taken straight to the detailer for PPF and ceramic coating.

PPF tasks:

• Ask the dealership NOT to wash the car
• If wing mirrors are removed for PPF, then only the dealership can re-pair the mirrors with the PCM

Let me know if there's anything I have missed.

Plug-in and charge from both ports including high-speed charge.

Test both charging ports at the dealer and if possible at a Charging facility (i.e. instavolt, UK etc.) that you plan to use on the road and your home charger. Test charge and plug if applicable.
