New Owner 2025 Porche Taycan Base

Same boat about a month ahead of you - congrats!

In order of joy (I am an odd person fwiw)

- Swapped the OEM Conti All Seasons for Hankook Ion Evo Summers IK01 (huge improvement IMO)
- Swapped the OEM wipers for Bosch Icon (I do this on every car, again, odd)
- Sent it to my local detail shop for a ceramic coating and tint (every car)
- Blacked out side reflectors and smoked rear reflectors - https://aeroflowdynamicsoverlays.co...lector-pre-cut-overlay?variant=41784963793011
- Clear Side Markers (I think you already have these?)
- Porsche trunk box - https://shop.porsche.com/us/en-US/p/luggage-compartment-box-folding-95B044009-B/95B044009 and one off Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DZBFNVZ3?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 that sit almost flush in the trunk and won't move if you aren't having fun
- 4 cheapo puddle lights ($55 vs ~$320 OEM) for kicks, seller lets you select your design, I enjoy them - https://www.ebay.com/itm/357669401357
- Cheapo key fob shell (OEM doesn't replace the center piece) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DB4TRMX2?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1
- Mesh holders for the frunk - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XLLT91X?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
- Metal Step Caps (every car) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XJ4VVSP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
- Magsafe cell phone holder (suction that blends in reasonably on the piano black) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FDFGB2LP?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

Only other thing I'm looking for is a good sized folio for papers for the glovebox (came from a Q8 E-Tron so still adjusting to the lack of storage).

Fun accessory vid (although I think the only thing I picked up was the mesh holders) -

Have fun!

Oh and 100% install a L2 charger at home, it's also fine to just get a 240v dryer outlet somewhere accessible and plug in the adapter that came with the car if you don't want to deal with the ugliness of the box.

FWIW though if you have 350w Electrify America within reasonable distance (I've got 3 stations close to places I regularly find myself) charging for ~200 miles of range in ~10 minutes for free is fun too.

The "application" of the ceramic coating is not complicated and the product the detailers use anyone can purchase. It's the polishing and preparation of the paint with an orbital polisher which takes about 2 hours. That prep labor is most of what you are paying for when having it done by a detailer. I already had a orbital polisher and prefer doing things myself when feasible. If the car like the OP's is brand new there should be minimal polishing required if any. There are many videos how to do it yourself put out by the ceramic companies. I watched several and my car came out great with no high spots. I really enjoy detailing my car and always wash it myself but not everybody wants to spend hours doing this stuff.

Thanks for clarifying what's involved, especially if the car is not brand new.
