Spec'ing my 23' 992 GTS 4 Targa

Car arrived
My car arrived last week but the dealer is now playing games with me and there is also a backup camera issue they are trying to resolve.

Looks like we worked it out. Driving it right to Glaswerks in Northern VA to do a paint correction and full ppf. Will probably ceramic the wheels as well.

Got the car to Glaswerks and now it's dead. Seems to be a sw issue of some kind.
Also the chrono clock second hand was spinning and i could hear the parking brake trying to engage. Weird. It drove fine otherwise.

Hope this new issue gets resolved completely and quickly.

22 miles and jacked. It drove fine to the shop then wouldn't start. The second hand on the chrono clock was like the exorcist spinning at 50 mph. Very annoying, I was going to have it tinted and fully ppc'd so I could road trip it this coming weekend.

I had this exact thing happen on my BMW M550 and it was a alternator / battery failure. Low voltage, low current. systems all died, one at a time.
Given it's a new car, perhaps it's infant mortality on battery or alternator.
YMMV

This isn't a battery issue, it seems that somehow the car lost programming. This morning everything was fine so we shall see.

It seems that the software completely reset on its own. I had to go back and reprogram everything, even the tire setting needs to be done. I am going to head to the dealer tomorrow and see if they can take a quick look.

Update
When the wheels are removed you'll have to reset the TPMS. I had no idea not to mention you can't reset from the dash, you have to go deep into the menu. Also, after my initial software issues I had to start over and reset everything and now fingers crossed everything is great.
Car is now fully covered in PPF including the headlights. The Targa bar has satin film to ensure no scratches and the wheels have ceramic.
Next step is to tint all the glass.
