Hmmn, a CEL ..... Let's ask Larry to see what it might be....
And now let's see how he thinks this likely (and usually) ends at your dealership.....
(assuming you ordered option code 1FU, in which case you have the Porsche Design axe under the rear bench seat, along side the compressor)
Nothing to worry about, everything will be fine between you and your P!g.
Enjoy the new car

quick update: (work order/invoice)
Fault code was: P1281 Cooling sys. thermostat performance.
Issue: coolant leaking from thermostat housing.
Resolution: replaced thermostat housing and thermostat + drain/bled cooling sys.
Hope this info helps someone else one day with a CEL issue.
