Brand new '11 elantra, clock resets
My new elantra's clock (and other trip computer information settings) resets every time I restrat the motor.
I've called service, but what might be wrong?

Then try to start car and see if it still happens. If it doesn't then likely a faulty battery. Try to determine if it does it even after coming in off highway and with the battery freshly having been charged right up by the alternator. It also could be a bad connection to the battery.
But it could be something else altogether, but this is a good place for you to start. Let us know.
The vehicle was not prepped properly. The vehicle electronics are turned off during shipment to prevent a possible drain to the battery.
No need to contact or go to the dealer.
