Hi,

I am trying to build a sweet spot config under 100K.

The only prerequisite is the Chalk/Crayon color and I like the electric mirrors in the same color as the car and of course air suspension. Other than that nothing is fixed. Try to avoid the basic wheels as well.

Questions:

If choosing between adding surround view or the sports chrono and switch which wou you choose

In choosing sports chrono vs extra screen which would you choose

Would you add the ambient lighting package or is this not much added value? Maybe add power steering plus instead?

Porsche Codes of what your sweet spot config would be are very welcome.

I have to lock in by tomorrow evening.

I had the same goal in mind when configuring my RWD. I would have made it but for my last minute decision to buy a set of mission-e's for summer driving fun. Chalk is a great color and my favorite is chalk with chalk interior but you will never stay under 100K if you go full leather. So here is my recommendation: chalk exterior, standard black interior, premium package, insulated glass, air suspension, sport aeros (these really look nice with chalk). Probably want to add a heated steering wheel as well. With above, you're under 100K. If you go either full leather or performance+ battery you will be a tad over the mark. You also want the lane change assist as you can't see much out the windows. With the premium package, you get the cool headlights, ambient lights inside, bose, surround view, etc -- pretty much all the stuff that you would expect to have on a 100K car. Sports chrono, IMHO, is something I would gladly pay not to have. Personal preference, but I can't stand the analog dial on the dash and I think that the little manual knob on the steering wheel looks like 1990's tech (completely out of place on the Taycan). Also, the extra screen was tempting, but it adds no functionality and the passenger riding shotgun will never be able to resist putting their grubby fingers all over the screen! Good luck and please post your final config!

Thanks for your reply!

We don’t have premium pack over here it seems. Doesn’t matter I don’t want the pano roof anyway.
The analog clock defines Porsche a bit but you are right I could use that money to add lane assist.

Appreciate you want a few different things - always the case.

Very happy with mine and would change very little.

Thanks for your effort - I personally like the Chalk/Crayon more... I will look at your other choices :)

Thanks for your effort but I can't load your code in Belgium... must be something on it that I cannot select (probably the premium package)
We don't have premium package in the UK either.
Sorry the code doesn't work for you.

I probably will add the grey tint on the windshield... I won't add the privacy I think because I won't take the pano... also won't take the performance battery plus... my driving profile doesn't require it... (small distances in Belgium) ;) - leaving those 2 out what would you add in replacement? I'm curious :)

It worked when I just opened the default website... not the country specific one...
