I am genuinely shocked by how much attention this car attracts on a daily basis.

....But most noticeable - kids do seem to really like it (lads and girls)....

I have noticed this as well. While sitting in the bleachers at one of my 10-year old grandson's hockey games, another player's mother came up to me and said, "My son made me take a picture of him standing next to your car."

100% agree with OP. Crazy attention. I suspect the average Non Motorhead might think the Taycan is the new look of the 911. And in fact, while I still love the 911, the Taycan looks much more futuristic.

Carmine draws massive attention. Half the people don't even realize it is a Porsche. Some Ferrari or other supercar that colour. In a sea of South London grey, black and silver car mediocrity you will shine like a light house in the darkest of storms. Just watch in the rear view mirror the head turning.

my coffee beige car is what people comment on.

last spring while driving from FL to NJ I stopped in NC for a charge and the car attracted a lot of attention while I was charging and having lunch in an adjacent fast food place.

when you are in rural parts of the country the car's cost is probably close to what the locals paid for their homes J/S

Same here with Frozen Blue Metallic. When parked at a mall or sporting event I am usually surrounded by SUVs in repeating waves of black, grey, silver, white, black, gray, silver, white.....

When someone walks by my FBM CT I suspect that they are thinking, "What is this car doing here?"

That's called 'being hit on'.

Ha, ha, ha. My car has been called a Jaguar................WHAT??????? Others are amazed when I tell them that it is all electric - and some look at me like I don't know what I am talking about. It's when I tell them - 'Look - no tail pipes!' that they look confused............how could a car have no tail pipes???

In April, I parked my car at Heathrow Hilton for a week.

Having found the widest parking space, I got out and saw a guy approaching. He looked at the car and said "beautiful". I thanked him of course.

Standing next to the car and less than impressed was my girlfriend. She quickly saw the funny side and now every time we are near the car, she looks at it (and not me) and says... yep you guessed it!!

Mamba green would be a great stealth colour in a tropical rain forest, but it's going to draw a bit more attention in the UK ?

Maybe but it is the colour I like best.
Everything about my order is to please only me I genuinely don't care what anybody thinks about it

I get a bit of head turning with Gentian blue,
but not much.

What I do find (and this is completely unexpected) is that people are keen to let me pull out from junctions. Much more so than any other car I have ever driven. I think they don’t know what it is and want a closer look. Suits me though!

Slightly off topic....

Last Friday I parked up near some workmen and one wondered across in a high vis vest.

He was a (very pleasant) scouser - so you need to know the accent.

Him: 'hey mate - is it leccy?'
Me: sorry?
Him: your car.... is it leccy?
Me: ahh. Yes it is.
Him: is it all leccy?
Me: yes
Him: Just leccy. No petrol at all?
Me: yes
Him: how far can it go on the leccy?..... How fast can it go on the leccy? Etc etc.

I found it really funny.

I do live quite near to Liverpool so know that scousers shorten every word they can - so they can speak faster and say more! (I actually think Ian is quite a short name - but most scousers call me 'e'. ?)

I am also aware that scousers say leccy for electricity - but hadn't thought about my Taycan being a 'leccy' car.

They could offer the decal on the side as 'leccy' instead of 'electric' for customers in Liverpool.

Plus with the new PCM it now has a "colour TV" in the cabin.

What's a scouser?

 

[LeftCoastElectric]

Interestingly enough, my Dolomite Silver is doing exactly what I want. Doesn't stand out, but those people who stop and take a long look love it.

What's a scouser?

If you're into UFC, see Paddy Pimblet.

If not, watch him on a few YouTube videos and you'll quickly understand what a Scouser is.
