Under-trunk / sub-trunk / trunk cubby - Same size on all Taycans?

[Watchesandburgers]

The under-trunk / sub-trunk / trunk cubby (what’s the most common name?) storage is quite small. Is it the same size in all Taycan models? Does the rear-axle steering option or larger motor in the Turbo models impact this space? What do people store in it? Not sure the Porsche Mobile Charger+ would even fit. TIA!

Can’t answer the other questions, but I store my public charging cable in it. I don’t even take the PMC with me as it’s ridiculous

I believe the size is dependent on the audio selection. For example, I think the base audio cubby is larger than the Bose because the Bose sub takes up some of that space.

Same in all.variants.

Called a 'luggage compartment floor'.

I store my public cable, screen cleaner, walking sticks and a spare tyre inflator there. Not intended for the EVSEs - this should go in the frunk if you carry it around (I don't as mine is in my Porsche Dock for home charging).

My SA explicitly told me not to store the EVSE in the frunk!

Why? Perfect spot for it and the bag it comes in otherwise you lose much of your trunk space.

temperature ? too hot in summer or too cold in winter?

Unlikely

That's my understanding and IIRC the depth is approx. 15cm /25cm with/without the sub.

That’s incorrect.
If you take the base sound system, the underfloor is way bigger.
That’s the only reason why I didn’t option the Bose.
Just skiing now and I placed in it for the travel 2 ski boots, an helmet and 3 big shoes to walk in the snow.
That’s a big space that I like to use and as we are not difficult with the sound system and never play loud, it’s fine for us.

I think the difference is marginal if not the same. I have the Bose and don't have storage challenges for what I use that void for.

If the numbers from @WuffvonTrips are correct, it’s a 66% increase for the base audio.

I have Bose and am fairly certain I could not fit all of the things @FredC057 listed.

Doesn’t sound marginal (or same).

Definately much larger storage volume with the base audio system.

There is a reasonably big difference between standard audio cars and those with a Bose or Burmester “sub” (not that the sub is actually big enough for real bass rather than a lowish boom)
A real subwoofer would need to be about half the volume of the whole boot but DSP can do a reasonable job these days.
There is plenty of room in my car with the (perfectly good enough for a car IMO) standard system, it is about 10” deep.

This might be where I got my numbers from-
