I don't see Oak Green on the color options list in the US configurator.....I have a 2020 4S in Mambe Green, and would look forward to migrating to Oak Green on my next Taycan.
I believe that Oak Green Metallic is available in the US as a Paint to Sample color.

Thanks for sharing. I really like the colour but would hesitate to pay the premium over other metallics - there is no reason for it. Mamba should have been replaced with this colour (sorry @f1eng) as I think it would be really quite popular .... perhaps, that's Porsche's ruse of course!
I know of somebody who chose the colour from PTS on his CT4S, and I do like the shade but was not prepared to pay £8k for it but would have chosen it on a v2 if I wanted one.

Isn’t it the same extra price as Crayon which isn’t even metallic never mind as spectacular as that photo.

I am still happy with my Mamba car, none of the v2 improvements are relevant to my use. The only thing that I am concerned by is that were mine to be written off there are literally zero used cars on Porsche GB’s list that have all the must have and must not have options or even the most important of them so I’d be Taycan-less.

The problem is that when you get lot's of snow and use the front wipers in certain temperatures you will get ice buildups on the front window. This is due to the fact that there is no heating in the front window where the wipers rest and/or heat in the wiperblades. It's not a huge problem, you can turn down the cabin temp and most of the problems goes away. But in this pricesegment this should not be a problem.
The millions of miles of testing including cold weather testing in the Arctic (as we are told) clearly would have picked up on this....

It is available globally..we have it within "Shades" which is a lot cheaper than PTS, PTS still exists as does PTS plus. So no restrictions.

The new one is called oak green metallic neo, which is a slightly different tone compared to the non neo one, a bit brighter.

All the pictures I'm seeing of this increase the fun of waiting on mine, I just love it.

Sorry, I also ordered the illuminated Porsche on the back ? Coming from a Civic Type R, so it's just a very mild optical effect I'm adding - I thought.

You would think so. But I am not the only one who has this problem.

Oak Green metallic is similar, but a bit warmer. than the Porsche Racing Green metallic on my '09 911S...I would love to get a Taycan in Oak Green Metallic to sit alongside my 911.

It shows up in the Legends section for me in the US along with Chalk and Shade Green Metallic. The markup is $2,850 USD.

I could have sworn I saw an option for heated wipers (via the windshield). Can’t find it in the US configurator. (It is available on the Macan EV, screenshot below.)

The wipers are not heated with this option. I have it my my wife's existing Macan and clears the frost from windscreen / shield only.

The colour is as lovely in the pictures as I knew it would be. They have still lost something from that front end though, in terms of design. Good write up thanks

Will stick to my MY23 for a few years yet!

does the 2025 still have the same silly contraption for the wireless phone charging that melts your phone and it takes about four hours to get your phone in and out?
