My first Porsche

[PhillyTCT4S]

Just wanted to post a quick pic. My first Porsche so much to learn here.

Really excited. Still not sure about the color but it's growing on me.

At 49 you can say it's my middle age crisis

Dealer getting the car ready so should be in my garage in a few days.

I loved my Range Rover LWB. Hopefully this one will be good to me too.

What would you do to this car as a new owner? I know it has PPF already.

I think it looks great. Also a newbie, and of a similar age... hrmmm....

I've only had mine for like a month. For me it's learning the quirks. We're a two driver/shared car household, and switching back and forth hasn't been seamless. It's not hard, but sometimes takes a few clicks to get the right profile/bluetooth. I use CarPlay, which sometimes lags on connecting, so I put in the time to get to know the PCM and get a decent non-CarPlay setup as a backup (one key there is there is a 2nd Home Screen, if you hit home twice, and getting the 3 widgets you like best there is nice).

I also scouted on things like how I'll deal with future service/repair work, which in my area is extremely limited (Pittsburgh). I didn't do PPF, or get the tire/wheel protection. We'll see if that's a mistake or not.

It's not my first EV, so I already had a good setup at home. If you don't, obviously that will be a thing.

Mostly I just enjoy driving it, even if it's just local city driving. Enjoy!

New model and a great color Yes, this is not my first EV I had all the Tesla in my garage before. Wife drives the Y so charging won't be a problem at home.
I have allot to learn about this car so I was reading this forum non stop for the past two days. This will be fun.
Need to look into Porsche extended warranty. Still have over 2 years but I don't keep my cars without it.
I couldn't pass on this one original owner added almost every available option. Sticker was almost 175k and two years later it's a 50% depreciation. Crazy.

Congrats! I think I saw you one day around the mainline area.

I have a CT as well, so another one, specially a green one, def. made me do a double take!

Probably it was the original owner. My car is still at the dealership for detailing before delivery.
I live in the Willow Grove area if you know that part of Philly

Yes I do, I look forward to seeing you around, either at car events or PCA events. I am in Devon, a short drive away.

Also, I traded in my range rover sport for the taycan, so we are very alike haha

Not a bad color. Interesting fact:

Mamba Green is a vibrant color with the hex code #779A20 and RGB values of (119, 154, 32). It is often associated with nature's beauty and complexity, symbolizing balance, renewal, and change in various cultures. The color is also linked to the Green Mamba snake, which represents transformation and rebirth, reflecting personal growth and inner strength.

Yep, I know where it is. I take my Tesla for service to Devon. See you around hopefully. Never been to PCA events

Regarding LR its crazy. I so got used to the huge, long wheelbase, its like a buss and drives so comfortably but for the most part I am the only one driving it and I need something exciting after 2 years. Before that I had BMW X5M it was a rocket. I miss that feeling sometimes. This car even better. It will be a fun time adjusting to this smaller size, but the comfortable massage seats will help

Very strange coincidence. I'm also mid life (53), just got my first Porsche, and moved from a Range Rover Velar. I got my Taycan in October 2024 and have been in love ever since. Congrats on the Kermit green. It's gorgeous!!!!!

I almost purchased a Mamba. I went with Frozen Berry, but it is absolutely my second favorite color. Beautiful car!!

Mamba Green was a standard color back then but they skipped it.
Now it's a PTS.
So yes, it's special.
