I also recommend the sport sound. I find I turn it on for spirited drives, and turn it off when I want a chill cruising around town drive. I also like to turn it on if I'm feeling like I want the car to get noticed, and let's face it, as Porsche drivers, we want people to admire our car.

As for ride clearance on springs, so far I haven't had an issue. I would say that any "normal" ramp or driveway should be fine, just take it slowly and at an angle. I haven't scraped yet. I also find thus far that it clears "normal" parking spot concrete bumpers (whatever those things are called) fine as well.

No clearance issues here either. I'm also very happy that all of the scrapey parts are plastics that are easily replaced, and relatively cheap by Porsche standards.

From my Research (I am no expert):

"That more-capable DC voltage converter option sells for $460. So, it’s a good thing it isn’t really needed. Even the wealthy count their spare change.
That option isn’t needed because essentially every DC charging station in North America capable of putting out greater than 50 kW is already able to put out power at “800V” so the Taycan’s default 400V 50 kW converter limitation doesn’t apply."
If you are interested in reading the entire article here is the link. https://electricrevs.com/2019/11/19/...kw-dc-charger/
That is currently true for Electrify America, EVGo, etc., but there's also reports that in the coming years Tesla might open up their Supercharger network to other brands (obviously not everything TSLA says comes true). If that becomes the case I do believe they use 400V infrastructure, so this is when it might matter.
