Which option did you have the hardest time reaching a decision?

[B61]

Nice to hear another Taycanite that cycled through colors but landed on Ice Grey Metallic! good taste!

oh yeah…colours.
it was the hardest decision…at the end, my wife decided (as i already said several times: happy wife, happy life).

On my list, there were:
- mamba green (couldn’t find olea leather that would match; beige is too bright, hard to clean)
- chalk/crayon
- ice grey
- neptune blue

I’d probably go with neptune blue (+ truffle brown olea), but when I saw my car in person, I’m even more satisfied with my wife’s decision.

Agreed.
I drove sedan with pano roof…it looks great, but i’m still worried about the sun/heat during summer.
i have pano roof in my Koleos…but I can “close” it. It’s definitelly more hot in the cabin, but I do hope that Porsche made it better, much better than Renault. Afterall, Taycan is almost four times more expensive

i’ll see that next summer.

The panorama roof is also ok in summer. You can feel the sun but it's not hot. The interior remains pleasantly cool.

I am still struggling with the purchase of rear wheel steering, for which I also need air suspension. I'll probably go for it but am sooo over my budget already with the 2 premium packages, custom paint, full leather, etc

Both are VERY nice to have IMO

For me it was:

1. Color (Gentian blue vs ice gray vs Neptune blue vs dolomite silver)
2. Interior (leather vs standard)
3. Wheels (Mission E vs Taycan exclusive)

In that order!

1. Interior: Truffle Brown Olea v Bordeaux/Black (went TB)

2. Wheels: 21s v 20s taycan turbo (21s)

3. Exterior: chalk v dolomite v volcano (chalk)

Is the truffle brown a dark brown in reality? It looks almost as dark as the black to me in the UK configurator. I like the idea but don't want a dark interior.

Whether to go full blackberry for the interior, it looks so good with Neodyme accent!
Well I eventually opt-ed out of it... blackberry doesn't go with the frozen blue exterior color.

I’ll let you know when I receive it for sure but alas dealing with the delays.

What exterior color did you end up going with?

gentian blue - looks amazing and no regrets

No, truffle-brown is definitely not dark.
IMO, blackberry is darker than truffle brown.

Thanks.
I am looking for the minimum amount of black but a cool pale interior. The beige still looks the palest overall but I like the non-black dash of both Blackberry and Truffle brown.

 

[B61]

Blackberry would be even my 1st choice, but it's not available in olea leather.
I'm expecting my car to be delivered by the end of this (or next) week, but I've already seen him in person. I've never seen blackberry, but I'm very glad of truffle-brown.

 

[What'sTaycanSoLong?]

I decided pretty quickly on color (Dolomite) model (CT 4) and getting the Premium and Technology packages.

I spent considerable time debating sport sound, sport chrono package and deletion of model designation (opted yes on all of these).

The option that gave me the most angst was the wheel. I didn't want to go with the 21" for various reasons but for style of wheel, I struggled and still am although I am leaning towards the CT Turbo S wheel

My first inclination was the off road design but opted against that because it looked a bit stark and thought the open design would be harder to keep the wheel clean with the brake dust.

I next moved to the Turbo S but moved off of that because the black plate seemed to stand out to much and with no offense looked like a large black glossy hub cap.

I am now leaning toward the Turbo S wheel because there is enough going on on the surface to break up the black glossy plate.

Which option or options caused you to struggle with the most?

You know this was the toughest thing for me; wheels. I hate to say it but they all look pretty poor irl, I was so disappointed by the CT Turbo wheels which I was initially set on. They look so plastic! So Turbo S for CT became the default purely because there's no better choice. I can't justify the 21s and if my exterior colour choice worked with the off-roads I'd probably pick those but I don't think they work with the various silver/grey options I prefer.

On colours I saw a beautiful ice grey saloon next to a volcanic grey CT at the dealership and was really badly torn between the two when a customer's dolomite silver drove in. Done. Soon as I saw it. Seriously beautiful and a grand cheaper than ice grey! Incidentally my dealer then showed me a green saloon with bordeaux interior plus green wheels. I think it's variously called Hulk/The Frog/Watermelon - looks amazing. I mean, not my taste at all, but looks stunning. I'd be afraid of someone taking a key to it and the resale value too but if you've got the stones just go for it

We arrived at the same conclusion. Dolomite with Turbo S wheels. Maybe its because I was born in Dundee.
