I agree with the beige over time. If you look at the configurator the chalk/black has black on the doors, so marks less of an issue as it is only the seat fronts and bolsters that are chalk plus the feature line below the dash, whereas beige has beige on the doors. I did have leather protection...
I have the 21" Taycan Exclusive in Gloss Black with black painted brake calipers. Looks pretty amazing I think. I had the black dust valve caps with the Porsche logo fitted and then added 'Rimsavers' (an alloy wheel protector made in the UK) in black which cover the outer brushed chrome part of...
I would seriously consider the two-tone leather (black, crayon). I have this and it really helps lift the interior. I have seen the neodyme in another car and it is not as 'coppery' as it seems in the configurator. Personally not a fan but I like the way you have matched it with the clock.
I...
I was never tempted by the Tesla. I sat in a Model S (admittedly a few years ago now) and the interior was really cheap - like an old taxi with Vinyl seats. Never drove the car so cannot comment on handling and performance.
This is a toughie. I have full leather and really wanted in after partial leather in my previous Porsche which always irritated me. I also have ACC but not RAS. The ACC I have found really useful in traffic especially when I have a few calls or I am listening to a Podcast. I would put that...
OK, tied to use Active Parking Support in my garage today but "Inactive as chassis height is too high". I have to raise the height due to the steep driveway, so it seems APS will only work when the height is standard. Will have a go in another location that does not have a driveway this week and...
I have the Active Parking Support but have never used it, so not sure if it would ever be useful. I was going to add it mainly because it comes with rear traffic alert.
Higher Australian spec reflects our much higher base prices! A base 4S with no options is the equivalent of US$154K on the road...
I think the white calipers look great with the Ice Grey - I saw a turbo with this combination and was very tempted! They are surface coated but not the ceramic composite. The Sport Sound is activated when you select sports plus but has to be turned on with other modes. You can set the config...
I think a lot depends on your location, how you intend to use the car and budget! In Australia we do not have packages of options, so the costs can add up very quickly (but we have a higher standard spec - Bose, mirrors, ACC, etc). For me the car is a daily driver, mainly city/motorway driving...
This must be so disappointing with such an expensive and brand new car. I presume they have given you a loaner in the meantime?
If it is any conciliation, I had major issues with my then new Panamera in 2015. After multiple trips back to the dealer this was fixed with new PCM and battery. Took...
There is a volume control on the lower screen/touch panel - bottom right, below A/C controls - + and - 'buttons'. It is not well marked but as the only driver I use the steering wheel scroller 99% of the time. If you had the passenger display I think you can also set this up to control the...
I went for the brushed aluminium illuminated sills in black - I think really add to the look of the car and you see them every time you get in and out.
I don't have the powered charge port cover - I wish I had as I think the bar that contains the sensor really adds to the look of the car...
Looks amazing.
I have not seen a Taycan in Neptune blue - really hard to tell from the configurator. In some photos is looks OK, but in others a little 'flat' to my eye.
Porsche has a good range calculator on their web site that allows you to determine the impact of the size of the wheel on the range after you have specified model (4S, turbo, etc) and the proportion of driving that you do in the city, on country roads and on the highway/motorway. It has...
I agree. Really nice spec. I have not seen this colour in real life but looks really good in the configurator with black trim. I agree, compass rather than clock as unique to CT. I think the wheels are great but I would definitely option black brake calipers rather than the standard red.
Really interesting post. You are braver than me to try your car on the track, but good to see a Porsche being used as intended. I am surprised the acceleration tailed off after 150kmh - did this seem more or less noticeable as the battery was depleted? My understanding is that this should not...
