I also went for the Olea leather, but still follow Tyler on his view here. I don't think it will make a huge difference, when standard leather definitely also is of good Porsche quality as usual. The most obvious difference, except for a slightly different patina over time, is that Olea has this...
Came to think about something regarding the StarWars stormtrooper from the Porsche comercial: Those white helmet soldiers are the elite shock troops, or space marines if you like, of the Galactic Empire under leadership of Emeperor Palapatine herunder Darth Vader & co (equal to the bad guys)...
@Scandinavian Thanks! Then I pretty much have an idea of your total cost on PPF. Your solution sounds like a perfect protection match for the Taycan. Maybe I'll go another round myself before I make the final conclusion for my own Porsche. As you say; not cheap - but we'll be worth it. At least...
Thank you for the support and your input, which I appreciate!
I have also seen what an unexperienced installer can do to the paint, and I certainly will not trust anyone near my new Porsche with something sharp unless they know what they´re doing. So, you are absolutely right the experience of...
The StarWars-fan grand kids must be on another planet, you taking them for a ride in the Porsche and switching over to the spaceship sound from the Taycan ‘motor’ simultaneous taking off with launch controls - huh? ;) Guess you must be a popular grandad!
It all looks great, I must say - nice touch indeed. Thanks for sharing!
I also have been thinking of an workaround to the large license plates we are forced to use here in Europe. It is a somewhat violent against the gorgeous Porsche front.
I’ve attached screenshots from YouTube, of a smaller...
First of all, I posted my statement because I mean to much of world production moves to China – which I am much against. Firstly it´s about PRC lack of human rights, secondly because communism and totalitarian closed regime, thirdly because lost jobs in Europe an USA when production are moved to...
I kind of dislike Porsche and their owner Volkswagen company have such focus and priority on China, especially these days. I find it rather disrespectful that other countries which have been their main customer for several decades, have to wait for the latest news and options. Heaven forbid...
I´ve had paint protection film mounted on my latest vehicles, due to haters seem to love scratching car with a key or whatever. I don't know what the idea or fun about damaging others property is, but that what the world has come to I guess. Sadly, this is in a way included part of the economics...
I am an audiophile sound enthusiast, not an engineer, and I totally support your view Edmund: It all comes down to priority (and your wallet). First I went for the Bose regarding the total cost, mainly to please the economist I'm coincidentally married to - which system I must emphasizeis is not...
Perhaps I'm just finding up vicarious motives to my self, justifying the missing air ventilation due to the electrical fuel door: But maybe there is a chance for that the vehicle will become less dirty around the door area, since airstream from the wheels are blocked. At least that would be...
I think the electrical fuel door is rather cool actually, despite the lack of real ventilation system through the wheel arch. Also, in my area there are too many haters which would love to brake off the manuell charging door, obviously when open. All in all, it ain´t so bad after all. Still, I...
I preferably like design with a purpose, so if there is an explanation for this issue, it feels somewhat relaxing. Personally I think it looks better, when the air ventilation is open right through.
First, I thought maybe this had to do with the ceramic brakes are more resistant to heat, and so...
One strange thing I never noticed until this video, is the odd and surprising difference on the Taycan:
- The Turbo has open space between inside the wheel arch and through the ventilation to the front door.
- The Turbo S however, has no opening in the wheel arch and the ventilation near the...
Informative video above, since I haven't had any HUD in my previous vehicles. Some law firms question that head-up-display might cause distracted driving, probably due to several accident investigations. However, more research is needed to conclude, if even possible...
I agree with the forum on the disappointment regarding HUD, so this was relief news. Below picturing a comparison from a different angle. It also seems like the HUD needs a little extra height to fit, which might steal somewhat of the front view. Furthermore, it looks like the current dashboard...
Here is an interesting article about "Personal insights into the development of the first all-electric Porsche", including enlightening information about Olea leather:

Summarized excerpt...
While awaiting my black Taycan Turbo S to arrive hopefully in July/August later this year, I've searched and watched most YouTube videos on this vehicle. This 50 minute long documentary from "WELT Nachrichtensender" had premiere May 3rd, is most interesting and well worth watching. The language...
