    Upholstery quality?

    I agree, looks like some stray material under the perforated leather.

    Salary sacrifice 4s vs Turbo

    A cheap run around = a car you can buy outright and not worry. A couple of grand or so. Yes the petrol / tax.etc would also be dead money, but *substantially* less. Anyway, that's at the extreme opposite end of your spectrum. Sounds like you're trying to man-math yourself into the Taycan, no...

    Salary sacrifice 4s vs Turbo

    True, but that's not my point. OP isn't weighing up the cost of lease vs PCP or buying, so it's a bit of a moot point in this scenario. They are effectively renting the car for however long the contract is, therefore it's dead money and not very fiscally responsible given their income and a...

    150kW on-board DC-DC converter - do I need to order this in UK?

    The 22kW option is plagued with issues, if I recall correctly. It's only useful if you have 3phase at work / home, or travel a lot in Scotland, where 22kW chargers are a bit more prevalent. I would give the 22kW option a miss.

    Salary sacrifice 4s vs Turbo

    Leasing a car though salary sacrifice is still a lease, and therefore dead money. At the end of the contract, you have to give the car back, and you'll be £35k+ poorer.

    150kW on-board DC-DC converter - do I need to order this in UK?

    It’s a no-brainer, just add it. All the fast chargers in the UK are DC. Even more so if Tesla open up their network. You would be at a huge disadvantage without it.

    Salary sacrifice 4s vs Turbo

    We are entering a time of massive economic uncertainty and recession. I would prioritise my savings incase of job loss for the next few years. Plan for the worse, hope for the best.

    Comments on my UK GTS Build

    Use the "pocket money sacrifice" scheme to pay for the screen. ?

    Comments on my UK GTS Build

    Rear axle steering is the biggest omission from your build imo. We have a lot of tight roads and tighter parking spots in the UK. Given the length of the car, rear axle steering could be a huge benefit. I’d also recommend Adaptive Cruise Control to make motorway miles easier. It also add its...

    Anybody else bothered by how the VLC roof looks on the outside vs regular pano?

    In fairness the CT is under the shade of the tree, and the GTS is under the clear blue sky. No doubt there is a difference, but I think the above lighting conditions really exaggerate things. It’s probably way more subtle most of the time.

    GTS Sport Turismo color ?

    Carmine red is the only acceptable answer for a GTS ;)

    UK: When did you order and when did (or will) your car arrive?

    ...and great expense! ?

    UK Configurator updated for MY23

    It looks like it might just be the angle and the lighting in the render. Surely the dial won't be that light IRL? Fingers crossed!

    UK service & costs

    It’s crazy how there’s so much discrepancy. I would that through the service cost would have been much more standardised ?‍♂️

    Gts interior decision

    Yep. I’m just pointing it out incase people are tempted by the diy / independent route to “save” money, or a colour not offered.

    Gts interior decision

    I'm pretty sure you can have standard black leather and deviated stitching. The configurator doesn't throw up any errors when I select it, unless I'm missing something?

    Gts interior decision

    FYI - if you're in the UK and you plan on selling your Taycan through Porsche after a few years, they will knock the price down a good chunk if you paint your calipers, as they'll be out of "Porsche spec". Just something to consider. :)

    CARMINE RED Taycan Club

    Looks great. The splash of colour really lifts the dark interior nicely, which was what I was hoping ?
