My own decision making for going metallic white versus solid white came down to the following: How many years do I plan to keep the car? Do I plan to regularly keep the car waxed? For myself, I plan to keep the Taycan for many years, so I wanted a paint color that still looks "shiny" after...

:camera: Here you go :)

To me PPF is about protecting the paint from rock chips. Of the 20+ years of driving a car, it is super rare that my car got a rock chip or a scratch that I would have benefited from PPF. I had more car dings and accidents, which PPF doesn't protect from. I look at ceramic coating as helping...

So far, I'm thinking Yay for ceramic coating and Nay for PPF.

Tom also mentions @louv trip in the video :like:

@louv when you get to BC, hit up the BC Hydro charging stations. They are free. You may need to download the "BC Hydro EV" app to initiate the charging. The down side is that I think they are only 50 kW stations

If you plan to take the car to the track, then I think PTV is valuable. As a DD, I personally will be saving the money.

I'm personally planning to let the battery drop to around 30% before charging back up for day to day driving. If I have trips, then I'll top off regardless of current SoC.

I'll be running the A/C if my head start to feel hot. Maybe it is just the adrenaline rushing to my head while I'm driving the Taycan ;)

I only added RWS for parking and U-turns, since this will be a DD car. We don't have a lot of high speed fun roads, so left out the other 2 options. I'm switching from a regular sedan over to a Porsche so even the default Porsche driving dynamics will already be much better than what I'm used to.

I didn't go for this. I figured that I'll have other keys in my pocket and will just end up scratching up the leather anyways, so might as well spend the money on other options.

In the US, it is free for the first 3 years, according to https://connect-store.porsche.com/us/en/?model=taycan_2020

Ordered from Porsche of Bellevue at MSRP price.

The trunk area has a 12V socket, in addition to the 12V socket in the center console picture that Reg shared.

Agree with what other people said, dash cam is for vandalism and hit and run situations. Radar and laser detectors are for cops. Have a look at https://youtu.be/LPVp1DTDYu8 where the reviewer describes a number of custom install radar detectors. Here's a laser jammer specific review...

Homelink is standard in US models. I've heard that it's an option in Europe.

Ah, guess I mis-understood how the route planner color indicator means. The route I was thinking was

I like A Better Route Planner. Does this route work (https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=7a8e8167-7626-4cca-ae70-674f48674881)? While, it may be a bit of additional drive, but that's part of the fun in a Porsche, right ;)

My test car had Bose and the picture I took showed that the boot is flat. So if the Bose speaker took up room it is hidden in the boot floor. BTW, the little section right under the golf club head has a shallow storage area if you lift up the cover.
