Oh so locking-in the build is just a self-imposed limitation to prevent indecisive customers from endlessly waffling between color combos and options selections, and has nothing to do with actual progress along the production queue?
I guess that makes sense because I too have gone from frozen...
Thanks for the votes of confidence everyone. With 14-way comfort seats covered by dead cow, massage, and 20” wheels, I suppose my GTS will be as cushy as a GTS can possibly get. And that’s how I roll!
excuse my noob question here…. what exactly does “locking in” your build accomplish? Does it expedite your build on the order queue? Does it get you an allocation sooner if you don’t already have an allocation? Previously I just assumed “locking“ of your order just happens in due time on...
I had been reluctant to do so, but I just asked my SA to go ahead and make this change on my GTS order, and it's now done.
It feels so wrong though. What have I done!?! I feel like I just murdered some endangered species of baby animals.
I do like and use the massage function in our Audis...
Love both. CT/ST is the sexiest wagon on the road today, and is definitely the more unique Taycan variant, at least for now. I see Taycan sedans on the road almost daily, while the wagon remains to be a rare sighting as I've only seen 2 on the roads since they came out. Personally, I'm...
Thanks for posting. Do you recall if the race-tex roof lining and pillars were also in slate grey or were they black?
Anyhow, I currently have frozen blue on my build but having second thoughts and considering going white-ish with the chalk exterior. Not really sure what would go well with...
Excellent! Perhaps I'll take a drive out there this weekend, assuming they won't sell it by then. Did either of you happen to take any pics of the slate grey interior? I know it's boring, but I'm considering it for lifestyle reasons and having young kids.
I’ve been in a lot of porsches and other makes and never noticed alcantara/race-tex to have any noticeably distinct smell. If anything some leathers have a distinct smell (that I like). But even my GT3 which has alcantara everywhere had no noticeable smell other than the new car smell when...
Luckily they don't have my money yet (not counting a refundable deposit). So if my car arrives missing bits that are important to me, it's easy to just walk away even if there's a promise of retrofit. Not going to take Porsche's word for it. That's at least one thing I've learned from this...
I like them too. Sure they're not as nice as the 21" Spyders but still a solid choice for those who have to live with poorly-maintained roads.
The standard 20" definitely look better when the car is at its lowest suspension setting, like on this photo:
Beautiful! Seriously considering switching my build from frozen blue to ice grey. Local dealership just added an Ice grey sedan to their showroom floor yesterday and it made my jaw drop. I actually like it more than chalk now, as far as the off-white colors go. My wife's comment was...
My wife very much cares about having the right driving position every time she gets into a car. Perhaps she got that from me over the years, and also from having driven a few track days herself at various circuits. Anyhow, she's shorter than I am, so our preferred steering wheel positions...
If I was the only driver of the car, then of course, no need for this feature. But for any other household like my own that regularly shares driving duties or shares cars, not having it becomes a significant inconvenience. An inconvenience that shouldn't be tolerated on a $150k+ car. I'm...
In our household, the Taycan would be driven regularly by both me and my wife, so having an electrically adjustable steering column tied to seat/user memory is an essential convenience feature we’ve grown to enjoy in all our cars over the years. The Taycan being the most expensive car our...
So all Taycans being built right now and in the near future will be without an electronic steering column adjustment until supply chain issues recover? That sucks. As great as the rest of the car is, sad to say that’s a dealbreaker for me.
Since the order is for a GTS, these glacier blue light options are "free" on the GTS (as a swap to the black light housings)
I actually think it might work well on frozen blue. I've seen it in person on a Neptune blue CT and it looks weird because it's clearly a different shade of blue that...
I like the gentian blue more for the simple fact that it seems to offer better contrast with the black GTS bits than volcano would. then again the red GTS interior looks very nice! I don't see why you can't get that interior with gentian blue exterior. But of course color is a personal...
