There are more but these are the colors I asked for

Thanks for getting this info! It's a bummer that yb won't be available. Still, I think Brewster Green is what I'm looking at then.

Thank you for the insight.

I care about resale a lot and that's why Im afraid to go crazy on the specs . If this was any variation of the 911, I would go all out because I know I can get it back one day.
I hope the Taycan is closer to 911s on holding its value

My inspiration for the Mexico Blue was from a GT2 RS. These always get a premium, especially with such long waiting lists and limited windows for PTS production/allocation
I expect Taycan will follow the same resell value trend as the Panamera.

VW is currently having a partnership with QuantumScape to commercialize solid state battery by 2026. It expects to be lighter and has a range of over 500 miles. It can fully charge in less than 10 minutes. If resell is what you care, I will hesitate to go too crazy on options.

I absolutely agree with you. All current EVs using Li Ion are temporary place holders for Solid State.
Indirectly they are compliance cars.

I have to lease this so the MRM is $183,600 for the Turbo. That's where my build is around.
It will be a nice hedge against dramatic depreciation

Granted the cost of these solid state batteries will be super high at first and who knows the actual time of mainstream use?

We will start seeing limited production releases after 2025. I believe that's when we will see the Cayman EV and smaller variants

Wow! Looks incredible

I like them in the order they are in, but probably a tie between Voodoo and Acid

They asked me not to post it as it’s an internal document but happy to look up any color your want.
