Bold color choice - congrats and enjoy, and give us some driving impressions/comparisons when you have some!!!
I will! Spending the night out here as I need to do some banking to finish the deal in the morning.

Probably for the best as I’m tired, not safe to drive 328 miles.

Congrats! We're twins now... except mine is blue with gray wheels.

Looks like you picked up the one in Ontario... it's a great build. I really wish I had the Burmester but we can't have all the things when going used.

My kids love the light up logo.

Yep that’s the one! I saw one in Fremont too, but the interior was mouse fur which I don’t like.

I’m not sure what’s ACC, but if you meant the programmable button on the screen, i’m using it to turn sports sound on.
Assisted Cruise Control. There are two buttons, one at the bottom of the stalk and one on the left side. Press and hold bottom to disable line assist. Press (not hold) the left one and teo buttons pop up on the main display; one to disable speed alerting and the other one to just disable audible alerts.

Yeah but that's 2 things you have to press
True, but then the action button is free for other things. For instance I use it for lifting the car up, as I have many speed bumps on my daily comute.

Thx…haven’t noticed that, but i prefer one click.
Do you know why Innodrive doesn’t work in Croatia?
(Btw: you have great colour.)

Congratulations! Beautiful car!

I know this is contentious, but as a Taycan owner I'm not certain I'd go again. The depreciation remains very real and erodes any notion of a 'good deal'. Especially in the UK where incentives are now being removed.

Porche have now sussed this out and slashed the Guaranteed Final Value (GFV) therefore if I bought a j1.2 of my current car even with a hefty discount the monthly would be double!

I think i'm going to drop into a 911 next... Given how they hold their value it will be considerably cheaper; even though its considerably more expensive.... A 991 GTS 992.2 costing over 40kmore than a taycan GTS works out cheaper for me.... Even with charging at home etc...

EDIT: Also, why have they removed 'GTS' from the bottom of the steering wheel?

But there is a capacitive lift button on the dash?

i fully paid off my CT. If i change the car, it will have to be really special. That said, i got a Macan EV as loaner and the range is nice. around 460 km in winter is the sweet spot. However, when i got my CT back, other than range, everything is so much better than the Macan EV. The Macan EV doesn't drive smooth, the CT is just like butter. Enough rant, i do look forward to 718 range of EVs
