Judge my configuration. Lock date soon!

[Jackson]

Need the last advice from black-belt-ninja-taycan users.
Lock date in a week guys. Please judge my config.
Am I missing something crucial?

P.S: Yeah I know passenger display is a bit useless stuff. However, I can't imagine a future car without a fully displayed cockpit. So it is my whim.

P.S.S: I wanted to do it a bit look like my previous car.

Offroad design pack is a bit meh - but if you've seen it and like it then fine. Standard looks better in my opinion but you must select the black gloss inlays.

Roof rails in black aluminium.

Body coloured door mirrors.

Door levers in black - not to everyone's taste - again a personal choice.

Rear axle steering with Power Steering Plus is great (includes Power Steering Plus so not as expensive as it looks).

Lights - you've gone standard - note that only the main beam is white led and dipped will be halogen yellow).

Panoramic roof over and above Passenger Display screen. Dark interior so this car will feel claustrophobic due to the small windows and low roof line.

Adaptive Cruise - not sure its needed - you already get 2 forms of cruise as standard.

Steering wheel heating.

Heat pump (standard in most countries) - you've selected heat seating etc so odd you've not selected this one.

EDIT

1. Standard spec sheet for your code suggests front heat seating and heat pump are standard but yet they are listed as options in the configurator.

Suggest checking with the dealer as there is a mix up here and you may be charged for something that is in fact standard.

I’d definitelly skip offroad package if I’d knew before that’s just a very expensive plastic.
also, I agree with @W1NGE , haven’t seen his post before i saved mine…

WOW. Are you sure that standard lights have halogen yellow? It should be fully led, isn't it?
The standard option is PDLS LED headlights.

Go with matrix lights….it’s a Porsche, man

Not in Cyprus - LED and no PDLS+ is standard - the rest are optional

LED main is the description but suspect I'm wrong here (used to be on other models there was a mix) - worth checking and hopefully just LED otherwise it would look odd.

Ok thanks. You got me scared )

I wouldn’t have an all-black interior for all the tea in China - makes the cabin even more claustrophobic. Is Cyprus too sunny for the glass roof ?

My interior is two-tone black/crayon with crayon belts, but I’m not sure how that would go with the Carrera White exterior ( mine is Gentian Blue )

I specced the Sports-Chrono but wouldn’t again : the clock is a carbuncle !

+2. Crayon/chalk is beautiful. No all black interior. There will be way too many in the wild with all black and if I was looking for a pre-owned example I would not buy one with all black.

You won't need the 22KW option. Chances are you will use AC upto 11KW unless you have a different home setup. DC is where the fast charging happens at 150KW+ so save the cash.

You should consider the pano roof with the roof rails, really does complete the car. Also get the electric charging cover looks so much better over the standard.

Also it's odd that you have to pay for heated front seats... It's standard here in the UK and most other countries I believe.

i still don't get why a buyer feels the artificial sound adds to the car, other than unwanted noise. Doesn't affect comfort, safety or performance.

Not sure what the infrastructure is like in Cyprus but it could be 3 phase and public charging at 22kW is common place. I also don't think you can specify 150kW either in this region.

Few changes after your recommendations guys.

1) electric charge cover - ADDED.
2) on board charger removed. 8 hours charging overnight is enough, you are right.
3) sadly I can’t add panoramic so as roof rails, I am afraid of sunny rays here in Cyprus
4) @W1NGE standard headlights is PDLS (without +) and fully led, no halogens or xenon stuff dealer said.

Delivery date DEC 2021. (Ordered in June/July)

Muuuuuch thanks. ???

Re : electric noise. Definitely not necessary, but Ido use it in townon the advice of my blind brother in law, who “ sees ( ! ) electric cars as a silent threat “ ( his words )

Glad you checked with the dealer re lights - I've seen 'led main lights' on Macans which turn out to have the mix of led and halogen.

Taycan therefore has the same 'standard' as the Panamera - led lights (no PDLS or PDLS+). Prior to the Taycan I had a Pana 4 ST from new - LEDs but no PDLS / PDLS+ - not a major fail but annoying.

Perhaps mention to the dealer that the standard spec sheet for the car on the configurator is possibly incorrect and that PDLS+ (and matrix) are all options on the configurator (with your code) and on standard spec UK cars.

PDLS doesn't feature (originally when Porsche introduced the high beam assistant they called it PDLS) and now with evolution they named it PDLS+

Hopefully I'm wrong but it reads like it is either an omission / misprint or indeed PDLS is not standard.
