Taycan Options Advice

[Square[]]

Greetings. I have just joined the forum as I am considering getting a new Taycan 4S/GTS. The abundance of various options feels overwhelming.
Power-wise I would be happy with the 4S. At the same time, the heavily optioned 4S is only slightly cheaper than the GTS that comes with some of these options by default. Plus, I am concerned that a heavily optioned car will depreciate much faster.

Is there a comprehensive options guide for Taycan somewhere on the web? Just having a simple breakdown like the one below would be very helpful:
- must have (meaningfully improves the driving experience/will make it more challenging to sell the car without the option/adds value)
- personal preference (design etc.)
- avoid (unlikely to be used/will depreciate fast).

Draft builds:
GTS (163k) : http://www.porsche-code.com/PP8YRAZ4
4S (150k) : http://www.porsche-code.com/PPMN7RZ5

Updated (current) configuration for GTS (163k):

Thanks so much!

Best thing to do is use the configurator and looks what you definitely want and then the nice to haves. Anything you are not sure about feel free to share your code and folk will give their thoughts on it.

Thank you! Any specific "must-haves" and "avoids" that you can point out?

wow…would you like me to print out your homework and turn it in for you also?

Well, I imagine one reason this forum exists is to ask for advice from the members of the community who are much more knowledgeable and experienced.

It would be easy for me to provide quick advice in the area of my expertise (which obviously has nothing to do with cars).

have you configured a vehicle in the configurator - you can post the porsche build code and people will provide lots of feedback.

Appreciate this recommendation! I thought it would be good to get some general guidance before moving to that step (for example, 4S vs. GTS). I tried configuring a few vehicles in the configurator and came to the conclusion that I need help

configure both and see if the price difference is worth it to you.

I suspect that I could drop many of these extras. That's the main reason I created the thread.

If you can afford it and can wait then go for the GTS seems to have all the options i would pick..

I‘d get it ordered asap as you still have time to change the options.

What I have seen is GTS with less options is better value than 4s with lot of options.

GTS will suffer less from depreciation.

Your GTS build looks great to me. If you want to lower the price a bit, I don't think you need the $3k panoramic sunroof with variable light control. I would also say that you may want to consider adding B-Pillar trims in race tex since my car has a very cheap plastic there which I bet will get scratched up.

If you go with the 4s I highly recommend getting gloss black window trim though as the Chalk looks much better with it IMO.
