I’m ordering another Taycan s. I was fortunate when the first one I got last year came in exactly what I wanted..color..premium package.
Now I’m ordering and I’m lost to what features I want or need. I want it to look really nice. And enjoy driving. It. Please help.
I have the ceramic wheels ..pretty

Hi Candi, are you able to share the Porsche Code from the Configurator for whatever spec you currently have in mind (even if it's just exterior and interior colour choices plus wheels)? I'm assuming you currently have a 4S sedan with painted Mission E wheels.

Yes I have mission e wheels..I don’t know how to share codes etc…sorry?I’m thinking of chalk ..I have ice gray metallic and I love it…
Someone wrote they had chalk with blackberry leather and chalk stitching …how do you get the panels on the seat a different color?
I have PSCB calipers in white..MY WHEELS ARE PAINTED HIGN GLOSS BLACK. the car is really pretty..so I want another pretty one! But I’m sure I’m missing some good things to make car look nicer and run better…turns etc

For now, some info re. main colour choices:

You may have seen the great detailed pictures of Blackberry with Chalk stitching posted by member pEAkfrEAk from his Chalk 4S (I can’t find them on this forum, and I'm not allowed or able to post a link to the other place I've seen them, so suggest you message him direct, he seems a very helpful fellow). He went with Chalk rather than Blackberry seatbelts. He also posted somewhere that Blackberry looks darker and less purple in real life than in photos, so advised viewing in person.

I don’t think it’s possible to get the Configurator to render deviated seat centre options. Here's the only real example of deviated centres & stitching I could find- black & orange on 18-way seats https://finder.porsche.com/gb/en-GB/details/porsche-taycan-4s-preowned-1Q8DP2

Here are some photos of Mission E wheels with the non-black parts painted in Chalk rather than the standard silver (not saying they’re better than the silver ones, just showing another option)…

1. I would not have the plain mission-e wheels as-is. The ring around is silverish (it does not match the white base color). You should paint them either in chalk, or black. see mine below, painted in high-gloss-black on chalk
2. I personally prefer the 18way seats for comfort. If you haven't tried them in person, it's worth a trip to the dealer to sit in them. I had a loaner with the 14 and wasn't impressed
3. The bigger perf battery i think is a must
4. Not sure if relevant to you, but you may want to consider the heated steering wheel.
5. Ditto for rear passengers - heated seats, maybe the nice display for climate controls
6. I enjoy interior racetex elements quite a bit. I'd highly recommend a second look at roof lining, B-pillars, and interior mirror panel
7. You may want to consider the power charger doors. I think visually it looks better with the extra black line interrupting the flat panel. Moreover, this option blocks out the vents behind the front wheels. Without it, your front wheels are constantly hurling pebbles at the sides of the car

Finally, I would highly recommend you evaluate your needs. You have spec'd 43K of options on a 100K car. I don't think this is great choice financially speaking since you'd loose a lot on depreciation on the options. If it was me, I'd either consider cutting the options down to 20K budget, or if budget permits, do a lightly optioned GTS build instead.

Good luck and hope you get it soon!

Thank you so much…I like it painted in chalk wheels..I also just like the color tasting stitching. I wish I could read German for the color of the interior. Any other info would be helpful..

You're welcome.

That German car has Truffle Brown Olea Club leather (the highest quality option for Taycan). Not sure if that is the standard or deviated stitching.

I've now found the photos of pEAkfrEAk's fabulous blackberry leather with chalk stitching-
