Good advice, though the topic of this thread was along the lines of "is the Turbo S worth the extra cost over the Turbo?", so I don't think the current lack of a PCCB option for the Turbo invalidates the discussion of the merits/value of PCCB.
Went to one of those and came out with a similar impression. A corporate rep presenting from slides he was given, making up stuff as they go. Here is one more for you - Taycan only lights up brake lights when blended braking switches to mechanical brakes, so at 3.8m/ss deceleration or higheryes that was it! i found it to be a bit too much fluff and marketing vs information
they said the PMCC is a great deal because it’s $1120 cost included the 25ft charging cord that porsche charges $1500 for cord if you want it with the PMC+ - i just about lost it right there!
their slides listed the Taycan's charge rate as maximum 9.6 kw - I attempt to fix this post presentation - the presenter could not wrap his head around 11 kW max on board charger and 9.6 kW max charge rate for a mobile EVSE. We discussed the Porsche wall Charger (and how it would charge the Taycan at it's full 11 kW), but he asserted/insisted that the Porsche Wall Charger _REQUIRED_ the 19.2 kW option - and was certain that no other EVSE could charge the vehicle other than Porsche EVSE's. He was confused when I pointed out that public L2 chargers work just fine, and that the PMC+/PMCC are nothing special. He felt I had incorrect information that it would void the warranty if I used non-porsche EVSE's -
there were other minor Porsche-favorable rose colored glasses misinformation and a lot of nearly-wrong EV misinformation - but not quite over the line wrong. -
One pedal driving is "unsafe" and that's why Porsche will not support it -
overall I was _NOT_ impressed with the presentation - but there were a lot of first time EV owners in the audience and I shudder to think of the messages they left with - just so bad.
Porsche does not take EV's seriously and it shows
- IIRC it was the very same slide you included in your earlier post.

Indeed. When I fixed my spec I had to remove Bose, matrix headlights and Racetex "B" pillar because they were unavailable.
Likely an equivalent of 8k-12k euro thereabouts.
in 2020 - my 2020 Taycan Turbo the option for "PCCB with Calipers in High Gloss Black" was $6,480 USD listed on the window sticker options price - I don't know what other regions pricing was for the year - but that's the cheapest PCCB option I've seen on any vehicles in the Porsche line up.
Interesting, I just noticed that (it was an available option when I ordered my 2023, I remember it was ~$6K, @daveo4EV has the exact price above). So PCCB's went from ~$6.5K to $34K option in the US (ok, maybe $30K since TTS comes with a few options like RAS which someone may option on a Turbo). Metallic white paint option went from $0 to $30K since I ordered, as it now requires PTS+ (no metallic white in standard or PTS colors, at least in the USA).
my guess is the change in options is a reflection of multiple goals - better segmentations between various trims and their price points and recognition of ongoing supply chain realities and simplification of manufacturing logistics by removing permutations from the product mix…
Not hard, very hard sell. I saved this Turbo S in July when asking price was 125k euro.
Absolute bargain....Not hard, very hard sell. I saved this Turbo S in July when asking price was 125k euro. I offered them 115k but declined, 5 month later dealership made a massive price drop in order to sell it.
Real deals can be found on sedans...loads of them around.
