Anyone select the "Center Console Trim in Leather" option?

[ciaranob]

I am still waiting on my SA to return from vac. and have a request in to him to show a pic of this option (also discussed in a separate thread I created where user Mr. Smith provided a very helpful PDF of what various leather add ons look like but no actual pic of this option as yet).

Would really like to see this option in a delivered car if any of you have it and can share. I'd like to think it covers most of the console sides but suspect it is only partial.

Pics appreciated but even a Porsche 'schematic' of where the additional leather is applied in the Taycan would suffice.

So I'm guessing from the online brochure that the bolster (as suggested by user Mr. Smith) and the area immediately under the console 'lids' might be the two areas that get additional leather in this optional upgrade - again would be useful if Porsche would actually tell you what the heck is in it - seriously hard to understand when purchasing a $150K car why you cannot visualize items you are purchasing - unreal!

it is also unreal that a $150k car does not come with all leather options as standard?!?!?!? Then, if you want the eco-non-leather as an upgrade, you can order that. At this point Kia's come with leather as standard, why we have to pay more is beyond me and think they can make up the extra cost by just standardizing all parts in leather and not having to source others, make the semi-bespoke portion around the trim thread or the eco versions, not leather which I believe should be standard at a price point for anything over $80k

before you jump on me, yes I know it is their model that has worked for them well over the years...I am saying it should be changed and think that the leather-standard option would actually produce more on the bottom-line than the current pricing/option-model.

I absolutely agree with you on this. I can't help but feel like it's the Spirit airlines model , but at first class pricing.

Additional Leather should not be an option in a six figure car.
If you want to get the fuse box cover in leather its one thing, but somewhere like the center console should obviously be standard.

FWIW if I was ordering extended leather options I would go with seat side plates in leather over the center console leather. If anyone misses the seatbelt buckle when strapping in there is a risk of damaging the console leather. It's not really in sight and the seat plates in leather with optional deviated stitching looks incredible and provides more visual punch IMO when the front doors are opened.

I would order aluminum rhombus trim where the console sides are aluminum.

Any pics of the seat side plate leather?

Thx - indeed had seen this one recently but clear what the ref is now. I hear you re seeing this with door open, sharp no doubt, but with door closed of course becomes invisible. This is why I was leaning to the Center Console addl. leather, at least it would be continuously visible whilst in the car but I'm still pondering - allowing myself one of this additions and no more so will need to chose by freeze point !

For similar $ you can have the headliner in race-tex (suede) and even the mirror housing.

Yeah see your crawling through my headspace now revisiting all the options I have been endlessly juggling !! Just not sure about the suede like look of the Racetex which I guess is similar to alcantera?

FINALLY - I have a picture of what the center Console Trim in Leather actually includes - from my SA. This is quite different than what is shown in the Mr Smith PDF which we will need to update:

A very crude overlay to get a feel for what it would look like with same colored leather as console top:

And without for comparison:

Yep for now it is in my build - have to say a fairly outrageous price point but I really like having more visible leather in this area so stays for now

I think it will really make the rear vents look better too
It should be a $600 option though
