I haven't yet taken delivery of my Taycan so I may have misunderstood from my research on this forum, but from what I understand you don't use Electrify America app to initiate the 3 years of free charging Taycan owners are entitled to. From the various threads on this forum I've learned that...
That seems like a high monthly to me. It works out to over $131K over 36 months. Add the $6500 drive off and the residual of $91K, you're into it for $228K which does not strike me as Walnut Creek doing you any favors to basically "rent" a car for 3 years with 0 equity.
My two cents: I think you're missing some essentials and gilding the lily with expensive options that you don't really need and will not enhance the resale value of the Taycan 5 years hence.
Specifically, I would delete the SportDesign package. At $10K, it's an expensive option that really...
Totally psyched because I've ordered mine, which comes in May, exactly the same as yours, wheels and all. Looks fantastic, frankly better than the Carmine Red and matches my 1997 Arena Red 911S. Beautiful stablemates!!
I was worried precisely about this problem. I posted this a couple of days ago:

In December, before the release of the base Taycan, I ordered a Taycan 4S and optioned it to about $138K. Based upon my test drive, it's wicked fast, and I do not regret ordering it as I frankly don't want to delay my delivery any more than I ought to for this car--I want it that bad. That...
Like you, I ordered my Taycan 4S in December. My freeze date is in 9 hours! Delivery scheduled for May 7. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. Very unbecoming for a man my age.....
Nothing wrong with Carmine Red. I would have gone for that, but then the Cherry Red came out which kind of matches my 1997 Arena Red 911S. Hence, I was hooked.
Howdy. To answer the question, no. The Cherry Red is an $800 color upgrade on the Porsche configurator website. Fourth color from the left under metallic paint options...
Absolutely get a loaner from them. It's pretty unconscionable to keep a car in the shop for 30 days without any compensation. Have them throw a 911 your way for the hassle! And definitely contact Porsche USA to get them on the case. Finally, good thinking about the Lemon Law--that may be...
Boy, you went to town with that configuration! I did pretty much the same with the HUD and the Night Vision though no Burmester on a Cherry Red 4S through Porsche Burlingame. Got a great deal too! Mine comes May 7 (hopefully).
I ordered the rear axel sterring with mine. From what I've read, it's essential for tight maneuvering like parking, but also dramatically increases the car’s handling at speed. Go for it!
