Howdy,
I am after as much advice as possible from the great folk of this forum to spec our Taycan 4S. I know there are a lot of discussions around this, but my situation is probably quite unique, in that this is the first car I will ever have purchased. I don't even have a driving license right now; my wife has been driving over 10 years, but we've only had one car together (Mercedes A Class) which we leased in a hurry last year. Basically, you may rightfully talk to me as someone who truly knows nothing about cars.
Having put the deposit down yesterday, I will be finalising the order next week. Whilst I've no prior interest in cars, I do love my research and have spent far too long during lockdown on the configurator and these forums.
This is being purchased as a family car, with our daughter due any week now. For the spec our main priorities are:
Optional extras:

This is being purchased as a family car, with our daughter due any week now. For the spec our main priorities are:
- Safety
- Comfort
- Saleability (we'll replace it in 2-3 years time)
- Minimum option: http://www.porsche-code.com/PME22TI0
- Top option: http://www.porsche-code.com/PM68ZWE0
Optional extras:
- 21” Wheels
- Better interior - should we go non-leather? It's hard to gauge quality from the pictures
- Heads-up display
- Night Vision Assist
- InnoDrive
- Ambient Lighting
- E-Performance - unknown what we require
- Passenger Display - I tried this during the test drive and couldn't see enough value in it
- Seat Ventilation (front) - probably not needed in the UK weather?
- Acoustically insulated laminated glass - it already seemed quiet, so does this make much difference?
- Side Window Trims in Black (high-gloss) - I still can't decide whether it's better with or without
