So when I test drove a Turbo from my OPC it did that auto tightening pulling you into the seat as you drove away. Just wondering is this a standard thing on the Taycan or is it an option. I have looked on the configurator and cant see any sort of active safety thing as an option? Thanks :like:

Standard. My wife and I call it the 19mph hug.

Wifey said "The car don't trust you!".
I think its both a good feature, and a nice feeling.

Hmmm, so everyone who says it is standard appear to have the Turbo or are in the USA. I have ordered the 4S (UK), so not sure if that makes a difference?

My 4S does not have it and I was surprised as had a Cayenne for about 6 weeks with it before car arrived

One important note of interest is that the seatbelt pre-tensioner mentioned in the specs is the one that deploys during an accident with enough force or a rollover. It is set off with an explosive charge to instantly hold you in place so that you do not hit the windshield or slip underneath the belt. The other feature is a comfort tensioning adjustment that reduces slack when initiating a drive.
