My first post here, hopefully I’m posting in the right place! I am a week away from my freeze date and can’t decide for the life of me between Chalk/black (US) leather interior and Truffle Brown Olea leather. My exterior is Carrera white metallic with Mission E wheels painted to match.

If I go Chalk/Black I’m doing neodyme accents but I hate how much plastic there is in the car, including the back of the seats which I can’t change. So I might have to pay for added leather inside. Biggest deterrent is for some reason the black on chalk rear seats really bothers me - why couldn’t it just be all chalk?

The problem with the Truffle is that every video and pic I see looks different, and I’ve never seen it in person (except the tiny swatch at the dealership which tells me nothing). I love how much leather Olea adds to the car and I love brown (my preference would be Cohiba but sadly not an option on the Taycan) but I’m afraid it might look too old fashioned. Most people I ask say based on the pics it looks “old man”….

I know it’s a matter of preference but would love to hear from and see pics of Chalk/Black and Truffle Brown owners! I’ve seen whatever is on google but I’d love to hear from those who own them.

Maybe consider the Atacama beige two tone option?

I have chalk interior. I really like the two tone color options the best. My favorite is the atacama beige two tone also I wish I had gotten that. I liked truffle brown but it was a lot of brown and feel the two tone colors are better. The atacama comes with the gold accents.

I did consider Atacama but it has the same issue as the chalk - for me, the two tone rear seats I don’t like. I love the two tone in the front with the dashboard, but not the back. I fell in love with chalk, just wish there was less black more chalk. I agree truffle is a lot of brown…did you add any leather extras to your chalk interior?

I like the truffle and the black/ beige (don't know what it is called in the USA configurator) which has less black and includes pale front seat backs which is a big improvement for rear seat passengers IMO.
I feel that in general all the other 2-tone interiors have too much black and not enough colour.

I like chalk leather (in the UK, it is named "crayon"), however, it might look odd where you have a white exterior.

Contrast always works better and I should imagine will help with second hand values as well.

Obviously personal preference, but Bordeaux leather would look really nice.

Not keen on the truffle brown. As you say, it's a bit "old fashioned". Meranti brown might be a better compromise where it's lighter and there is more contrast. Also still contrasts with the exterior colour.

Another vote for the meranti brown - as i have it ;-) if you want the extra leather i would say go for it.
I combined it with the neodyme accents and racetec steer, b colomn & ceiling

Very nice!! It looks totally different than the configurator! How do you change the ceiling material, which option is that?

Thank you, and yes i does look completely different than the configurator. I ask my dealership to call me up when they got a car in with this leather to confirm my choise before locking the build.
Not alot are configured like this wich make it an added bonus for me

all ‘race tex’ options you can find under individual options then interior race tex - you can add more than i did.. just my budget didnt like some options.

Only thing with Meranti brown is it CAN look very different on a small swatch vs decking out an entire interior.

While I am going GTS exclusive, I was mulling leather options initially - between Chalk ("Crayon") and Meranti brown.

Photos below where in various light, Meranti brown can look a dull grey.

Meanwhile, @Tdc vehicle above, it looks stunning.

Top = Meranti brown // Bottom = Chalk Beige
