When I collected my Turbo last Friday (31st July) from the dealership, I notice while checking the car over that a lot of the wheel nuts had paint chips. I mentioned it to the Sales Rep who took photos, apologised and informed me that they will be replaced. Dealership has confirmed today that a complete set of new nuts will arrived on Wednesday and She is going back to have them replaced this Friday (7th August)
I did check other cars in the showroom and they were all perfect, it is possible that this happened back at the factory....

Thanks for the heads up!

While I thoroughly believe that the nuts should be properly coated when they arrive, I think it might introduce even more risk to have some tech at the dealership put the car up on a lift and then replace all the nuts. The wear-and-tear of the replacement could actually introduce more issues to other parts (wheels) than simply touching up the nuts with a sharpie if needed.

Hey, they are wheel nuts and will be covered with road grime and wheel dust pretty quickly anyway...

Just a thought...

Did you specifically order the non-color Porsche crest on those Mission-E wheels? In the US those wheels come with the color center caps.

Ok, that scares me, I specifically asked about it! I want the color caps.

*edit* I guess they are part of the package if you get them painted.

Just checked the Porsche online configurator and the full-colour Porsche Crest Caps are standard with the Taycan Turbo S model.

Am so glad we paid $20K more to get Porsche colored caps! :confused:

MY DEAL IS NUTS
I gave up the nuts for my wife to get the Porsche, rather than selling soul to the devil. However now she has full control, while I at least have my hands on a new Taycan :devil:
