I have to decide in few days for a like new GTS ST.
I like the car but I'm not a privacy glass fan, moreover this Taycan is really all black, perhaps too black for me.
I was wondering if it's possibile to remove the dark from the glasses, if yes, how hard is to get a good result?

Thank you, I would have preferred it to have no privacy glass
But resisting an available GTS ST isn't easy at all... :whew:

you could always just replace the 3 privacy glass pieces; 2 back windows and the hatch window. altogether probably €2k, worth checking

You can of course replace the privacy windows - 2 rear passenger windows, 2 rear 3/4 windows and rear hatch window. Replace with regular Taycan tinted glass.

The little windows in the back 1.179€ each. Then you still need to do your reardoor windows and labour. This will be +3k€ at least. Then still the rear window.

arfff... sometimes I forget that Porsche is out there to bleed us. Of course that little window costs as much as a whole e-bike.

Yes, I know because i had a little chip in the window frame, it comes with the window. It’s one piece.

...or if you didn't like privacy glass don't order it at the outset!
It's a nearly new one he's thinking about buying from a dealer. Please go and get your coat!

Obvious, but as written at the beginning, it's an available car, take it or leave it as it is.
It's not a build made by me.

And the first thing I have done with every car I have bought is run to the tint shop and had the windows tinted. Every time I drive in a rental car I think how do people drive with no tint. Crazy how strong the sun can be. Maybe it depends on where you live, but I like the dark window look on any color car.
