Porsche Taycan Ice Grey CT received! 92AAC741-AEF1-4A0C-BB43-C416D3D4E9BA


First impressions:
  • It looks absolutely amazing. I still can't believe how nice it is from every angle.
  • I love the color, but I wish it was a tiny bit more grey. Still the nicest color available in my book.
  • The drive is just ridiculous. Everything is so tight, reactive and stable.
  • It's a tiny bit louder than I expected, even though I have the noise insulated glass option.
  • I'm happy I went with the 4. It's more than quick enough for me.
  • I couldn't connect the car to my Porsche ID. I went to the dealership and they couldn't fix it either with a reset, so I had to make an appointment for next week and leave the car for at least a day until they figure out what's wrong (presumably the OTA module). Honestly, it really sucks for a brand new car to experience that kind of issue.
  • The other relatively minor disappointment is the camera on the back. It's really, really bad. The image quality is poor, and the viewing angle is completely distorted, making the camera pretty much pointless. By far the worst camera I've ever had, which is super odd given how high quality everything else is (well, aside from the connectivity).
  • The whole charging experience is great. I was a little bit worried about it for whatever reason but it's very practical, fast and easy.
  • The BOSE sound system is wonderful, I highly recommend it!
  • I'm not sure I'd recommend the Electric Sport Sound option given its price. It's super fun for like... 10 minutes, but it quickly becomes overwhelming.

Thanks for sharing and congrats on your new ride!
Regarding the rear camera, did you opt for the surround view, or solely the back one? During my test ride I did react to the image looking super weird, at least for me coming from a Tesla with an amazing rear camera.
On the cabin noise, I wonder how big of a difference it is between the 20" and 21" wheels...might stick with the 20"

Just the back one. I heard the surround one has more options to configure the viewing angle etc. but mine has nothing, except from an unusable view.

Congrats, and thanks for sharing. Looks stunning…and makes me feel more confident that Ice Grey may be the right choice.

- Tires are a source of noise. I heard an increase in road noise with all-seasons vs. my Michelin PS.
- BOSE is GREAT for the $. Best Bose in a Porsche to date
- Agreed. ESS is a gimmick and gest old - fast.

Congrats and enjoy in great health! :fist bump:

Quick update: the connectivity issue just... disappeared this morning for whatever reason, even though nothing worked for the last two days (including a hard reset). I'm glad everything works now, but it surely doesn't feel rock solid!

You have great taste and a stunning CT! Mine starts production next week and is almost identical (but for the addition of black roof rails). Are your wheels metallic, gloss, or satin black? I was worried about the black calipers, but they seem to work well with the wheels.
