It should be visible when you select it in this view:

No it's not visible in the configurator. Neither in 2D nor in 3D mode.

Interested in seeing photos of this as well.

Does anyone know if this option actually puts leather on the bottom half of the b-pillars? Was a bit disappointed that the full/extended leather option still left plastic on that specific area.

Yes, it does. That's exactly the point why I'm concidering to add this option but I would like to see some pictures first.

It does put leather everywhere and I considered to order becaus I'm also really dissapointed with the plastic b pillar. It's a 2800€ option, because it also includes the illuminated door sills in Europe.

Then I noticed that with the Taycan's located at the dealer the b-pillar and door sill had several scratches from people getting in and out.

Because of the price but especially the anxiety when my childeren or a passenger would scratch the leather entering and exiting the vehicle I decided it's better to replace the pillars when needed.

Thought about this "problem" as well. That's why I'm struggeling a little bit with this option. On the one hand I would like to have leather on the B-pillars (to get rid of this cheap platic look) and on the other hand I do not want to scratch the leather on the door sills. I have two kids (7/10 yo) and it's very likely that it will be scratched.

I would have spent the $ to get it and the seat consoles if it had been offered in Racetex, and before my lock date, neither of which happened. After getting fully PPF'ed right away (delivery day is on Saturday, but my dealership will probably prep and then turn it over to me middle of next week), I'm thinking of taking it to a good auto upholsterer to talk about covering those plastic parts, front and rear. I'm thinking of using something like a tough black leatherette. It's got to be something that will wear well, because I've noticed that those areas are very prone to scuffing action when entering and egressing. I guess I could order the parts for the Racetex seat consoles and have them installed at my dealership, but still gotta do something about the other plastic.

What do you think? What about some truck deck lining material like Rhino (https://rhinoliningalbuquerque.com/)? Of course, I would get my local premium auto body shop to do the removal/installation of the plastic parts.

Really? This is a bedliner and I'm familiar with this material. Trust me you don't want this. The plastic you have now will look much better.

Yeah, I'm going to check if they do a smoother, thinner coating that would work well. I'll post it once I check, No big hurry to get the plastic parts done, but def want to eventually. Just not sure how to do it, but I'll check with the various professionals first, and hopefully see some sample work to compare and judge.

Try Porsche.com or Porsche.nl or Porsche.be or Porsche.co.uk.
If that doesn't work, try a different computer.

I already tried several different porsche sites and different computers/browsers/smartphones. It didn't change anything. The B-pillars/inner door sills leather package is not visible in the configurator. Even my local porsche dealer tried it on his computer. No chance as you see below.

+1 - would like to know if anyone has ordered this and has photos of the B-Pillar.
Thanks

Note getting into the car you WILL scratch the b-pillar, not just your kids. So leather isn't a good idea. I have the extra problem I put so much pressure on it about 10% of the time the molding pops off. I'm going to take it to the dealer to see if they can tape/glue/screw it in so it doesn't pop off! No need for it to be so deep as it is, you can tell when it falls off.

With suitable leather protection product on it, would leather perhaps be more durable than plastic though? For scuffs etc.
