‘22 Taycan 4S sedan frozenberry, H-D sportster 883 low

Hello all. I am new to this forum and have been reading up on bits and pieces while awaiting my 2022 Taycan S4.



It was a surprising choice to end op with the Taycan. Having tested 9 different EV’s (from Toyota to Lexus and Kia to Tesla, it was quite a strange mix!) I was actually curieus in how an all electric Porsche could be. I really figured without a 6-cilinder boxer shouting in the back it wouldn’t be much, just another EV. How wrong I was!

Considering the proces I tested the Macan, also too expensive for my taste and thinking it’s just a testdrive for fun (but of course don’t tell that to the dealer ;).) Well, that car made a big impression, the comfort, the handeling, the power… so, maybe look into a secondhander! Nope, nog there yet for an interesting price, however, the Taycan starting from around €65000 for a very decent age and kilometers was interesting. So, another testdrive with a Taycan 4 this time. And o.m.g. that car actually had a very familiar feeling. My old 911s (1980 SC targa and 1984 Carrera 3.2 targa) are still in there somehow, such a familiar handling and feeling; absolutely amazing!

The bunch of other cars didn’t stand a chance. So, searching the west European market I found a 95%match (or better) to my perfect configuration. Very excited to meet her soon in real life!



I find it interesting to read a lot of ppl statig the Taycan is not a good competition to other EV’s. Definately not my opinion obviously. I believe this car is exceptionally amazing, in comparison to the competition. I’m sure there will come a moment where something isn’t working, a breakdown or whatever and I’ll briefly remember the Toyota who doesn’t stop. Ever. But driving a Porsche was, is and will be the best experience in car-world, and that makes up for almost everything!

The Taycan is about the best driving EV - owner ship of .1 can be challenging - as you can read on here but most people do in fact love them.

It’s an all crayon leather interior. i don’t know what the options were back in ‘22. Nowadays it is two tone indeed

Congrats and you made the right choice. We do love our cars. Please post your spec sheet so we can see what it has and I assume it comes with a SoH certificate. Also, I would make sure all recalls are done and we can help you navigate those.

Your interior is called Crayon/Black with so called Leather Extended package with 14-way seats, that I consider the best combo kind since that is what I have :rock: and goes well which is pretty rare color called Frozen Berry, at least that is how it is called in the US. I have not seen one in real life and my dealer sold zero cars in that color.

Also, the trim level is 4S.

2022 is a good model year to have.

Hi sergeyindy, thank you I will do that! I have no idea what you meen with a SoH certificate? I have bought the car via the Porsche importer dealership in the Netherlands from Porschecentrum Stuttgart; recalls are up to date and the car passed the 111 point checklist for Porsche Aproval. So I really am very confident about her condition. She comes with the one year Porsche aproval warranty, I think I will buy the extended warranty as well just in case.
the Seats are actually the 8-way Seats, which is also fine :)
indeed frozenberry, pretty rare here as well. But I did find a few online as I was primarily searching for this colour. to find this almost perfect spec online was, however, a real treasure! Actually Taycan are so rare around here I have never seen one irl at all outside the showroom!

Apologies, SoH is State of Health of the Battery which is normally a standard procedure that shows battery degradation level that is measured in percent from new. So it should have say Battery Health or State of Health as 90%, for example.

So, here we are: the specs of my Taycan! The Battery is at 94%.
Upgrades that will be made are alarmsysteem 3/5, some stickering, waterproof mat in the trunk as well.
Also I bought the Porsche wallbox with the MID-meter. Here in Netherlands you can actually make money by charging your car (and with a flexibel powercontract even more!)

Very sharp build with all the good stuff. However, you mentioned you have 8-way seats, but I did not think you can have Crayon/Black extended leather with the 8-way. Please share where the seat specification is listed, most likely if it is the 8-way then it will just be in the Standard Equipment section and not on the Option list, but to me where you see the leather opton it should say 8-way or 14-way or 18-way in Crayon/Black extended leather. SoH is also exceptional for the age and miles.

The only option that is missing is Sports Chrono.
