Hi everyone:
It was suggested I post pictures of my new Turbo S in this color as an actual delivery. Sorry for the quality, they are quick snaps on my iPhone for a friend, so they are NOT beauty shots. But this beast is in the wild. Interior is Tex Black/Slate Gray. And yes my neck hurts, I have a constant slight headache, no idea why....
I'll take more pics as weather gets nice again and I have time. So far (and I only have a couple of hours stick time) are as follows:
I'm kind of sorry I have to put it away right now, we will be having minor winter event and of course they will coat the roads with chemicals and I am still in that phase where I am NOT doing that to this car.
Please ask any question if you are interested.

I'll take more pics as weather gets nice again and I have time. So far (and I only have a couple of hours stick time) are as follows:
- It is a beast like to other EV I have owner so far, but that is not surprising.
- It ABSOLUTELY hides it mass very well.
- It is surgical precision, in both drivetrain, suspension and handling. I do have the PDCC and for me I wouldn't do without it at this trim level. At 4S I would probably skip.
- Interior is absolutely first rate. Everything from fit and finish, to screens, to even the graphics are near perfect. And I say this as someone who is rather picky about this. Please do not take this the wrong way, but I have never been a fan of Porsche interiors, they were ok. This is Audi grade refined.
- NO ONE needs the Turbo/Turbo S speeds unless you just want to bragging rights or want to take it to the track. There are no roads in US that require this car (well maybe very few). It is WAY overkill for a daily drive, the 4S is simply overkill!
- I haven't pushed the car too much yet as I don't have enough experience and it has been around 45-50F but it already matches or maybe exceeds the Alfa 4C and the i8.
- The nice surprise was the mobility charger (and the car) actually can charge at 9KWHr (vs 5-7 typical for most other cars) assuming you install a 50A 240 circuit. Not needed but a nice to have (I already have 2 7KW EVSEs in my garage). The mobility charger, which I would not have bought, is actually worthwhile, as it has a web interface, nice display, and better functionality. Again, not necessary, any 7KW EVSE for 300-400 will do, but its a refined one.
- I wish there were some better shortcuts, like to change in interior lighting brightness at night (which I tend to do a lot) is painful. There is no adjust knob, and the item is buried 3 menus deep AND is grayed out when the car is moving. This is my only gripe so far. So you can see there isn't much negative to say.
I'm kind of sorry I have to put it away right now, we will be having minor winter event and of course they will coat the roads with chemicals and I am still in that phase where I am NOT doing that to this car.
