New Porsche Taycan Configurator

[whitex]

Yes I’m pretty sure I saw the dash cam prep on the configurator just a day or two ago. I’m on an IPad right now so more difficult to navigate, paste pics etc but if someone hasn’t done it in the next couple of hours I’ll do it when I get to work and show you.

The dashcam prep (front and back)was there in the US configurator at least over a month ago. I added it to my configuration on 6/20 when I updated it to MY23 (not that I'm holding my breath that I will be able to order one before MY24 or MY25, but I figured why not update the configuration I made over a year ago to keep it current, at least I could see the price increase and new available options).

I also downloaded the PDF when I created the code on 6/20 (I usually do, just in case to have something to compare in case options change or disappear), and the option showed like this:

Additionally, the way the glass roof interfaces with the rear window glass always bugged me.

I guess that's why black paint is an option!

I find the roof excellent and don't feel the sun or radiation on my head (we do get sun in Aberdeen on a Wednesday in July normally!) which suggests they've thought about this a lot and decided a shade is not needed. Most heat and radiation is coming from the standard windows and so the car can heat up noticeably.

God bless ceramic window tint! Besides the pano roof, all my glass is tinted with Autobahn i3 ceramic. a MUST especially in S. Florida/hot climates.

I believe the spec is radiation reduced by ⅔ or so. Not enough for me to choose it but probably OK most of the time in Aberdeenshire IME!

I don't particularly like the feel of radiation on my skin, particularly on top of my head.

Last week in NY it was 90+ degrees (33 degrees C) and I had no problem with my (hairless) head getting too hot.
The Taycan A/C is really very good, much better than any other German car I've owned. Germans in general never appreciated the need for A/C and their cars always had less than efficient A/C systems.

It is the feel of radiation I don’t like, even when it isn’t that hot.
Anyway I so much prefer the look of the ally roof - and I am tight fisted - so still happy I didn’t choose the glass roof option

IMO, It definitely looks better without glass roof, but i like it when i was on a test drive since the cockpit is brighter.
my favourite choice: metal roof with a window.

The beauty of 'build to order': you get what you want.

I'm off touring around Ireland on Sunday for a few weeks - we'll see if its also Irish weather proof!

Did the Kerry-Cork thing with my wife a few weeks ago - lets say we had 'mixed weather'! Was visiting family in Dublin but not in an EV - the rate they were charging to rent a Tesla was truly insane!!

Was given a Hyundai Hybrid (I say given as there was literally no choice despite being a (woohoo) 'President's Club' mbr with Avis). Have to say the mileage on that thing was very impressive, almost remarkable!

Will need to see more pics of Taycan's in the Irish wild - no pressure

Unfortunately, they still did not fix the weird "greenish" tint for the Volcano Grey option in the configurator; it looks so different than the real color (which is beautiful I think ):

Enjoy! I'm from Kerry myself so DM me if you need any destination charging suggestions especially around Cork or Killarney.

Thx for adding normal temperatures as well!! Appreciated

Based on how this configurator behaves at various screen sizes, I think it's one with some customisations to be used on large 16:9 touchscreens, in showrooms etc. It's extra visual rather than price-focused, and that's what people go for in those situations. Also makes those final large images when scrolling make sense.
