Does anyone else have an issue as I do on the picture?
The dash has uneven lines.

I have regular leather package (Black/Chalk) and seeing similar lines form on the center console lid after just a few months and 3,000 miles of extreme care. I do not have the lines you are showing on the dash. My dealer said this is totally normal. We have Macan and Cayenne with full leather setups and no lines of this kind or any kind anywhere after years of use. I am learning that Taycan is special as far as any interior materials go. I have learned that Olea is super soft and develops wear patters very quickly, so this was out of the question for me as an option.

I’m guessing that’s from the sun?

Not on my Taycan's Olea yet.

When was your Taycan built? (Mine was built in March/April 2022.)

What is the climate where you live? (It's very hot and dry here in the Phoenix AZ USA area.)

Is your car parked outside often? (Mine isn't.)

Do you routinely clean and condition the leather? (I've done this twice in 16 months.)

2021, it’s a CPO with 7k miles. Used to be in New Orleans.
I just picked up the car so did condition it first time.
I’d imagine such damage would be on a 7 year old car with 50k miles, but mine is practically brand new.

These are stretch marks and absolutely not normal. You can try to fix them yourself using some heat, like a blow dryer but if car still in warranty I would press the dealer to replace it.

Yeah, it’s still under warranty. Going to address this when visit them. Thanks!
