Hi all,
I just want to get everyone's opinion here.
My freeze date is coming next week, but the sole dealer in the city only has a Turbo show car (no test drive).
The car is in the 115% tax bracket in the city I live in, so I have to super careful with the options I choose.
I do own a Model S P85D and Model X 90D.
I am planning on keeping the car for 5-6 years.
My Porsche code is: http://www.porsche-code.com/PL157S45
So here are the options that I have not checked but is considering:
Any opinions/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

So here are the options that I have not checked but is considering:
- Red two-tone Leather (USD 10,800): Anyone here has partial leather? Does it look cheap and did you regret not upgrading? I am ok with a black interior, but I believe that a USD250K car should have a leather dashboard. and door trim. The problem is that the salesman advised against the option because the residual value of this option in this market is zero.
- 14/18 ways seat(USD3,500/4,500): In all my previous cars, I always deflate my lumbar support and never extend the squab. However, with the car being so low, is it difficult to get in and out without the seat automatically moving back? Also, does the 8 way/ 14 ways provide enough side support? Kerb view parking aid is standard in all specs.
- Electric Sport Sound (USD1,300) I love good engine sound...but is the soundtrack worth USD1,300
- Performance Battery Plus (USD17,500) I do not have overnight charging and the fastest DC chargers here (if you can find one) are all 50kWh. However, the furthest you can drive here is 30mi/50km. I can survive with destination charging on my P85D for 5 days before doing a supercharging session. Also, can anyone here tell the difference in performance with/without the big battery? My salesman is also against me checking this option
- PDCC (USD8,700) Many hilly/bendy roads here. I drive above speed limits, but never anywhere near a car's limit...Already got rear-axle steering and Chrono Package.
- PTV+ (USD4,000) My previous car has torque vectoring, but I don't know if it has ever kicked in...Without PTV+ and PDCC...am I paying USD3,000 for a clock on my dash with the Chrono package?
- Accent Package Neodyme (USD 1,500). I have this checked because I do like some brightness and contrast in a dark cabin. I am just worried if it is too bling bling since I don't know which picture most accurately reflects the actual color. I also have the ambient lighting...so will that do the same trick?
- Porsche Crest on Headrests (Front Seats) (USD610)...I am used to having some model designation in my front seats....but is this option too obnoxious?
- Interior Carbon Trim (USD5,400)...The dealer doesn't know whether this will be glossy or matt Carbon...anyone has a good picture of the trim? I don't like the look or the carbon door sill shown in the configurator.
- Passenger Display (USD 2,700) I ticked this option...I think it is stupid as I hate people messing with my car setting...but it makes the car look so much cooler...Can someone talk me out of wasting this money
- Bose (USD3,600). I never liked BOSE. I had a last-generation Audi A6 and S7. One with bose and one with Standard...I actually preferred the stock version better. I am by no means an audiophile, but I don't mind spending money on good audio systems. I like to listen to more crisp and clear vocals if you know what I mean....Please do not tell me to go with the Burmester because it is a USD16,000 option here.
- Electric Charging door (USD1,700) Looks cool, and I think the manual door is sticking out too much and someone may break /bend it by accident with all the tight parking here in the city...
Any opinions/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
