Looks like it’s only available for the GTS, not for other trims, ST or CT :(
Give it time! It will be available on other Porsche models so will inevitably also be available on other versions of the Taycan In due course.

My Turbo S CT order locks at the end of the month, so hoping sooner rather than later.

If you’ve got the Premium Package, the VLC roof is a $3,290 ”upgrade” from the fixed panoramic roof.

Doesn’t hurt as much as $4,760 but still not sure if I’ll be adding it to my GTS build.

My GTS order will be locked in 20 days. I was going to order the VLC roof but I am not sure now after Porsche announced $3290 upgrade.

I just inquired about adding this option to my order, and was told it will add 2-3 months delay because the first available build with this option is in April. I am going to skip it and get my car in May.

Looks like it has not showed up on the GTS Sport Turismo configurator, wonder if that's coming later.

I’m sure there are significant additional electronics + wiring required. I wouldn’t be surprised if the margins on this are not super huge (compared to something like deviated stitching or coloured seatbelts).
The margins are probably insane. I assume this is the same exact gel-tech that appears on every window on every Boeing 787. I can't imagine that there is anywhere near $5k worth of tech involved. But it is cool as shit and I wish it had been an option for me! https://simpleflying.com/boeing-787-dimmable-windows/

I can't see this on the UK configurator for the Taycan?

I think it's only available on the GTS configurator at the moment.
It's under "Lighting and vision", the last option.
Strangely on my version of the UK configurator, the Acoustically insulated laminated privacy glass is the last option in that section.

Ah Ok, it is on the Saloon but not the Sport Turismo.
