Can you put it up on the passenger screen for the copilot?

Haven't tried, but I guess not...

Darn, that sounds like would be a useful feature - when driving through fog or heavy rain with a copilot, put the night vision not just in the instrument cluster but also on the passenger display.

I've ridden in the rear middle seat of my Taycan a couple of times with four other adults in the car, and it's tight, but not uncomfortable for short trips. I'm 6.0 foot/1.83 meters tall for comparison. Also, the 4+1 (or ski package) option provides a pass-through access to the trunk that is not blocked by two rear passengers.

Strange thing with both types 20 inch wheels is that they can look amazing from one angle and horrible from another.

finding the same, and the offroad design still didn’t do it for me, trying hard to like it

I think the turbo S design is the nicest 20 inch. Good compromise between comfort and looks. The off road design I don’t like.
I would consider taking the black hi gloss bumper and side pieces.

Tricky to advise wisely if the budget is not set - I'm assuming around £100K?

You are still missing a charging cable - more expensive to source after as you will need it for untethered public AC charging (< 22kW tend to be untethered ie. no cable so its a 'just in case' measure).

What will your home charging set up be - single phase, three phase etc?

I would skip the coloured crests and go monochrome.

Roof rails in black - barely notice they are there given their colour and the curvature of the car - melt into the glass roof?

Mirror base in black high gloss or body colour?

Electric sound you might quickly get bored with - I rarely switch it on.

Compass rather than chrono - more befitting as you're not tracking?

Surround view - a must

Luggage compartment net

Will you carry a bike? Either cycle carrier prep and / or rails?

Cable between vehicle and charger - 7.5m (its free, otherwise you get 4.5m)?

Will you use the PMC+ - if so will you wall mount - add the Basic Wall Mount?

Do you need rear seat (rear 2, not the +1) heating - front heating is standard?

I considered the Dolomite Silver, but eventually opted for Gentian Blue. The car can take a bold colour. I didn’t think the black/crayon ( chalk ) went well with the blueish sllver - they’re different greys altogether. I specced the chalk seat belts too.

Glass roof for sure - it’s a dark, plasticky place otherwise.

I didn’t spec the tinted rear windows - it’s not a limousine and I don’t listen to music enough to justify the upgraded stereo.

I wouldn’t spec either the electric sound or Sports Chrono again and I wish soft-close doors had been an option.

Enjoy your car !

I may be the only person who thinks this but I find privacy glass spoils the lines of the car.
If it were standard I would be happy to pay extra to delete it...

I couldn’t agree more !

Good point about the mirrors I also chose the high gloss base and painted mirrors.
And the compass. The timer made me kind of nervous. Or can it be switched off?

sport sound can also be installed afterward if you really miss it. I didn’t take it. Because I don’t want to sacrifice one of the two preference buttons for sport sound.

I agree about soft close. I have it know and during the testdrive I had to close the doors twice every time. Will have to get used to slamming them again.

thanks, I wanted a light colour as love the headlight details and they show quite well, also love the contrast with glass roof. My current 4s is white

re the sound agree but the Bose sounds just so incredible on this car that it is hard to pass

i read that aftermarket would cost about 5x times as much as takes 7 hours to install. Going for it just so I don’t regret based on the cost ?
