More pics coming… PPF, Ceramic, and Tints complete

Couple additional pics… clear side markers installed, originally had 20% tint but I took it back and installed 5% (20 was too light for me with the panoramic roof)

Wow I love your exterior design. It is so fun to see the different ways everyone designs their exterior. This was the first time buying a car that I really felt in control of exactly how it would look on the road. And it was such a new experience to now choose stuff like the color of the door handles. Usually the higher trims in cars I’ve owned had body color handles and mirrors, so I immediately gravitated towards that. But then seeing how some people would do their white cars with the black handles, I was like ok that looks cool, I get it. Yet you chose as I eventually did, not to break up the door panels of the car, but go with black accents in other places. My only last minute change was to add the glossy black on the mirror.

Sorry, don’t mean to make this about me, I just love how there’s no one “right” way to do it and somehow, God love them, Porsche manages to make it so we can’t go wrong! I love your 4S and hope mine and everyone else’s makes it by the end of the month!

Variety is the spice of life! I was going for a Panda look. You’ve earned being able to afford what you like, so do what makes you happy!

FYI… my neighbor just bought a Rivian but Taycans are waaay cooler!

As a point of reference, the ship had left the port (even according to TYD) before TYD showed it offloaded. I also got pictures from my SA of the car being prepped (at the dealer) before TYD updated its status to in transport to the dealer. So TYD definitely lags with its updates. It took 2 days from arrival in Jacksonville to leaving the port - that was early February.

As for the monroney sticker, unfortunately I don't remember where I found it, but I did manage download it from somewhere on the Porsche site. Interestingly, the sticker did not include the P4S option (Innodrive). I don't care as it appears to be enabled in the car, and it's an FOD option so purchasable after delivery anyways, so wouldn't surprise the next owner if it was not on the original sticker.

EDIT: found where it is, under the details page of your car on My Porsche (assuming you have the VIN added to your account), looks like this:

Same section towards the bottom as shopping for tires, etc.

Since this topic is brought up and I am hoping for May delivery, could someone help guide me what steps to take as I have my TYD at Stage 3 with a VIN now, total surprise as it is like real now and before was just a picture. Specifically, I put request to add it to My Garage and attached my order for proof of ownership, not sure if that will do. Then I assume if they approve and add it then I can print the sticker, can do that for existing cars. What else is recommended to setup ahead of the delivery in the My Porsche.

You really shouldn't even have to attach any docs. I know it says that the first time you attempt to add, but I just messed around exiting and refreshing and coming back to the website to push the vin through even though I already had and then it added. It's just buggy. Mess around with the site and you'll see everything pop up.

As far as set up, I'm about to do that now, as I think my car is for real coming!

So my husband is waiting for our Pilot right now at Honda service getting a recall thing done. I had him walk next door to Porsche (and of course spy around the lot). Car isn't there, but I told him to go in and see if he can get a printout or picture of the dealer status screen, which I've never even seen. Our SA isn't there today, but another SA was happy to help and printed it out. So hubby took a picture and just texted it to me. The SA said the dealership has paid for the car and they're just waiting for it, and if it comes PDI prep would start on Monday, but we're free to come see it on arrival. And again, no campaign listed for my VIN.
I guess these statuses mean it's actually going to arrive, I just can't believe I got so lucky for once.

My SA took care of setting everything in the App once the car got to the dealership. Make your SA earn their money since we’re all paying MSRP.

My husband was just texting that the Pilot is finally done and he's on his way home.
Then he saw a truck. But it was leaving.

And then this:

He is now being directed to GTF to the bank.

Will be a long weekend for you Annie.

Congrats! I'm jealous... I need whatever magic you have. My build was complete Feb. 15th but no clue when it'll ever leave France/Germany.

Carefully following the Porsche mantra of "never apologise"

20% in the front looks so cool but looks so dark too lol. What brand of tint did you get?

You are too kind, thank you!! I surprised him with the 2020 Kia Stinger GT2 he wanted for years during the whole mid-Covid new car discount/trade-in crazy $$$ period. It was at that point that I started pouting...But when do I get MY car . And so it began.... Saw the Taycan 2 years ago... didn't even know it was electric, and I said "THAT'S IT!!!" I don't read about cars much simply because tempting myself gets me into trouble and then I have to reverse course for a reality check.

So he's got his, I got mine, and we still have a rock solid Pilot for those trips to Ikea, carting my first off to college, and the teenagers one by one learning to drive. So blessed!
