Very noticeable and will now always select that option in any future vehicle (after driving Taycans with and without).

Interesting to hear. Very noticeable only on highways or even in lower speeds?

a Taycan w/insulated glass is next level quiet at any speed - it's spooky and oh so nice - never ordering a Porsche with out it again.

Quieter at all speeds, even stopped (police siren behind is not so irritating).

Here is a photo of what it looks like. I was surprised at how thick it is.
I have had quiet cars and this is way quieter at all speeds.

I thought this add-on feature was only for the panoramic glass roof?.......is the windshield and rear window also different when choosing Thermally & Noise Insulated Glass ?

 

[daveo4EV]

yes and the side windows.

Pfff - my BMW E39 5 series had the Doppelverglasung option, they were 7mm thick. They were so heavy that it took almost 5 minutes for the windows to wind up

Anyway have the insulated glass in the Taycan to and it's really quite - but cell reception is affected a bit..

Ha, that's like cabal-grade bulletproof.

Shouldn't cell reception be through the car antenna on the roof?

I have noticed a definite loss of cell reception, but I figured it was because of the wireless CarPlay dongle.

I’m not aware that there is a cell (phone) antenna connection in the car - the wireless charger just charges as I’m informed. Not using Carplay though. It’s by far the car i’ve been in with the most problems in regards to keeping a good connection. A lot of people that I’ve phoned from the car tell me that thay have a hard time hearing what I say - sometimes I nearly have to “shout” ?

Not sure about Denmark but in the US there absolutely is.

This is from my EU Taycan's manual:

It is a little unclear if the external antenna is available if wireless charging and not using a wired USB-C connection.
