I just returned from my dealer and spoke to the salesperson. It’s likely we only get 4 colored seatbelts. The middle one in the rear has become black all time.
They just got in a new Macan, and it also had only 4 colored seatbelts…
So I think the Taycan will also get only 4 colored seatbelts…

Found out yesterday that my car locked early, so I never got the seatbelt change in the system. Fine with that. Going to enjoy myself and ignore the configurator for a few months.

The spoiler color behavior is all over the place; I can get it to change to body color by selecting "Porsche Crest on Headrests (Front)". What!? :rolleyes:

My 21 car came with three red seatbelts in the back.

Well at least the Configurator now shows the Glass Roof. It appears that the Spoiler is clearly Black if you have the Inlays in high gloss black.

Hate to be a party pooper :) but nope unfortuanltey not the case with the spoiler - I just built a CT4S (separate to my personal build) and have the gloss black inlays and whilst the pano roof (FINALLY) displays in the US config., the spoiler is still body colored :).

(Again when you add the ORP in gloss black this does result in the Config. showing a black spoiler for a CT4S build)

I'm going with the folks receiving the '22 CT's which so far all appear to have the black spoiler and just ignoring this as a persistent glitch.

Here is a pic as of a build from a couple of minutes ago:

There is obviously a glitch in the system as I keep getting the Black Spoiler. In addition if you send the Configuration to yourself you get the non glass version of the roof or you keep getting an error message. It’s obv not correctly working.

I was told black spoiler 2 days ago based on a call to a Taycan product specialist in Germany and that the configuration is wrong.

I should add I get the Black Spoiler when I select the Black Inlays. It appears to also change to black when you select numerous items.

I just checked my build code and it has now reverted back to the black spoiler. My car commenced production on the 8th of October and is scheduled to complete production on the 25th of November. I really hope I have the black spoiler as it reduces the visual length of the roofline and helps accentuate the other high gloss black trim elements. I wish their was a way in confirming what I am getting so I can prepare myself for any disappointment come delivery time in March.

Just received a car is built email from Porsche (CP 8), 4 days early - now hoping they can squeeze it in to get here bef EOY but prob unlikely - scheduled to be here Jan 7 2022 - never know. But, in regard you concern I am 99% that the spoiler will be black and strongly suspect you're good to go.

On 13-Nov, I took delivery of a MY22 FBM Taycan 4 CT with a 13-Sep freeze date. It has a gloss black spoiler. The configurator originally showed gloss black, changed to body color, and then changed back to gloss black over a period of a few weeks.

Now that the GTS is released, I'm thinking we know the reason for the configurator issues. Body colored spoiler and seatbelts in red for the outboard passengers are both in evidence.
