Turbo logo in rear headrests only

[marsh3377]

I am purchasing an OPC demonstrator Taycan Turbo and I just noticed on the photos that the headrests in the front do not have the "turbo" lettering embossed, whereas the rear headrests do. Looking at the original Porsche Configurator for this car it does show the logo in the front headrests so it's all a bit odd.

Anyone seen this before? Anything I should be worried about?

Thanks.

Should be on all 4 headrests (same if Porsche shield chosen instead).
The embossing is quite shallow- not always be obvious from some angles in some lighting- might still be there?

No, definitely isn't there and now confirmed by the sales rep. Not sure what to do next!

I have them on front & back. Pretty noticeable, even in pictures.

It sounds like they swapped the headrests with another not turbo car

I'd expect the sales rep to sort it out- IMO they should have spotted and rectified it in their multipoint check that Approved Used vehicle are supposed to have passed.

The rep confirmed to me by email when I asked the question that the front didn't have the logo. So I just phoned him to tell him to go and physically check and he's just come back and said the logos are there!

Panic over!

Tell them to get it sorted toute de suite - dealers are bad for robbing Peter to pay Paul. Check also what cables and EVSE you are getting. At a minimum it should be the PMC+ (Porsche Mobile Charger Plus), EVSE to car cable, and two header cables - 3 pin (13A) and a 32A industrial / commando connector. If not, you know what to do.

Was the cable for using untethered chargers and extra...?

I guess this a Turbo-centric feature because they're standard? On my first Taycan, a RWD, I specced the Porsche crest on the front headrests only.

Maybe, there would be some logic to that. I've just now checked the configurator, and can only spot the option for a crest on the storage armrest, not headrests.

I pragmatically guess the crest size doesn't fit with the low profile of the rear headrests.

They messed up my headrests… “turbo s” printed on them. I’ve go no turbos.

Originally MY20 to MY22 I think the public AC Type 2 Mode 3 cable may have been an extra but from then on was standard.

Easy to source for around £120+

Better to have than not but most of your charging should be at DC EVSEs which are always tethered.

Make a note to never trust a sales rep? The logos might escape a casual glance, but I don't believe that someone who made an effort to confirm them could possibly have missed them.
