Got the car today. This thing is fantastic! I have soooo much to learn and explore. What a great car! Drove it home from Austin to Houston, and stopped at an EA Fast Charger on the way home. Plug and Charge worked flawlessly. The only hiccup on the delivery is that my login wouldn’t work, so for now I am a guest.

It’s been a long day, so more to come later, but a few pics from today:

It should tell you what the vehicle type and body class is. MPV/Crossover will work for my tax reasons. Thanks.

I am not sure how to decode my VIN, other than using vinanalytics.com. How do I check to see how Porsche categorized it?

The link you posted didn't open, but this one does.

https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/

I am also interested in knowing how the NHTSA categorizes the CT for the same tax reasons as mentioned previously, since I am buying mine thru my business.

I would also appreciate if you can plug in your VIN at your convinience, thank you.

It looks awesome with the glass roof and no rails.

Does it still have mounting pads for the rails like in the configurator? I guess all my questions are about mounting bikes to the car!

Thank you for doing that, this info will help me figure out how to proceed with my upcoming purchase ??
How can the Cross Turismo not be considered a cross-over? Ugh!

I know, right? Well I may consider plan B and purchase thru my business, finance over 5 years and depreciate the full amount over the 5 years, documenting miles will be tedious but at least I have a personal vehicle so I can claim this mainly as a business vehicle.

Ok, hopefully these pics help. I think its good news and bad news for bikes. I don’t see anything like mounting pads for the rails. But….I did take the little cover off the back bumper, and it looks like everything is already there for the rear bike mount (pics in next post).
