I was doubting ‘cause it makes the trunk smaller…

It’s a similar build to mine. :rock: I’d suggest having black calipers instead of the standard red.

I’d recommend Bose too and the difference in boot space isn’t noticeable.

You won't notice the minimal reduction - I haven't and remember also there is a hidden storage area which is were your charging cables can be stored. This area is slightly shallower with Bose / Burmester (due to the sub) but I really don't think you'd be aware or miss it.

I've only sat in a Taycan once and found "comfort access" more of a pain than a help (and I'm a larger athlete!).

Not convinced about the passenger screen. It does break up the expanse of plastic.... But suspect it could get annoying having passengers fiddle all the time.

Can you make full use of a 22kW charger? In the UK, most cannot.

More Racetex to cover up plastics...

If you add the 22kW AC on-board charger then there is the opportunity for extensive use of public 22 kW AC charging points. Mind also that you would get a boost to your standard 11kW by default when using a 22kW charging point (normally you'd be restricted to 7.4kW when charging at home).

looks great.

Personally I think the red callipers look bad against some colours. On Neptune I would get them done black.

Guys, thanks a lot for all the accurate feedbacks, I’ve reserved the spot (car is due for june), and now I’m playing with the optionals starting with the configuration I’ve posted and following some of your suggestions. So far I’ve added the black calipers, the bose, the insulated glass and some more race tex…. I’ve taken away the comfort access and the 4 zone ac just to make the budget work….
