I love my Taycan, but (like all EV's) I wish it was lighter.

Mines a RWD which is obviously the lightest, but it just got me thinking how much the various options weigh?

PB+ is an obvious one, but then I got thinking about things like pano roof. And 22kw and 150kw on board charger options.
Are these heavy or light things? And do all wheel options weigh similar?

Just interest really.

PB+
Pano
Wheel choice
Brake choice (ceramics are lightest I think)
Chargers - not really.

Is the pano roof a lot more weight (high up)?

In retrospect, I maybe should have gone for the steel roof and spent the money on a nice bordeaux interior to lighten it up inside (F1eng would be happy)!

I don't have the data but it is a large chunk of toughened glass compared to a thin roof made of light aluminium or steel.

Be happy with your choice - claustrophobic otherwise and dare I say it, Bordeaux wouldn't help matters but crayon most likely would.
