Not sure how to break this but I am on the cusp of leaving the Macan fraternity and jumping across into the Taycan world. I was really interested in a new Macan GTS, however a very good pal of mine is a salesman at Preston OPC and happened to drop by in a Taycan. I was instantly smitten. The pics do not do them any justice at all. Anyhow to cut a long story short, the new tax rulings on electric cars for company owners makes the Taycan seem even more attractive. Has anyone configured a Taycan and if so what are the “must have” options. I’ve got a test drive booked this Friday, can’t envisage me being put off by the drive of it so it’s pretty much a done deal that I will be placing an order very soon 🙏

Saw one today in my OPC and had the same thoughts. Don't look great in the pics but stunning in the metal. Big wheels certainly required. I specced one to about £97k which has a few nice options but not going mad.

Have you looked at any figures yet, wondered how the residual values look on a PCP.

Can’t give a time frame on this but had my OPC show me there order/demand screen when I was in a while ago after I questioned how it worked with the traffic light system when I was shown my slot. I could then see the full Porsche range.

I was amazed at the demand for them. Roughly I think the demand was about x3/4 across the models on average, slightly less on the Turbo S. Can’t comment on how many slots they were given but it certainly wasn’t one of each. Maybe 2/3 for that quarter.

This week I was advised a lead of around 6-8 months for an S, longer for a Turbo or Turbo S. Apparently the factory will be running 24 hours to make up for lost time these last 3 months.

Gentian blue and the other 21" wheels for me please. I hadn't added the bigger battery or any of the charging options so my spec would hit over £100k easily enough.

Complex cars and expensive to repair premiums are higher than you might expect. But offset by other savings
