Lovely car, really nice. I nearly bought a CT two years ago.......

As a lifelong petrol head I love the sound of a great engine but strangely I also loved the sound of silence in the Taycan. Almost other worldly as you slide silently out of car parks etc and then boot it up the road, also in silence!

Enjoy the new car and I hope it all works out well.

It’s really beautiful. Great to hear the ride quality and the interior are impressing you. I hear the cross turismo has amazing traction in slippery conditions.

Probably will be important to get the home recharging outlet installed soon as it will be a very different experience using public chargers (and reportedly bad for the batteries to use rapid chargers too often). I too will be very interested to read your continued observations as you use the car more.

I only know one Taycan owner well and she is a bit intimidated by the width of the car on country roads, but I guess if she drove it more she would manage better. Me? I only sat in one in a showroom and I’m probably a bit too old and fat to get in and out of it easily these days. It’s very low. But I think I would enjoy the refinement of the silent pull away, and the instant punch without being compromised by a gearbox.

Interior appears to look great too. Photos would be good if you can be bothered.

I think the Cross Turismo is less low slung than the other Taycan models? 🤔

The seating position is the same in all the Taycans. But with the CT it's possible to pump the air suspension up a bit.
