Did you seriously think it would? I know prototypes had them, but I never doubted it was only camo.
Taycan Official Launch
Appreciate the prototypes had very fake stuck on exhausts that were obviously camouflage. But who knows, as with many other cars across VAG, Porsche might have had something fake. There's different levels of fakeness. The worst being the completely fake pipes that don't do anything, e.g. the pipes on the latest S4, S5 etc. Middle of the road are large exhaust outlets but with a smaller exhaust pointing at it from behind. Then you have trim that's designed to look like an exhaust from a distance, but close up there's nothing there. My relief is that the Taycan doesn't have any kind of trim that even vaguely looks like an exhaust, or even a nod to where the exhaust would otherwise be.

Spoke to my OPC today about Taycan allocations, deposits, lead-times, etc.
Turbo orders outweigh Turbo S orders 70-30% at present.
If I wanted a Turbo S then I’m looking at May of next year.
London seem to be struggling with allocations and are ringing other dealerships trying to negotiate more.
It’ll cost me £5k for my place in the queue.
£150k though

Personally I wouldn’t jump into a gen 1 but would wait and see what needs ironing out. Whilst I think the car looks compelling it is still untested in the wild and we don’t know what issues will manifest themselvessmithy37 wrote:Spoke to my OPC today about Taycan allocations, deposits, lead-times, etc.

Not in the least surprised that Turbo orders are far outstripping Turbo S ones. And when the lower trim levels come out, they’ll outsell the Turbo in turn.smithy37 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 8:09 pm Spoke to my OPC today about Taycan allocations, deposits, lead-times, etc.

8 months doesn’t actually seem too bad a lead time, recalling how long some folks had to wait for a Macan in the early days.
So at £150k, what options have you added to the Turbo S?

This is what I was contemplating:

I am looking to see what options I have regarding purchasing this as a company car, being an SME business owner. Benefit in kind tax is 0% from next April. I’m talking to my accountant about this as I’m not sure about a £150k company car.
My SA has rang me twice already since I initially enquired so he is certainly keen to get my deposit.

^^^ Very nice, Smithy.
As I said, I'm surprised with 'only' an 8 month lead time & that the SA is chasing you for your order/deposit. Either they have really ramped up Taycan production capacity, or the initial orders for Turbo & Turbo S are not quite as high as they expected...?
I wonder when they'll be announcing the more mainstream models in the Taycan range...

We’re now down to £1k deposit after a further call and numerous emails. Current estimate for collection is now June, although I’m in no rush! I’ve a 911 GTS to enjoyWing Commander wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 1:32 pm ^^^ Very nice, Smithy.

Had a long discussion with my accountant today and quite frankly I’m stunned I can make this work as a company car. The wife is on board so I’m going to sleep on it. If I still feel the same way tomorrow then I’m in.
This escalated quickly
