Mine came with running boards, they're a bit narrow but great for cleaning the roof.

I’m 5ft 3 so still can’t wash the Taycan roof.. just the roof rails :D The gap bits (what is the technical term for these?!?) behind the front wheels/at the front of the doors are constantly full of stones! I keep picking them out before I set off because I’m worried they’ll blow out at speed and chip my doors. How are you getting on with speed bumps and always remembering to check which suspension level you’re at? I scuffed the plastic front wheel trims on my second day of owning mine when I went over a speed bump without remembering I was in sports+ :( Lesson learned. Never needed to worry about speed bumps in the Macan!

Speed bumps do need a little respect but auto lift is brilliant, so long as you slow down enough!

Problem with the open vents behind the front wheels is solved by having the electric opening charger covers. One of the main reasons I specced them and also the fact they are quite cool!

I think I jinxed myself with my post… Just drove home and heard a tiny scuff as I went over a speed bump… Looked down and realised I was still in the lowest suspension setting, ahh! I even have smart lift programmed for this road too, but wasn’t going slow enough for it to activate. Lesson clearly NOT learned :oops: I imagine the underside is pretty sturdy and most Taycans are bound to have a scuff or two on a speed bump here and there over the car’s lifetime, but will still probably be kicking myself all night!

If you can’t see the scuff, it doesn’t exist 👍

The best thing about a Taycan is that you get a lot of this...........
but being a bloke I can't find it..........
