Congrats!
After seeing it in person, do you think the full leather with the Papaya stitching would look good on a Volcano Gray exterior?
That is the spec I ordered our S for March delivery but haven't seen the color in real life (the interior).
Thanks!

I love the papaya stitching because it looks nice and matches the paint. Personally if the car was not that color I don't think I would have even considered orange stitching. I would have gone more classic like white or red. But it does look great. Much better than I expected.

What's the size of the 2022 GTS Gas Tank?

To wash their own. Looks like the foil on an electric razor to me and like it's unfinished. A test for before it was removed and color matched to the rest of the car. They're doing it on all the models now from the 911 up through the Cayenne.
It's OK though, Porsche has gone in a different direction from what is love about cars csince the 997 so I'm not their target buyer anymore. I want less tech, fewer electronic driving aids, and vehicles that are easier to DIY. I don't want or need torque vectoring, laser distancing cruise control, rain sensors in the fenders that control the power in my 911 when it's wet, black boxes instead of mechanical parts and a bunch of touchscreens inside. I'd rather drive my cars and be in control of everything than a passenger sitting in the driver's seat. Guess that's why my last 4 Porsche acquisitions are 40 year old 928s and a 12 year old Cayenne. The new cars are very capable, I just don't like the styling or the lack of engagement and why I don't have Apple carplay or Android Auto in any of my 8 cars.

I have a 48 year old 914 with carbs (not getting more analog than that) and 2 928s. If the Lotus cars were more reliable and I wasn't so far down the Porsche rabbit hole, I might consider one.

They do suffer from liftoff oversteer, no doubt about that, but that's also the beauty of them. Once you learn how to harness that and use it to your advantage on track, it's a ton of fun!
