Hi all:
Got a confirmed build for March, delivery in June for a Taycan GTS. My build is PNM2B3F2. This is a street car. I might track it a little, but not enough to add the obvious track performance items.
-- I live in San Francisco -- the streets are BAD, so dirt, dust, and flat tires are a problem.
-- I will occasionally drive the car to Tahoe in the winter. It's not our primary winter driver, but it will happen. I will get a separate set of tires/rims for winter.
-- I have a garage but the car will spend a few nights on the street
I'm looking for feedback on a few items.
1) Porsche Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB): For city driving with the dust and dirt get into the breaks and give me problems (they do with Ceramic Composite Brakes)?
2) Is the Night Vision addition useful? I drive a lot at night in the mountains. Anything that helps with vision late at night is a good thing. That being said, the early implementations of this function were not that good. Anyone have this one?
3) 21" Mission E Design Wheels. I love them, but 20" is better in San Francisco due to the bad roads. I'll probably downgrade, but thought I'd ask!
4) The Olea Club Leather Interior is a personal choice. I like the look of the GTS package, but I like the club leather, so this one is fixed!

Let me know if I am missing anything you like or think is important! I will have a 50 amp 240 circuit in my garage for charging.

Thanks everyone, I've super excited.

I'm not sure I'd choose the GTS in SF. The roads in the whole Bay area would have me driving a Ford Raptor Your idea of 20" wheels or less is a good one. You sure you don't want a Cross Turismo?

I like the PCSB. Most of the benefits of the PCCB without some of the bigger downside. I had night vision on two cars (Lexus and Mercedes) and it has not done a single thing for me in either car. I won't buy it with my own money.

Otherwise, enjoy!

Thanks! I looked hard at the Cross Turismo -- but I just don't like the look. I wish I did. It looks like the ultimate ski machine

Thanks re: the night vision. That's what I suspected.

​​​​​​​Most of my driving is in the valley -- but if I were commuting downtown every day it would be a different story.

Maybe get a CT 4S and have the arches painted?

Congrats! When did you place your order and deposit to get build for March?

In my experience Night Vision is not very useful, or not easy to use.

2) Not worth the $ for it's current capabilities.

I would totally avoid night vision. I had it on my Panamera. Never used it.
The sensor lens got hit by a pebble and cracked.
$6000+ repair that was not covered by warranty.
Had no choice but to get it fixed so i could sell the car.
