I got the 4S fully optioned. It cost me the same amount as a plaid
Rear wheel steering, sports Chrono, PASM air suspension, extended battery, full leather interior, personalized stitching, personalized seat belts, massaging seats, Passenger display, HUD, sound insulated glass, etc to name a few options. You can really go crazy and add up to the base price. As I mentioned before, this was my YOLO car.
. You can always be sensible and get less options to stay in budget just like you do in a Tesla (where you don’t really have any options)
I also got The mamba green color which makes it stand out a little bit more than thr sea of white, silver, red and blue.
I agree with everyone that the rearview camera is not the best but honestly speaking, who is looking for a 2K auto 4K resolution in the rearview camera. All I need to make sure is that I’m not bumping into new obstacles within 1 to 2 feet of my car and the camera is adequate enough. What’s more important is that I can see the curbs with 360 view. I also get cross traffic alert
The car is amazingly quiet. I don’t have any professional sound measuring device but based on my Apple Watch, my 2018 model S was approximately 72 to 74 dB on the highway at 70 mph while the Taycan is 64 dB on the same road at the same speed under the same conditions [drove back to back]
What I do miss from the Tesla is obviously the intuitive navigation and the ease of app use. I initially used a lot of the auto pilot functionality (I have EAP) but lately, I actually prefer driving the taycan myself. I have young kids and usually take my minivan on a long road trips so having kids in the car or having a longer driving range/battery capacity is not important.
What I will not miss from Tesla is the horrible V11 UI.
