The car looks awesome congrats on the new ride. Feel free to share the checklist you used and any recommendations you have for others.
This is the one I used. Its extensive so we didn'tgo through every single item like check charging etc. We also printed out a photo of a 3d image to easily mark areas of the issue.
Picked up the car today. Went very smooth. Only found a couple blemishes inside and out and they fixed them all. There's one very slightly misaligned panel in the backseat trim where the 'leather' meets the trim near the quarter panel window but there's nothing they can do as it's how that piece was put together. It's also likely something only I'm going to notice and I'll forget about in a week.
Everything else looked/worked fine. On to the full road test!That’s great! Can’t wait to join you. Order date 29 Nov. Edd Dec 23 - Jan 24Picked up the car today. Went very smooth.

Honestly, it's an apples to orange compare. The 4S has a ridiculous ride/handling balance. It soaks up road imperfections where the Tesla just bumps and judders. Dont need to slow down for corners in the 4S, the thing rides on rails. And the interior quality is on another level, we have gorgeous full red leather and doors close with a solid thunk whereas Tesla doors feel like tin can. Range indicated is pretty accurate, we charge to 80% which usually indicates and returns 230-240 mile range. I think could squeeze close to 300 on freeway driving on 100 percent charge if kept at a steady 70mph but havent tried. Only thing cheap about Porsche is that our ~$150k car came with a manually adjustable steering column (think they took out in 2023 bc of chip shortage, but still it's a pretty low end feature in an otherwise high end car). That's not an issue on a pre-owned 2022 however. Trunk on Taycan is a joke and my 13 year old son barely fits in the back seat. Been very hard to use for grocery shopping, errands or golf. It's a driver's car or a date night car.
Think the 2013s still look better. Had it detailed a few weeks ago and aside from some fading on the fake carbon fiber spoiler, the thing (on 21 turbines) looks hot. My Florida neighbors (where I now keep the car) think it's brand new and the coolest thing ever as there arent many Tesla in the neighborhood there whereas my street in LA has as many Teslas as people.
Im waiting for delivery of the exact color combo MSLR. I opted for the yoke though. Beautiful car!
Congrats. The blue is a nice color on the refresh S. I have a MSM 2017 S and originally ordered my 2023 in blue; I ended up switching to SG though (guess I cant stray too far away from grey...lol)
I’ve actually been debating switching to stealth gray. Both are great colors
