I am going to build a base model RWD Taycan for my wife. I'd like to keep it around $100k. What are some must-have options in your opinion? The options I'm on the fence about...

Performance battery plus - $5780 - we don't need the additional range, and Ive heard conflicting reports as to whether it adds performance.
PASM - $2200 - I love the air suspension in her current 2017 panamera. It rides great and I like that you can raise and lower it. If I leave off this option, do I still get air suspension?
Thermally and noise insulated glass - $1150 - I've heard this is a good cheap option for the 911, but not sure it is needed in an already super quiet car. We would be getting tinted windows anyways
Rear 2+1 seats - $480 - I like the 4-seater set up in the Panamera, but it looks like the the only difference between the 4-seater and 5-seater Taycan is the seat belt and headrest. It doesn't look like they did anything to make 2 seats roomier than 3 seats.

 

adequate charger at home or work. very close to signing on first allocation until doing due diligence found apartment chargers at 6 kwh!

in seriousness, hear the rear is more cramped, prob fastbackish style.

also, the glass is prob superfluous

i went with near stripper (not the good kind), with prem plus plus steering wheel change.

 

Ordered a RWD April 1 and took delivery last Saturday. I suggest the bigger battery and air suspension - you'll appreciate the extra range when weather is cold and the great ride comfort. Thermally inulated glass is standard on RWD. Don't waste the $ on the center rear seat - nobody is sitting there comfortably and with the optional storage package there is a tray in the center tunnel blocking any legs from fitting there. I went with chrono to get the thicker steering wheel as well. At 106K here's my white/red spec:

· Deletion of Model Designation [0NA]

· Adaptive Air Suspension incl. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) [1BK]

· Wheel Center Caps with Colored Porsche Crest [1NP]

· Fixed Panoramic Roof in Glass [3FG]

· 20" Taycan Turbo Aero Wheels [47I]

· Seat Ventilation (Front) [4D3]

· Porsche Crest on Headrests (Front and Rear) [5ZF]

· Center Console Armrest with Porsche Crest [6E2]

· Exterior Mirrors in Exterior Color [6FU]

· Door-Sill Guards in Brushed Aluminum [7M9]

· Sport Chrono Package [8LH]

· Smoking Package [9JD]

· BOSE® Surround Sound System [9VL]

· Performance Battery Plus (93.4 kWh) [J9K]

· On-Board 150 kW/400V DC Charger [KM2]

· Power Seats (14-way) with Memory Package [Q2J]

· Ambient Lighting [QQ1]

· Sport Chrono Stopwatch Dial in Bordeaux Red [UP6]
Included 3 Years of 30 Minute DC Charging Sessions at Electrify America Stations [Z3C]

 

I got mine and it was around 98k and they gave me 4k off. You want the premium package and I was not sold on the leather interior until I actually saw it and now very happy I paid the extra money for it because the Porsche crests in the seats really pop in Chalk as opposed to black. Also like the 20 inch sport aero wheels which hides the black boring calipers.
