Your Taycan looks great Rich - the Taycan's body lines are flowing!

Re: your interior, just finalized the order for a new Cayenne S with a leather interior color & design layout that is somewhat similar to yours - black/chalk for the Cayenne which I think will be striking. Yours certainly is.

I so agree with blueline, as the first thing I thought about your Taycan was how classic the exterior and interior is. Growing up I remember how cool so many interiors were in the 60s, things matched and there were many cars with a white interior. I always loved the look and thanks to Porsche you can continue with this look both elegant and sporty!

Just purchased for the wife: 4S Carrara white metallic with the Mission E wheels. Porsche CPO Dealer forgot, lost deliberately removed (IDK) the owner's manuals so reduced to trying to figure out how to operate the thing from downloaded to phone manual. Its not a 911. Press the pedal to go and press the brake to stop. Got that part down. Plenty of bells and whistles for sure. Installing the home charger currently. More photos to come.

The Taycan looks great but it definitely represents a 180° departure from your two gorgeous air-cooled 911s, so yes, quite different from your classic Porsches!

I'd ask the dealer to order you a hard copy of the Owner's Manual, including the cover. I cannot imagine them not doing that for you gratis. That seems like a small perk that they should gladly do, especially since you purchased the Taycan from them and since it is a CPO car. The manual will help significantly too - the printed book is a valuable & important thing to have.

If they squawk, ask for a copy of the CPO checklist - it's about 6-pages worth of items Porsche requires from the dealer for a vehicle to be CPO certified. The first set of data on the first page of the CPO certification lists "Owner's Manual" and it's a "Pass/Fail" entry. If it says "Pass" you are owed a manual. If it says "Fail" then supposedly Porsche will not certify.

The "Good To Know" digital manuals are better than they were a few years ago but I still find them lacking. The dealer might also be able to furnish you with a PDF of the printed manual in addition to the hard copy.
