Must have options???

Agreed

Wow! What a Spec, which options DIDN'T you check???

Mine won't be that much, unfortunately.

Two quick questions on the specs that people have put forward.

14 or 18 way seats. I have the former in my Taycan but test drove a Taycan TS with the latter and they "held me" better. Would value other's views on this.

Also does the thermal and noise glass make that big a difference?

Is Chrono a must have? In myTaycan (first gen) the only real benefit is the clock on the dash and the dial to switch between modes? The dial is standard in the Cayenne.

In terms of seats, that's the purpose of 18-way over 14-way but there is a sacrifice and that is that lack of adjustable headrests.

I've had both 14-way and 18-way in my Taycans but preferred the 14-way. I have 18-way in my 911 which aren't as good comfort wise as the 14-way. Best idea is to try any current Cayenne ICE with all 3 seat options to get a close approximation.

In terms of Sports Chrono (all J1.2 Taycans have the drive mode switch now on the wheel regardless whether you have SC or not) you will miss a few things such as Sport Plus mode and Sport mode in the stability management (traction control). Neither may be important to you.

I've never had noise & thermal insulated glass and couldn't justify on an EV which to me is already quiet. It will make a difference for sure but by how much in the real world is possibly subjective. It won't prevent noise travelling up through the footwells from the wheel arches which in turn will be more pronounced depending on size of rim and tyre selection. The security aspect might be the biggest advantage to justify the cost as the film in the glass is really robust and difficult to penetrate should the glass be broken e.g. during an attempted theft.
