That's pretty good for an £85k Porsche assuming you are happy with the standard spec and stay well away from the options list.

mmmmmmmmm...................wife was going to get a Model Y when it arrives, but this is interesting and I think decent value.

mmmmmmmmm....................I would guess similar monthlies to the Model Y, and £5k more deposit?

mmmmmmmmm.........................

OP forgot to mention this is for 2021 delivery!

I'm sure there's some things I've missed but that little lot adds up to best part of £10k and I've not even started adding any of the clever Porsche only stuff.

Key one is "150kW DC on-board booster" at £294 so that you can make good use of the 150kW stations popping up now. Without it you'll get 50kW on CCS (at 400V), or need to find a special 350kW (800V) charger like Ionity.

Genuinely staggering some of the things they have as options on an £85k car.

I'm very sure if they could still get away with it, they'd fit a cassette deck and charge you uplifts for CD player and then built in HDD and then Bluetooth as the final tier.

And its OK for Tesla to charge £1450 to change the colour of the 19" wheels on a MS from Silver to a Carbon colour? Not to mention the £4,400 to upgrade to 21" wheels.

Either find both objectionable or accept thats the way the industry works.

I got a contract hire quote from a Porsche dealer in London for this model + options and they told me it was September delivery.

Go and read through the options list of the Taycan, and when you're still going after an hour perhaps you'll appreciate what we are saying.

Did you get mats with your M3. Seems 40k on an SR+ doesn’t get you any

Specifying your car is half the fun!

Yes it costs, but you can choose your priorities. I added about 12k to my taycan, but this does not include the government grant ( which Tesla does on its website).

Thing is, a taycan 4S has the quality of a £100k car, the Tesla’s I looked at had the quality of a £50k car. More no -essential toys as standard to make the price look good.

Personally I went for the handling/build quality, but understandable if people want to go Tesla . I almost chose a model S.

Porsche have always had options that ramp the price, and many accept this.
