    I love my Taycan HUD. So glad I opted for it in my build specs. In this car, you will easily get to a higher speed than intended. The HUD puts it right in your line of vision and reminds you. You get continuous awareness of the speed and status without looking down from the horizon. Just such an aid to situational awareness and safe driving.

    Can you scroll through music right from the HUD ?
    BMW allows it nicely for carplay music and also pcm music

    I have taken delivery of my Taycan Grand Turismo, it’s a No Brainer. It’s absolutely great, clear and precise.
    It just makes driving an absolute pleasure.

    Most important part of this video is your explanation of how the HUD adds bolstering/ a hood to the instrument cluster- a lot of people may not like this. IMO, it takes from the modern look of the cluster inside a Taycan. My dealer didn’t go over this difference with me, I regret ordering the HUD and it’s past the freeze date. On the bright side, a HUD is useful to always see your speed especially in an electric car.

    • @50yearoldskier

      Hi Bostondon, does the hood really ruin the look that much? I am close to my freeze date. I was close to HUD but got nervous when seeing comments about the "hood"

    Hey Mason - My Cross Turismo Turbo is now built and awaiting a ship. I got the HUD and Night Vision Assist, and wonder if the Night Vision can be displayed on the HUD? If the Night Vision detects a deer approaching the street, I understand that I will get some sort of warning, but don't know how that works. If you could make a video showing that, I'd appreciate it!

    I have a 23 turbo GT, the heads up display is worth every cent. I don’t know how I ever lived without one. Definitely a must option. It’s very difficult to photograph how clear display really is. It is extremely easy to see, but doesn’t get in your way.

      Is the image clear irl? It always looks slightly blurred in these videos. I’m having to replace my Taycan (written off) and didn’t have it before but might get it on new one.

      20K/2Year - $1500
      30K/3 Year - Will vary depending on current mileage spark plugs 30K or 4 years. $2400 Brakes or Tires may due around this time a well. Brakes per axle $1600 4 tires about $1700.
      Hope this helps

    • @Pcarwhisperer
      @Pcarwhisperer  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You're welcome! The biggest difference between the two is the appearance of the clock. The Porsche Design Clock has a black face with Porsche Design on the face. The standard clock has a digital stop watch the Porsche Design watch does not.

    Simply put, if you can comfortably afford it, then yes, it's totally worth it. If you're stretching your budget, then no, it's cool but not as important as putting that money away and reinvesting it.
