Finally pulled the trigger on a Taycan 4S and it arrives in Portland next Thursday! I am beyond stoked but now I am obsessing over the interior. I read that a center console organizer is a life saver since the storage is a bottomless pit but then I saw reviews saying it messes with the wireless charging or gets way too hot?
I also need mats because of the rain here but are the OEM ones actually worth it? Some say they are too thin and to go with TuxMat instead. I have about $500 set aside for small stuff and want to get it right. What are the actual essentials you guys use every single day...

In my experience, fingerprints on the gloss black are the worst part. I've tried many cloths but keep a CleanVu Microfiber Screen Cleaning Cloth 12x12 in the door for daily wipes. Also, the key fob scratches instantly, so I use a Ohtwo Porsche Key Fob Cover Silicone Black. It's cheap and saves the plastic. Skip the expensive extras, these are the real day-to-day essentials.

Congrats on the 4S! Honestly, the interior storage is just as annoying as you have heard. I was really disappointed with the OEM floor mats too. For a car at this price point, the factory ones are incredibly flimsy and they barely hold any water or mud. Living in Portland, you will probably ruin the carpet in a week if you stick with them... they just arent as good as expected for PNW winters. I ended up swapping things around after a few failed attempts. Here is what actually made the car livable for me:
- TuxMat Porsche Taycan Custom Floor Mats
- These offer way more coverage than the Porsche ones. They are basically a necessity if you dont want soggy carpets.
- Spigen Glas.tR Slim Screen Protector for Porsche Taycan
- Tbh the main screen is a total fingerprint magnet and this makes cleaning it so much easier.
- YEE PIN Porsche Taycan Center Console Organizer Tray
- I had issues with generic ones blocking the charger, but this specific one has better cutouts, tho it still gets a bit warm. Unfortunately, even with the best organizer, that wireless charger is still pretty mediocre. It is just a design flaw we have to live with. You are gonna absolutely love the 4S tho, its such a beast on the road regardless of the storage gripes. Hit me up if you have more questions about the setup!

I'm always worried about coffee spills so I bought the Suncoast Parts Porsche Taycan Cup Holder Insert. It's been very reliable and I'm satisfied with the secure fit for my mugs.

Congrats on the 4S! Coming from someone who has owned a few EVs now, my biggest piece of advice is to stay away from the heavy-duty rubber trunk liners that look like industrial flooring. They are incredibly stiff, and honestly, they just make the interior feel cheap. You really want to preserve that premium cabin feel, so stick with high-quality fitted fabrics that actually match the trim. Another thing to avoid is those cheap adhesive screen protectors found on auction sites. They tend to bubble after a couple of months once the cabin hits high temperatures in the sun, and the residue they leave behind is a total nightmare to clean off the infotainment glass. Just keep a dedicated soft cloth handy instead. Regarding the console heat, honestly, just keep your device out of that specific tray if you are charging for long periods, especially in summer. It is a known design bottleneck in these cars and no plastic organizer is gonna fix the thermal issue.
