I wonder if VW are ‘kitchen sinking’ all the losses this financial year as they got rid of the CEO and need to show dire financial results to overcome the tremendous power the unions have in Germany. They can also blame US tariffs, governments capitulating on EV mandates and the Chinese for...

I think the German unions will have a big say in which factories are closed and this may decide which models survive or are binned. The new Cayenne EV shares the production line with the ICE Cayennes despite being different platforms - VW have offered the German unions a deal whereby if they...

I find it strange the Cayenne Coupe is on the list - I read it is a high % of sales and they’ve just started delivering Cayenne EV Coupes. As they are not expecting the EV sales to really take off, they now have a shared Cayenne ICE / EV production line in Bratislava. They are offering the...

The option is in the UK configurator. It can’t be a regulatory issue in the US as it’s still offered on the Cayenne EV there, as well as being approved for years. If it is a mistake missing from the US configurator, that applies to the ICE Macan as well.. It’s interesting that on the US...

Surely that must be a mistake in the configurator - it’s in the UK one. It can’t be a regulatory issue as it’s offered on the Cayenne EV. That said, it’s not available on the ICE in the US configurator or any of the Macan EV’s even the Turbo

I watched a lot of his videos - don’t bother anymore. He comes across to me as a die heart Tesla fan so has ended up where he wanted. In terms of buying before FSD become subscription perhaps he is thinking it will make the car worth far more when they terminate.

I have the glass and Ican confirm I’ve had no issues wth my mobile or dashcam over the last 16 months. I’m in the UK.

My UK dealer said the Cayenne would increase in price August, so will be higher for 2027 model cars. May be wrong as after all he is a salesman.

The standard Porsche conditions in the UK (may very well not be in US contracts) state the cost of the car can increase for say changes in law, but then the buyer can decline and receive their deposit back.

You’ll lose more vision whilst slow driving in rain as you can’t option a rear wiper with the glass. I didn’t want the wiper anyway and haven’t really regretted it - also I realised that the wiper would possibly cut the amount of vision even when not in use. That and I think it spoils the look...

Apologies. Just noticed you can’t option the ventilated seats as you’ve gone with the Race Tex.

I have the ‘glass’ and it doesn’t affect my iPhone reception nor is it any darker than normal privacy glass. I can’t confirm it is quieter as I haven’t driven a car without it. In my case, the tyre noise on the factory fit Bridgestones was too high so I switched to Pirelli Scorpion MS All...

Winge - I think only on specific countries for some reason

The dealer is either shafting you or didn’t explain what the £ 1k is for. As you say, all UK cars come prepared for the Porsche dashcam. The £ 1k should be for the purchase of the front and rear cameras and fitting. The cameras were about £ 400 from Porsche when I bought mine last Feb. They are...

I had the opposite. I ordered a 4 and after the dealer told me there had been a cancellation on a 4S which was about to be ‘frozen’ so got my spec and 3 months earlier. May be worth asking your sales rep any chance of a cancelled 4S built to your spec.

Having had it on my previous Merc & Lexus I would have optioned it if I could on my 2025. If nothing else, it provides reassurance that if some selfish driver parks too close for you to get in, you can drive the car out. In the UK the width of parking bays have not kept up with the growth in...

If any of the 2026 cars they have in stock have the right spec for you then why not just take one of those - is the $ 7k ‘discount sorry for delay’ or the subsidy/ tax credit that won’t apply on a car ordered now ?

jwatte - in the UK we pay the equivalent of about $ 2 / litre and you pay about $ 0.93 / litre for petrol. You pay about $ 0.18 per litre in tax we pay the equivalence of $ 0.78 so I think maybe the UK does charge enough compared with the US government. Whether the tax is spent wisely or not is...

How are the tariffs dealt with - are Porsche taking most of them. I understand they were reduced from 1 Aug to 15%.

If you ran your ICE Turbo here in the UK it would cost you about £ 0.34 / mile !
