Ah yes, those two are certainly some of the less impactful changes for blacking things out. I had to get the dealer to show me in the shop because online they are almost identical.
Exactly that.

Mrs was a fan of the passenger display as that was contentious as well option. It may still go in line of Green paint.

I would cancel HUD and/or whatever else necessary to ensure I had RAS and PTV. But, that’s a matter of personal preference. Also, I have the spring charging doors, and they’re simple/foolproof. Can’t understand the value of powered doors. Anyway, all is a matter of personal taste; yours is going to be a sweet no matter what you order! Congrats!

Hi!! my first post here. Ready to order the following:

https://configurator.porsche.com/el...O.PX6.Q1G.QE1.VC2.VM4.VW6&loadedFrom=PS7DM383

I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you
Very nice. I like most of your picks.
Extended leather package worth considering. Save money on others, like:
Not sure Automatic four-zone air conditioning is necessary. Back passengers in my Macan, never felt the need for it. Despite, you still get some control, like turning the vents on/off or increasing, decreasing the flow.

Privacy rear glass is probably better than Electric curtains for the rear windows, and less mechanical stuff to go wrong.

Most find Passenger screen not very useful. The driver (and others) still hears the sound, even if he can't see it.
Many rarely use Porsche Electric Sport Sound.
In the end, all personal preferences.

I'd steer clear of the electric charging port cover, given all of the issues that it's had.
There have been several reported issues with the manual door too, seems like one of those things where there’s no good choice.

Has not the sole issue with the manual charge port door been purely its fit, e.g.., lacking when closed to flush lay confirm properly to its adjoining fender panels?

I do not remember one manual stuck closed. This is quite different from quite a few power ones that have been stuck in their closed position and failed to open even when the operator tried all three factory opening methods for opening the power port charge doors.

But of course I might have missed a post somewhere along the way.

It's a "Jurassic Park" option: the engineers could do it, but didn't think about whether they should do it.

On my Tesla the flip-out hatch feels cheap and has taken to spontaneously opening in the car park - to the extent I wonder whether someone has hacked the app. It also fails to open reliably on the first attempt. Will not miss it.

thank you for your reply

the 4 zone I just did it for the kids, besides it is only 500 euros difference

I already have the privacy rear glass in a package with sound & heat proof

the screen for the passenger indeed is something I find it not useful, thinking to remove it but it just looks so cool :)

the electric sport sound I like it :)

the only thing I am seriously debating is the colour. might go for the gentian blue, what is your opinion?

As to the question of Gentian Blue metallic I just took our Macan EV to a Porsche only cars and coffee with over 200 gorgeous Porsches going back to the very beginning yet including some new GT3 RS’s there. Ours was the only Macan EV there. I received a few positive comments about our Macan, While I received quite a few more about its color. Several in fact said “in hindsight I wish I had chosen Gentian Blue for my 911.” as well as several comments, “gorgeous color!”

YMMV…

...You could also consider the Frozen Blue Metallic if you like blu-ish colours, it's more lighter therefore better for hotter climates like ours and also has the tendency to shift hue relatively to the time of day and amount of ambient light,if you like such an effect.

Spoke with the dealer and they convinced me to go with Ice Gray. So gave the order for that

Mid-December it shall be in Athens but I am thinking to get the license beginning of January
