I didn’t spec electric sport sound or electric charge cover. Are the highlighted options shown just the standard versions of these i.e. not the ones you have to pay extra for.
Are you looking at the technical details for your car within My Porsche website? If so, this is tied to your VIN and should list your exact spec.

If you have pre-empted something before delivery then perhaps the anomalies will clear. If not either you have lucked out or you have the wrong VIN would be my guess.

Nope nothing. Car arrived at Emden 12-Dec. No further update from the dealer. I did manage to add the car to my Porsche today using the vin number. It’s says the car is in “Privacy” mode so I cannot use most of the features or track where it is.
For those whose car has arrived how accurate is the options list in the my Porsche portal? Just trying to work out if I got any unexpected options?

AFAIK the Electric sound is now standard as it’s required in many jurisdictions to avoid issues with the car creeping up on pedestrians.

The pedestrian warming system / sound is standard globally for all EVs.

Not normal.to list it separately but I think people are making the connection with the optional Electric Sports Sound.

Anyone had any movement since New year? I’m still in a position of CT Turbo sat at Emden since November waiting to be transported to Sheerness but no further updates!
just heard from my SA that car arrived from Emden to Sheeness just prior to NY. Still at port. Distinct vagueness regards when it’ll be at the dealers though ?

I‘ve just noticed its standard on the turbo s now, I thought it was made standard across the range, but you are correct, sport sound is still an option For the base model.

Mine said ‘Electric Steering Column’ on other options but that was untrue.
Mine says the same. Car (CT4S) hasn't arrived at the dealer yet so it will be interesting to see if it's been added or not. I suspect it hasn't but.............

Any idea when yours finished production and headed to Emden?

Was yours affected by the 12v battery supply issue?

Not as far as I’m aware. SA was originally expecting it to arrive early December but since then there’s been no movement and no explanation. Hopefully they’d have known if it was 12v battery and would have been expecting delays anyway

Picked this beauty this afternoon! So pleased. Only had a 15 mile drive home in heavy rain and Friday afternoon traffic but the biggest difference is the comfort compared to my Jag F-Pace SVR. That was not bad but this on air and no engine sound at motorway speed just makes it a lovely place to sit.

I've got a lot of settings to play with and got to find my position on the 14 way seats. Felt very strange going from an tall SUV with a more upright seating position straight into this low down sporty feel! Think it will take some time to settle in.

One thing to note for everyone in the UK due to collect or those that have just collected but didn't notice; the 3 pin standard plug to use with just standard wall sockets was missing. Apparently there has been a recall on them and my replacement is due in a week or two. Worth checking with SA if you didn't get one, might be due to arrive or they might need to request one.

Yes they know beforehand.

I know there was a push to clear the backlog of 12v battery-less cars before end of year. Just wondering if yours may have been knocked from out of the normal shipping schedule because of this and the public holidays etc. Still it is otherwise a while for it to be in Emden. Keep pressing for an update.

Good luck ?

I actually got confirmation that it’s in Sheerness around an hour ago so now just the impatient wait for it to be transported to dealer!
