I considered the powered charge port doors as our e-Tron has a version of them and they are cool. I decided against because:
a) My understanding that the vent is blocked by the powered door mechanism, my thought being that Porsche wouldn't have designed the car with open vents for no reason. Having them blocked by a convenience feature seemed like an afterthought marketing decision rather than an aerodynamic consideration.
b) $640
c) I like the look better without the black strip.
d) I assumed the manual doors would be more trouble free although apparently folks have had issues with the manual doors too.
Maybe I'll somehow regret not having them, but I don't think so.
