Looks great although if you’re planning to spend that much on options I would consider going with the 4 or 4S.

Oh, I shared the wrong link 🤦‍♂️ It’s the 4 I’m ordering with this config. I’ve updated the link 😅

I was dead sure there was a topic for this but couldn't find it... so here goes.

I've finally firmed up my configuration. Lock day is just a few weeks away but I'm done tinkering with the specs.

Porsche Macan Turbo Electric - Code PRBZ88E2
Delivery scheduled for October.
  • Ice Grey Metallic
  • Leather package in Black/Chalk
  • 21" Macan Turbo Wheels
  • Sports Chrono Package
  • Rear Axle Steering
  • InnoDrive

PRBZ88E2



Will still try to get the "Model Designation on Rear and "electric" Logo on Side" removed, don't have the option to in the US configurator but exists in other countries (option code 0NA).

Kept the options to a slim $6.3k, half of that for performance related items.

What about you?
I'm considering chalk interior but concerned about colour transfer from jeans. My Merino X5 had this but the dye came off, whereas my current iX3, the colour won't come fully off.

I confugured my 4S with Volcano Grey Metallic in exterior color and:
Exterior Mirrors Painted in High Gloss Black
Window Trim in High Gloss Black
Door Handles in High Gloss Black
Side Blades in High Gloss Black

I think the contrast will be good, but now I'm thinking maybe not ....

I plan to order a 4S in Volcano Grey as well. I was going back and forth between the side blades in the standard gray plastic vs high gloss black vs painted in exterior color. Ultimately I decided to play it safe and go with side blades in matching exterior color but did change the window trim from silver to high glass black.

Here’s my current configuration (and hopefully the final one, after hundreds of iterations):

Been hearing horror stories about light colors too… may go with black/turbonite in the end.

What deposit amount did everyone have to pay when placing an order?

My dealer requested $2,500 plus 25% of options, totaling about $5,500.

At order placement (with a commission number/firm allocation) - 10%. So $11k.

2 other dealerships around here were asking for the same.

BMW X 5. Macan ev turbo ordered

I had to put 5000 down to be second on a waiting list for a turbo allocation (Wisconsin). Then I found an open allocation nearby. They only needed 2000 down to place the order.

Sounds like I should move to Norway or Austria to avoid a deposit! Although I’m guessing it’s more expensive to buy the Macan there…
