What’s the config option you hope they adjust in future versions?

Model X and S going to Rivian R1S and Macan 4
Country flag
What are the “I want the X but don’t like…”

Bose:
I want the Bose but don’t like how the amp and woofer system takes up the well in back.
Coming from previous EV like Tesla you really get used to having that space and don’t want to give it up.

S:
I want the S but don’t want to give up range. Would be great to have S on tap, so you can bring it in Sport then go back to a Range mode to get the base level range.

HUV:
I want the huv, but don’t like the hump it adds to dash. Would be great to have it not change the dash, but just add the “hole” it projects from.

Color:
I want the Yachting Blue Metallic, but don’t like the added 13 thousand.. oh well I guess that will never change.

outofspecdave may have some thoughts based on his recent road trip?

I agree... I will miss the under trunk space in the Model 3 (and the Taycan). I could fit my grcery bags perfectly in the hole and they wouldn't slide around. However our Cayenne doesn't have it so I guess I'll just work it out. I would have ordered full leather if I could get it in chalk. We had a 2024 Macan loaner with a full leather interior in pebble grey and it looked really lovely.

Not exactly option packages but preferred changes include:

Regen on/off setting to enable something close to one pedal driving

Add Guards Red and Speed Yellow to standard exterior color options

Seat belts that don’t rattle against passenger side pillar or drop to the floor on driver side

  1. More color options for the full leather interior.
  2. More paint colors. Some of the current choices seem like fads that won't age well and seem really dated in a few years.
  3. Rear wiper for acoustic/thermal insulated glass.
  4. Sun shades that can extend when swung out to the side.

Rear wiper for acoustic/thermal insulated glass is not possible. However, I suspect this type of glass is going to replaced by gorilla glass in most of the cars in the future. This type of glass is more resistant and can be bent and drilled.

Another idea… offer a Technology package which combines HUD and Innodrive at a discount. Similar concept as the Premium package with combined interior features currently offered in the U.S. thereby making HUD a bit more reasonably priced.

yeah, it' definitely the full leather color options.
if I could have, i woulda spent the money on gettin the top option full Blackberry interior, similarly to how the chocolate brown is, on the dash and everywhere...
I wanted that in Blackberry.... I'm gonna be hurt if they come out with that option for later model years

I have acoustic/thermal glass on my Taycan Sport Turismo with a rear wiper.

There must be some logistical reason for the lack of availability, not a technical reason.

  • Make the badges optional.
  • Offer clear and smoked side marker lights.
The badges are optional in most other markets other than the US, but due to the ICE Macan's continued sales here, the Marketing department made it mandatory to differentiate the cars. Easy enough to remove with a hair dryer and dental floss.

The yellow and red side markers in the US are a NHTSA requirement and not the case in ROW.

I would definitely want more full leather options, PSCB brakes availability, PDCC or Porsche active ride and possibly a Performance, and technology option package that offers some package value when taken.

I suspect that more leather options and paint colors along with option packages will come along later in the production cycle as they streamline the processes and get the pulse of the market.
