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...

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

Looks great! I particularly like the blacked-out look and the red seat belts! I'm considering adding the ridiculously overpriced option to color the Sports Chrono/Compass red to match the seat belts.

Yeah, RAS does significantly reduce turning radius on the Macan although this thread was about limiting budget. I’m not one to speak though since I’ve been failing in my recent attempts to limit my own Macan budget!

The driver at Atlanta PEC agreed that upgrading from the base Macan to the 4 was well worth it, and more beneficial than upgrading from the 4 to 4S unless you need the additional acceleration. I’m selecting the 4S rather than adding more performance options on the 4 since it was only about $4K...

True, but slightly tighter than a Cayenne! ? I was also trying to keep my budget down but couldn’t avoid picking several fun cosmetic options on my Macan build.

If you’re really trying to reduce the budget then I would skip rear axle steering as the Macan already has a short turning radius and Sports Chrono in an EV. However, I would consider upgrading to at least 14-way seats since you’ll use them every day and they have the biggest impact on comfort.

Cookie, thanks for raising this issue. I plan to order the dashcam prep to be safe. Not sure if it will be compatible with the two dashcams I’m considering — Blackvue DR970X-2CH and Thinkware U3000.

On a different note, what does everyone think about side blade options on a Volcano Gray Macan? While most threads seem to recommend exterior color side blades, many think that the standard blades blend okay with dark exterior colors (particularly VC) avoiding the need to shell out another $680...

I’m interested in the responses since I’m configuring a Volcano Grey Macan as well. What side blades are you going with — standard, high gloss black or painted in exterior color?

Fun TC, I appreciate your response since I am looking for suggestions. What’s confusing about the leather package is that the standard interior includes many of the same items in leather, so I’m not sure it’s worth the additional $960 (see image below). As far as I can tell, the only two added...

Good point since the PEC mentioned that many of their Macan EV demos were from Singapore with Euro specs.

Happy to see several other 4S orders in Volcano Grey! Here’s the build I plan to order next week. (I saw the Arctic blue seat belts at the Atlanta PEC last weekend and decided to go for it.) https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PSHVLFH8 On the fence if I should add the $960 leather...

Here’s a photo of the mobile charger in use with a Macan EV inside the Atlanta PEC last weekend. Unfortunately the charger is upside down so I couldn’t see the charger display.

The only vehicle I view as a true competitor would be the 2027 BMW iX4. I’ve enjoyed driving a Tesla dual-motor long range model Y for the past 4 years but don’t believe it to be in the same luxury sports car class as the Macan, although it has a much lower price. I saw the Polestar 4 last...
