Automatically dimming interior and exterior mirrors not fitted.

[Wilsonchrs4]

About to receive a Macan 4 and have received a message form the dealer stating that during PDI it was found that the automatic dimming interior and exterior mirror option has not been fitted by Porsche at the factory.

This is an option I selected and had to pay for. The dealer is saying it hasn't been fitted due to supply issues?

I know this is now standard on MY25 cars. Do you think Porsche has just made an error and not fitted this option? I am being asked to accept the car without the option but would prefer to have it. Just curious if anyone else has experienced the same issue.

Thanks

That's a bummer. Was this an early order? You could ask for a refund for the option or if it is a deal breaker reject it. Out of interest does your car come with the 230v socket in the boot. This was also a cost option but now standard equipment.

Yeah it was an early order before it became standard equipment.
Not sure if it will have the 230v socket but I would guess no.
Not having the dimming external mirrors doesn’t bother me so much. The internal one does though and a car of this cost should not offer this as an option.

I would not accept. My taycan was specced without and I hate driving it at night. I will be relieved when my macan is delivered within a few weeks as winter means a lot more driving in the dark. Of course seating position is way lower compared to a macan. Also realize retrofit will not be possible for exterior mirrors as the wiring harness to the mirrors will be different. So if you regret there is no way back.

Thanks I was going to ask if the dealer could retrofit the option. Not sure what to do at the minute.

I bought the taycan as a cpo at 9 months old. It seemed perfect. But then I realized the option was missing . Modern cars have such strong lights that nowadays I consider this a safety feature.

Regardless it should have been fitted if you paid for it.

Agree I’ve paid for the option. Pretty disappointed with the Porsche service, still unsure what the best option is.

cancel and re-order a new build?
This is a must have feature, IMO
