Nice! Would have done an S but they were not announced after we had our build frozen. Looks great!

Very nice, looks like the same as my config, but I keep waffling on color. I'm also thinking STD chrome window surrounds.
I too was waffling about color prior to placing my order and was disappointed that there were no red or yellow exterior options. The Gentian blue looks great in person, however I had a blue Tesla for the past several years and watched a change.

Black looks awesome but only when it’s clean, so I decided on the sophisticated-looking Volcano Gray after seeing it on a Panamera.

The window surround color is a personal preference but I think it blends much better in the high gloss black. That being said, I saved a few dollars by going with the standard side blades and silver badges which looked okay in the photos I’ve seen.

Looks awesome and big congrats. VG was actually my original colour! However, after lots of dark grey cars and currently on X5 I changed at last minute to Ice Grey. Your spec is very similar to mine and hoping for delivery in the UK pre Christmas :)
The wheels look good too... This was something I was a bit worried about... Enjoy driving and any feedback on speed will be great to read :)

The 2 dealers in the Boston area must have 20 Macan EVs on the lot, some sold. 15 of them are Volcano. Maybe I should be different 🙂 That Aventurine Green looks great in most lighting. My Mini SE is arctic silver which is about the same as the ice grey, looks white. Wife says she doesn't like white or black. So I was thinking Dolomite with its hint of blue. But then I get drawn back to Volcano which may be the best compromise for me. I like the Fountain Blue but that is a 10+K paint option.

I wish I had changed the silver electric logo, makes it a target. However, everything else is good to go with standard blades, etc.

You can DIY a logo swap for a couple hundred bucks as soon as Suncoast has the part. It's very easy. Or take 3 minutes and remove it.

If I had gotten the white, blue or black exterior then I would have opted for the black logos. I thought the silver logos blended okay with Volcano Grey so I didn’t bother paying for the option. I did opt for the black window frames on my 4S (which were standard on the 4).

Yeah, I checked the Macan EV inventory in Charlotte and Volcano Grey is by far the most common color here as well. Good thing I got the red seatbelts and compass dial to stand out from the rest! 🤣
