Single display has better integration on the dash.

I was playing around with the config and noticed that having just one display works better with the dashboard design. The vents under the centre display match up nicely with the curve next to it. But if you add a second display, that curve gets pushed all the way to the edge of the dashboard, right next to the right vent.

Good catch!
Not that I intended to get the passenger screen...

I took the second display, with all the software evolutions going on it could become interesting. Also I hope one can use apps like route planning or music, so my partner can manage that whole driving navigating in lets say another app on the HUD and main screen. It’s less than 1% of the total cost

Thanks for that. I love any post that shows a negative side to spending on extras.
I try to minimise extras to maximise value.

It always amuses me that the central screen is not exactly hard to reach for the passenger and is actually easier for a passenger to operate than the passenger screen.
For the UK market especially, the passenger will find it easier to use to use the central screen as they will probably be right handed and everyone, L or R handed, can rest their R elbow or wrist (as I am doing now while typing on a keyboard) on the central armrest or console while using the central screen.

The passenger screen is operated from the shoulders with no wrist or elbow support.
Like using an Ipad with fully extended arms. It is uncomfortable and ergonomically dumb.
Any passenger will be 100 times more comfortable entertaining themselves with a phone or pad resting gently on their lap.
Occasional interaction with the car via the central screen is not forbidden (at least in my car!)

The passenger screen is like so many Porsche extras.
'Nice to have but completely unnecessary'

Good point ! I fully agree the single central screen makes the dashboard design looking much better.
I didn’t choose the passenger screen because IMO is a nice to have option and not a Must to have !

on the other hand, I think the inclusion of the chronograph from Sport Chrono Package improves the looking of the dashboard, despite being a debatable optional.
