UK 4S Ordered Today (Apr 22nd)

[TiLaSoul]

Hoping for late July delivery though probably August. Going through Work EV scheme which is pretty decent value.

Interior / tech spec was pretty easy to decide on though I've added a few late editions (Sport Chrono & Elec Sound) but the colour was a nightmare.

Went in thinking Dolomite Silver was nice a classy but after driving to three different Porsche Centres in the South East and seeing Oak Green, Papaya, Ice Grey, Dolomite Silver, Copper Ruby Red, Gentian Blue and a few more, I've gone with Papaya. It looks awesome in person and I don't think I'll see too many others in the UK.

Lucky you!!! I ordered mine in March and will need to wait till September

Very nice config.

Porsche Crest on front headrests is somewhat pointless in my opinion, as not visible as soon as you sit on the seats.
For similar money, may as well go for ‘PORSCHE’ logo LED door courtesy lights, a bit of novelty for passengers when they open the door.
Personal choices but just my 2 cents.

I'd heard that they discontinued Papaya, which I thought unfortunate. Glad to see you were able to order one in that color (or, I should say, colour, since you're Bri-ish)

Thanks. Waiting for delivery is going to be tough.

The crest on the headrests just looks so nice though. It’s a stupid thing to spend money on but I think they make the interior a little classier. I’ve never cared about puddle lights.

I think they’ve removed it for ICE Macan but it’s definitely still configurable for EV. Order should be locked by end of week so hopefully all good.

Oak Green Neo is second choice for sure.

Are you absolutely certain your order isn't rejected due to Papaya colour selection?My dealer tried multiple times 20 days ago to enter my 4S order into the system to no avail due to Papaya cancelation. Even though it appears as an available option in the configurator (except the German configurator) an order of a Macan EV in this colour can't be finalised.
In any case I'll certainly contact my dealer tomorrow morning to ask him one more time if something changed and the Papaya returned as an order option again.

My SA had to try 5 or 6 different allocations before one took the papaya config , it's now in production starting soon

Now I'm thinking if there's a possibility the reason of my Papaya rejection might was I wanted to get a MY2026 car produced during September and be delivered mid October so I asked my SA to use an allocation accordingly.Maybe there are still some allocations available capable to "accept" the colour option however the production must be start as soon as possible and the car delivered before August.

That's most likely the case , mine has a manufacturing date of may15-may21 and I ordered in Feb

Mine has the lock date on June 9th, estimated production start during first week of September and estimated delivery mid October.The longer than usual time from lock date till production start most likely is because of August factory vacation pause.
I also suspect that the longer the options list is, more time is needed for the car to exit the factory and more time is needed from the one order stage to the other.

Just an update on the colour.

Dealer has confirmed Papaya no longer available. Gutted.

Going with Oak Green Neo instead.

TilaSoul - what is your approx build or delivery date. I had a follow up discussion with the salesman (my car was delivered in Feb) and he said UK orders for any Macan EV’s was minimum 6 months - so all after 2026 model year.

Same counts for Greece too.My highly spec'ed order was made on April 2nd.Car ETA to the dealership @ mid October, maybe a little later (I hope not).

Any word on new colors being released in MY26? Guards red or signal yellow would be great if they became standard color options.
