Unprotected cheap floor vent...

[nulled]

I learned the hard way that there’s an exposed vent under the seat. My AirPods slipped inside, and it took me a solid 10 minutes to fish them out. There’s no protective mesh or guard to prevent small items from falling in, which could easily lead to clogging—especially with kids in the back. On top of that, the plastic around the vent looks quite cheap, which is disappointing for a 100k+ car... Lucid, for example, has similar vents that are well-designed and properly protected. It’s a shame to see such cost-cutting. Porsche should recall and install proper vents, this is a joke really.

Edit: It seems it's a normal car thing. Lucid's are exposed but most car makers hide them under the seat so you don't see them. However you still can get your things lost (the white thing in one of the holes are my AirPods)

Quite right, and it's very strange coming from Porsche.
I'm sure @Diego will find us something useful again in the aftermarket

Agree, that looks horrible. Can someone that has a delivery confirm that they are all that way?

After some research it seems that it's a car thing. Cayenne, Ford, Bmw, Jaguar and others have these vents. Wasn't able to find any aftermarket covers. Maybe in a few months?!

...if until time comes and get my Macan around mid 2025 nothing shows up as a solution either from Porsche themselves or aftermarket, I will certainly could design something nice in Blender and have it 3D printed for my car.Took a look to similar parts from other cars,most likely won't be difficult, seems quite simple in design,not such big of a deal...!

So another case of “nothing to see folks, I overreacted”?
