Default Alignment and Tire Replacement

I was told that wheel alignments cost about $600 given I have lane change and adaptive cruise control as options on the car. They also require a full fuel tank. Is all this real?
I am having Michelin Pilot 4S installed and thought it would be worthwhile having the alignment done at the same time. Any thoughts? Cheers. Ham

The alignment is more expensive on cars with ACC. However in Atlanta, one dealer charges $375 (after PCA discount) and the other dealer charges $450. The non ACC alignment is $199.

I pay $300 for alignment, but don't have ACC. I don't know why it would be different for ACC, but PORSCHE. If you don't have a full tank of fuel, any legit shop should have ballast bags to account for fuel and driver. Have alignment checked yearly for a street car, quarterly for track duty.

How is the wear pattern on the current tires? Mileage on the current rubber? Car tracking straight and true? Might not need anything.

Thank you guys for the feedback. $600 seems a little steep for alignment, I'll discuss when I get to the dealer and hopefully get PCA discount applied too. H

600USD? I feel bad for you guys in the US. Lowered my car, corner balanced, did 4 times alignment in a row and paid almost half that.

I paid $260 for my 4 wheel alignment on my 2018 TTS at Porsche of Fairfield in CT. I have ACC and lane change assist on my car also. Sounds like they are price gouging you there.
