What do you suppose will change in the next update?
What TennisGuy said. That, and maybe do something about the door handles if it turns out that they are a source of widespread grumbling.
I like the overall gestalt of the 992, inside and out, but almost all of the details appear to have been phoned in. They seem to be putting their best people on the next-generation product (Taycan) and the moneymakers (SUVs). And how annoying is it that the new Macan facelift still has the traditional PDK shifter while the 911 gets a vestigial nubbin?

Probably because it's a facelift rather than a new model.
I'd advise waiting to see how owners get on with the interior over time.
I've only had an hour and a half driving the car and found it a very comfortable place to be. What will annoy me over time? What works really well? Too soon to draw any conclusions. Cabin quality seems good, seats, steering wheel and driving position appear great.
It could be that the console and gear selector become entirely accepted and some other area becomes more of a concern.
Personally the references to the original 911 dash appeals to me. The digital instrument cluster allows a lot of freedom to adapt display and control of displays.
But let's drive the thing and find out.
Lovely car Cautery! Look forward to reading about it. Two or three weeks to wait for mine.
Dumpers removed and finally my 911 IS back to be a 911! 😂
About the confort access “problem”, they know that you have to press only in that little spot of the door handle. Porsche made it like that for “safety reason” they said... 😕
The 3rd rear brake light has been “fixed” by applying a small glossy black vynil wrap in the middle of it. Now it’s like it had to be! 🥳

I had the opportunity to sit in one the other day for the first time and I really liked the interior. It felt modern and comfortable. That said, I was driving my M5 later in the day and while fiddling with the iDrive controller I realized the absence of such a controller in the 992! I tried to simulate reaching forward towards the screen to access the touch controls while driving and found it totally counter intuitive. I would have to take my eyes off the road to touch the relevant part of the screen. Is this scenario realistic or am I over thinking it? Or perhaps the PCM is only meant to be accessed while the vehicle is stationary. Maybe the new owners can share their feedback.
The traditional PDK stick should have been left alone (or upgraded to an F-16 controller a la new M5?) and maybe the "nubbin guy" should have been able to get a small joystick controller so the driver can control the PCM in a safe and non distracting way. Everyone wins!
Man I love the brake light mod! Never thought about it! You could even do a dark tint if you wanted some light coming out the middle and it’ll still look good... this is probably a no brainer for someone to come out with a pre-cut strip.

does the car sit a little lower with the pucks gone? Glad you figured this out and congrats on the new ride.
