This is great. I needed a reason to spend less time on the configurator.

I have a feeling there is going to be like a month long period where Sales Advisors select the wrong options for customers in the US using this new tool... I already had to go back and check myself a couple times when I just did a mock run through lol... Its a beautiful configurator, but the single feature they promised would come with it is not there (Showing deviated stitching color for all color options)... Oh well, still nice, but really more difficult to know which boxes im checking compared to the old one. Old one was much more user friendly, but this one is more "visually stimulating".

Bingo. Deviated stitching was the first thing I looked for. Then I saw it won’t show PTS colors any longer. After a moment of frustration, I felt relief. I can back to my life now.

Haha yea... last thing I needed was another gimmick to make me play around with options even further and continue to question spending more money on this car... locked in on my build and couldnt be happier

If you have an old configuration code that includes PTS it will display it in the new configurator, but you can't change the color or start a new configuration with PTS. Weird.

The one thing about the new configurator is that it displays 3 more views: straight on front/back and an additional interior shot.

This feature used to work. Not in the US, but if you went to one of the EU configs. You could show deviated stitching and/or deviated seat centers. But apparently they took that out 2+ years ago and still can't bring it back.

Looks good and more accurate. Like it better than the old one. Will need to get used to it.
