My 2023 doesn't have it, I wish it did. I've bought 2 other non-porsche cars recently and they both have it, how mysterious that Porsche can't find these rare chips for power steering column but everyone else can.

They could sell it as a "Driver's package" one day for an additional $3k.

People are funny.

We have threads upon threads of people yearning for analog gauges and dials and the Porches of yesteryear.

And yet in the very next thread we have people who are like, "WTF, I have to pull a freaking lever to move my steering wheel? Where's the electronics?!?!"

That has nothing to do with it. We paid for something, some got nothing in return, some got a $500 voucher to use on service or a travel mug. None of us were compensated appropriately. At least cut me a check to cover the cost of having a dealer install it later.

Mine also didn't have it. Fully expect it to, and neither Porsche or the dealer made me aware of it's absence. It still claims in settings that the steering wheel adjusts with convince/comfort enter/exit.

TBH, i always thought this was an unnecessary feature. How often do you change the steering position? Seems better suited for a Mercedes or Lexus.

While I don't really miss the electrical adjustable steering wheel part of this, I think not having the electrical wheel also eliminated the ability of the steering wheel and seats to automatically retract when powering off? This part of it might be useful for getting in and out of the car.
My seat still powers back when I shut off the power. That part was retained.

Often, depending on how tired my shoulders are, and depending on how thick a coat I am wearing that day.

It was hit or miss with 3/2022 production cars. Some got it, some didn’t, even if they were produced in the same week.

in 2022, they gave us a credit of $500 for not being able to install it.
With my ‘22 GTS November delivery Porsche added insult to injury by telling me “no $500 credit” as they had a cutoff date.

So then that begs the question.

If you (not you specifically but “you” generally) want analog why purposely choose something that is the antithesis of analog?

True, the steering wheel adjustment is done once and then mostly left. What is nice about the electrically adjusted steering wheel is the comfort access feature which raises the wheel and moves the seat back on opening the door on entry and exit. Makes getting in and out much easier, especially if you are a bit older! The memory function also works for other drivers if stored as part of the seat memory. Its a nice feature to have and regrettable that Porsche is unable to install it in many new cars.

Heard they’re able to install it in Macans as a $200 option.
