It was confirmed by my Sales Manager that Porsche EPA is rolling along. The Macan EV was recently approved. Speculation that EPA is not up to date posting applications...or processing approvals.
Took a look at a CTurbo GT today...$216k, just arrived. That's $56k more than my better optioned CGTS but it obviously has some standard equipment not available on mine. No RWS, No Soft Close, No deviated seat centers, no passenger screen and no body matching wheel Arch mouldings to name a few... I can see why some owners are having the black wheel archs and diffusser painted body color. Looks cheap to me.
I was not aware that the 2025 CGTS will have the curved driver screen until today, different look, not sure I like it. Assume that was a MY 2024 change?
Edit: The new Macan will come with the Android Automotive operating system. So will the 2025 Audi SQ5. My 2024 GMC Canyon has it and it's the best car tech I've encountered. More like a phone, intuitive and solid performance. Looks like VAG is moving away from in house systems if my info is correct.

The reason to go 21" would be to get AS tires if you live or travel in colder climates..and for a slightly softer ride. Some think the 22's look better or might like a specific wheel design better. The 22" will have less sidewall flex in corners, most probably wouldnt notice.

21 inch: Front: 285/45 R21, Rear: 315/40 R21
versus
22 inch: Front: 285/40 R22, Rear: 315/35 R22
We ordered the 21 inch wheels to get the AS tires for cold climate driving. The 21s will have a nominal 9/16 inch taller sidewall. We have other vehicles with extreme summer tires and there are trade-offs for the extra grip. Noise increases significantly and the extreme summer tires cannot be used in cold weather.

I've had PDCC on my 992 Targa 4S while not having it on my 911 GTS 2 before that. I liked it so much I ordered it on my next 911 and now have it on my Cayenne TGT versus not on my wifes base Cayenne. I think it's fantastic and I won't order another Porsche without it. My caveat is it may not be worth the $3600 to some but i love the feel and handling, cars with it feel like they are on rails. Good luck, your getting a fantastic car.
It sounds like you have a lot of experience!
How do you feel about 21 vs 22" wheels?

The PDCC was a yes for us. May have some benefit for towing.

Wait, quick Question: I chose 22" wheels on my build. It wasn't explicitly stated whether they would come with Summers, or All Seasons. My SA said that since All season is standard equipment, 22's would also come with All Seasons unless I explicitly select the option to have them come with Summer tires.
Is this not what others are hearing from their SA's? I need All Seasons on this thing since I'll be driving it in the Pacific Northwest.

On our Build Sheet it explicitly lists the wheels and tires ("All-Season Tires for 21-inch Wheels"). Maybe you can check the my.porsche.com website for your vehicle to see what it says in the "More details about the vehicle". It would be reassuring, if it stated: "All-Season Tires for 22-inch Wheels".

Our SA gave us different information (order 21 inch to get AS tires). We wanted the higher profile tire, so the 21 inch wheel was the selection and we didn't challenge the information.

There are 2 sections for "Wheels." In the first, it says "22" Exclusive Design Sport Wheels in High Gloss Black" but in the second, it says "20" Collapsible Spare Wheel" and "All-Season Tires for 21" Wheels."

FWIW my SA just confirmed that since the Standard Equipment for the 21's is All Seasons, all 22's come with All Seasons as well. An order must specify "Summer tires" to get summers, regardless of the size.
Phew

There is a named storm in the gulf, Francine. Supposed to grow into a CAT 1 hurricane and hit around the TX LA border
So perhaps the ship went into Tuxpan first. It’s not unusual if Freeport full to see it head to Mexico. My buddy watched his ship sit outside Freeport for a couple days, then go to Mexico, then return to Freeport.
Good luck, you’re close

Just finalized my spec. Freeze date is in a few days. Expecting delivery mid-December! https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PSHBWX65
The biggest thing I am bummed about is not being able to get the 22" GT Design Wheels in Satin Black (requires lightweight sport package). I wasn't a huge fan of the other 22" options, so I decided to go with the 21"s on it now. Not the end of the world.
