I updated mine from the blue to the oak green neo and ultimately changed a bunch of other features while I was at it. The configurator was updated after my initial build to be able to visualize everything better. Locks June 11th, arrive sometime between mid-August and early-September.

I am torn on the following options and would love to hear your thoughts.

Rear Axel Steering - do you guys think the tighter turn radius will be meaningful with the Macan? It's already small? Different from the Taycan.

Sport Chrono Package - don't really care about the individual settings or Sport Plus on the Macan but probably will get it as the dash is too plain without it.

Porsche Electric Sport Sound - was going to pass as it sounded gimmicky but after watching videos of the Taycan, it sounds kinda cool?

Power Charge Port Cover - need to decide if a smile on my face when charging is worth $580

InnoDrive - will pass as I won't use it, I don't use ALK either, but only concern would be if they update it to make it spectacular but what are the odds of an update?

AR Heads Up Display - not sure if I saw anything definitive about whether it works with CarPlay or not, but noticed most of you don't have it spec'd. Looks cool but not sure this is worth it?

Roof Rails - I don't like the look but this will replace our current SUV and I think I will need the ability to use a roof luggage carrier especially given the interior luggage space is much smaller. Wish it looked better though.

we had an etron with an electronic port cover. It’s cool but if it freezes up or doesn’t work, you can’t plug in. Then it becomes extremely uncool. And the Porsche one looks like it blocks the status lights on the side anyway.

My Porsche dealer was quite adamant not to go for Rear-Axel Steering. He said it's unnecessary in this size of a car. He said he has driven these cars in Germany, and he knows. So, I thought there must be a good reason, otherwise a Porsche dealer wouldn't be discouraging people adding more options. I read another comment somewhere, someone saying if he parks his Taycan with Rear-Axel Steering close to the curb, the rear wheels are prone to touching the kerb when turning. Besides, if you are not used to something, you are not going to miss it. Here, below, is another Porsche enthusiast, clearly disliking Rear-Axel Steering on his new Porsche. Watch it at 6:0 minutes onwards.

I think AR Heads Up Display is unique here and a first by anyone withaugmented reality. Thenavigation apps such as Google Maps or Waze are both pretty good. Porsche will be using Google Maps probably, but augmented reality might make it unique and interesting. Getting used to it won't take long. I optioned it.

Some others you mention are personal choices to one's own taste. Personally, I'm not for a clock in the middle of the car. For me, looking at the time on the dash/ instruments will be fine.

Rear Axel Steering - not sure how much of a difference it will make given the car size, but i'm a fan of it on my 812 so i picked it

Sport Chrono Package - i like the clock, mostly picked it for the clock and to match my GT4

Porsche Electric Sport Sound - drove a taycan with it, its…fine? didnt care enough for it to want to add it to my build

Power Charge Port Cover - skipped it cause the automatic cover is kinda slow vs the regular manual cover. plus you gotta deal with glitches or whatever if it doesn't quite recognize you trying to open it etc, just seems like more trouble than a convenience

InnoDrive - idk how much i'll use it but i'd rather order this and not use it vs wanting to use it and not having it

AR Heads Up Display - was torn on this one, mostly due to car play support cause i def wont be using porsche's nav system, but in the end i skipped to save a bit of money

Roof Rails - cant add them after the fact, i think they look fine, so i added just in case we ever want to put stuff up there

I believe, it's available on monthly subscription as well, even if you don't option it at the outset.

thats interesting, tho i'm very much against subscriptions. i wont really notice the $1000 or whatever the option costs at build time but i will definitely notice even a $10/month charge 😂 i much rather just pay for it upfront

I don't think this is true? The configurator seems to suggest that you have to pay for InnoDrive AND once the initial Connect subscription ends, you have to pay a continued subscription fee for the feature to really work (new map updates, etc)?

Hmm, interesting. It sounded totally different from the description in the configurator.

Porsche InnoDrive with Active Lane Keeping

I think I confused what you were saying with this Connect thing noted above. I visited the Connect store link provided in the note above and it sounds like the included Connect period is 10 years. I did not expect that.

So I guess what you're saying is you can opt to subscribe to InnoDrive later without buying the option up front. Or you can buy InnoDrive up front but then it seems like it works for 10 years after which you need to move to a subscription anyway to get the regular updates?

Is ACC/ALK standard on the Macan 4? I don't see either as a separate option outside of InnoDrive.

Link worked perfectly. I like your Macan.. It is going to be functional and visually pleasant.

Ordered as well - PRUCQKI9

great build.

I changed the color back to Oak Green Neo and added rear axle steering, heated GT steering wheel leather and Porsche logo in rear satin black. Surprisingly, my lock date, which had been moved previously from late April to June 6 was moved up to today. Build code as follows:
