as for availability i'm not sure to be honest i didn't even ask the dealer for that i just went straight for the 4

edit: and for 24 vs 25, only thing i can think of is to get the new NACS charging port cause i dont think the 24 will have it, but honestly its not going to be a roadtrip car for me, so i'll mostly charge at home. so not really a big deal for me to use an adapter if needed…

Did you consider the Thermally and Noise Insulated Glass? I'm leaning towards this option instead of the wiper (we can't have both). Noise attenuation with Burmester (which I have in my Cayman and would get again) seems like a logical match. I don't have a wiper on my Cayman and I drive it year round in Toronto. It's only during days of messy salty road spray when the rear glass becomes difficult to see through.

i originally started at ~$108k, decided to get rid of the heads up display [not even sure if it would even do much when i have directions on carplay since i never use the built in maps] and got rid of the passenger display too since i dont see much point to it, so that helped bring down the price a bit to ~$103k and this is what my current build looks like now: http://www.porsche-code.com/PRRZTMZ2

1) What is the load capacity of the 115V Power Socket? I don't see it specified, so I have no idea what it can handle. The 12V sockets on my 2019 Macan couldn't even power the air compressor Porsche originally supplied without blowing fuses.

2) I've found articles that measured sound transmission through insulated glass and found no effect for a vehicle on the road. Yet, if so, why would a manufacturer offer it? For it's thermal benefits? Subjective reports of reduced noise are suspect,

3) How many audiophiles out there consider having a custom audio system installed, instead of spending on Burmeister? That's what I've always done. It's a viable option if you don't want surround sound and can find an installer you trust. I keep the OEM gear and revert when I sell, which costs very little to do. In fact, I hope I can port my system over from my ICE Macan to a new EV.

Also if you go on a picnic or similar to again provide locational juice.
