Haven't seen any comment to the contrary, but I presume Porsche is first giving buyers back on the final invoice the cost of the option they are not getting.
Would be really pissed if all I got was the $500 voucher for chachkas I don't want and that cost them a few cents on the dollar.

I'm so old I can remember when Porsches only had manual roll-up windows, no a/c, no adjustable steering, 4-speed was standard, 5-speed came later, no automatic trannies, radios were a dealer-installed option. They were still twice as much as a Mustang, three times as much as a VW. We still bought 'em 'cause they were a hoot to drive. Now, a restored old one is more expensive than a new one!

Relieved my car entered production in December and was largely finished before the new year... car has just shipped and is en route to Canada and I was worried there would be missing parts/features. So far my SA says its looking all good. Even more so relieved the car, despite being in production for a little over 3 months (!), just squeaked by and completed right before they closed the factory. Hoping to finally get behind the wheel next month!

Well, whether an individual can dispense with memory steering, or you ever adjust your steering wheel, I ordered it. I can be patient, but I would really like to have it--as part of the memory access. Strikes me as reasonable to expect Porsche's continuing efforts to give us what we ordered, as soon as the part becomes available.

I get it now, except that no cost standard equipment base price sort of includes the no cost because standard, not option.
Like an airline involuntary downgrade from business to economy (SFO to FRA) and try to claim refund for the difference. Depends on pricing that day. Was offered free upgrade to first next day, but not overnight hotel near SFO. Couldn't wait as had prepaid vacation starting in South Africa. So like the comfort package that includes steering wheel, got an involuntary downgrade but still a seat on the same day flight.
I got an adequate downgrade refund, only because I am a royal PITA. Like car insurance claims, don't accept phone rep's first offer. Hers was, "You have no proof that you were downgraded." Me: "What's the small claims court judge going to say when I show him the Economy boarding pass stub and paid for Business?"
So $500 worth of free useless chachkas is just their opening offer. I'd be pissed. A better offer would be $500 service discount for when the transmission breaks. Or 100k mile Porsche warranty. I just spent months on a PCNA negotiation over repeated warping carbon fiber issue. Happy camper with their acceptance of my proposal to replace not with c.f. on one side ($1100), but standard trim both sides.
