Default Tilt/Telescope Steering Wheel - manual or power?

I'm shopping for a 2018 Panamera 4 E-hybrid Sport Turismo and I can't figure out whether the tilt/telescope adjustments for the steering wheel are manual or auto as standard equipment. I haven't seen anything about it on any build sheets I've seen. Anybody know? Thanks

2022, but may help-

Under 14 (and 18-) way seats:
14-way power seats (front) with electric adjustment of steering column
which matches my recollection that the wheel is manual unless you upgrade the seats.

Thanks - unfortunately, not clear on the 2018. I've seen the 14ways on the build sheet under Premium Package Plus but they say only "Power Seats (14 way) with Memory Package" with no mention of the steering column.

I agree it is not on the build sheet. The text I got was from the configurator. My build sheet just says

Q2J Power Seats (14-way) with Memory Package
Nothing about the power wheel

Since we're talking about the same 971 generation and assuming Porsche hasn't changed whether electric adjustment of the steering column comes standard (99.99% sure they didn't), it is manual as standard with the 8-way seats (Here's MY22 spec: https://www.porsche.com/usa/models/p...a-4s-e-hybrid/)

It is electric on the 14-way seats as described in the configurator. If the car you're looking at has the 14-way seats, it has electric adjustment. Most cars with memory seats will also remember the position of the steering column, so it makes no sense if the 14-way seats with memory don't come with electric adjustment.

It is correct that standard equipment with 8-way power seat comes with manual steering wheel fore/aft/height adjustments. I happened to save a build of a 2018 P4ST when it came out 4 years ago. You can see the wealth of standard equipment.
