Any thoughts on painted model designation? On regular Panamera I'd choose black paint (over Volcano Grey exterior). However since the acid green accent will remain, not sure how that will look.
Mine is very similar (PJ87CKH4) I went without the color wheel caps and am pretty happy with the look.
Edit: Sorry I forgot to add, yes if I ordered another I would go with the painted model designation just because my cleaning tools get stuck on the Panamera badge.
I went a different route and removed the model designation and went with the gloss black PORSCHE to compliment the gloss black sports design on my order.

That's very clean! Certainly gives me ideas (and possibility of ticking even more boxes...)
the reason why porsche sales have dropped, particularly in Europe, is because of the new emission tests - WLTP. Porsche literally had no car to sell as of September 2018 because only a handful model/engine combinations were available to sell.The situation is improving now but the backlog of order is just terrible - Macans sold out for this year, Cayenne delivery at the end of the year, Panamera e-hybrid not available for order in Q4 2018 etc...
I'm glad that I got my Pan4 E-Hybrid last year.
For those of us in the US (and Canada), only the ICE-only 2019 Cayennes and 2019 Panameras have been approved by CARB so far (i.e., no 2019 Macans, and no 2019 E-Hybrids), with no new postings since January:
Also, it appears that no 2019 Macans and no 2019 E-Hybrids have been certified by EPA yet, either, while almost all other 2019 Porsche models have been:

[see pdf file titled "Certified Vehicle Models (Model Years: 2014 – Present) (XLSX)(693 K, February 2019)"]
[url=https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2019-02/light-duty-vehicle-models-2014-present.xlsx]
CARB certification cannot happen until EPA certification happens first. So this doesn't look great for deliveries of base 2019 Macans in two months (which is what US dealers have been told), given the snail's pace that EPA and CARB certifications can take. The federal-government shutdown surely didn't help this
For anyone interested, I just listed my 4 E-Hybrid ST for sale in the Rennlist classifieds.
I'd appreciate any feedback on price. I'm not looking to dump the ST and I'll keep it for longer if the timing to sell isn't right. Hard to know what these are selling for on the used market.
2017-2018 Panamera factory recall - just got a notice from Porsche Canada for a safety recall due to a possible software failure.
"The electronic power steering assist might become intermittently unavailable.........and in certain traffic situations, this could increase the risk of a crash."
I personally not noticed any issue, but just booked an appointment to upgrade the software.

Me too... also to get them to look at the stupid fuel and charging doors...

I too have a sticking charging door (no problem yet with fuel door) on an April 2018 production car. I would greatly appreciate any info on the specific fix for this problem and (ideally) any Porsche reference that I can pass on to my dealer.

Porsche apparently have a test for the Panamera charging port door and if it passes, they will not replace it. They get a 500 pound gorilla to thump it - if it opens = pass. Mine is even worse after service adjustment a few weeks ago. It also sticks shut in frosty weather and then if you leave it open overnight to charge, the locking pin socket fills up with snow, which then freezes solid and the door will not latch shut. I have fixed a small flap of rubber above the socket with double sided tape, which you bend back to shut the door but when down, prevents water and snow from entering the socket. All very Rube Goldberg/Heath Robinson but it works. The charge and fuel port doors are the sort of design one used to expect from British Leyland but it is very disappointing to find them on a Porsche. The water drain in the charge port is far too small and very easily becomes blocked with leaf debris, etc. You then have to use an air line to clear it.

Just got mine along with a nice welcome package from Porsche Canada... kind of ironic eh?
