A few things I would have liked to have seen in the hybrid
- a counter for the distance driven electric since last charge or at least for the day, not reset after some amount of time., as it currently is.
- the amount charged per charge and cumulative since last reset. It would allow monitoring the home charging costs.
- the instantaneous fuel consumption, not just average.
- something that would count the fuel you save when standing still at traffic lights or traffic jams, when driving in hybrid mode.

Not sure what you mean by "instantaneous fuel consumption"...
I'd also like to see a counter saying how often the ICE turns on and off, both in the short term and for the life of the car.

Yesterday I finally picked up my new Panamera ST, after ordering it early September 2018. Really happy with the combination of Vulcan Grey paint (with painted model design), Luxor Beige/Black interior, Carbon decoration, and the Burmester sound system.

I mean by instantaneous fuel consumption the actual, current consumption, say in the last second, not average. All Audis I have had before showed you this. It allows one to learn/get an idea of the consumption versus driving style and engine temperature.

Can anyone who has added sports exhaust post-delivery/ retrofit describe the experience? Is it just a software upgrade or is there mechanical hardware that needs to be added to the exhaust system? My panamera has the sports pipes but not the sports exhaust and I would definitely like to add it.

My dealership service department informed me that I have two recalls/campaigns to address in my 2018 Pan4 E-H:
(1) a reprogram of the instrument cluster; and (2) Reprogram of the control unit for the power steering.
I'd heard of the second one, but not the first one. What's going on with the instrument cluster?

There are only two dealerships in the entire metro Vancouver - Vancouver and Langley. The one in Vancouver really sucks. SA are arrogant, service team knows nothing. When I got my e-hybrid early last year, they didn't even know how to reset the odometer??!!!
Most people (including me) regret buying car from there.

Also found this in another thread just now.

If I told you everything they did/do for me no one would believe me, they really are amazing. I know of a couple of guys (one on this forum) that have come across from Vancouver to the island to little old Victoria to buy from this dealer.

Instrument cluster recall relates to a brake pad warning message.
Has anyone experienced issues with the reverse camera wash function, not a real world issue but at times it just doesn't work.
Also, I have had the electric socket on my car replaced, the switch was freezing in cold weather and I was unable to decouple the electric charge lead. Huge expense for them to change this, they also changed the mechanism for the flap. My car is now not charging at all.
Serious unimpressed with the reliability levels of all the tech.

I have the surround view option but not the rear wiper and have seen the "wash option" pop up once in a while, but never knew that it did... I read on the 19 Macan's, there is a water nozzle that sprays water to clean the lens... does our cars have this? anyone have any experience with this?
