    We have seen the online configurator exhibit several changes since the release date of 21 Nov 2025. When someone identifies a change let's post here so those of us that have placed an order but the lock date has yet to arrive has the chance to modify our order. Examples in the last 2.5 months...

    HD Matrix Headlights

    This post is for USA (maybe Canadians) residents. The expensive HD Matrix Headlights (USD 1800) are said to be worthless for us because of archaic governmental rules but now Consumer Reports says this will change for the Cayenne. I cannot vouch if this is correct and wonder why Porsche would...

    Estimated Delivery Dates - What's Yours?

    I placed an order the day after launch and unexpectedly Porsche locked that order on Dec 18th. Caught my dealer by surprise as the order was for July deliver and they expected a lock date 4 months before. My configuration did not include a trailer hitch which was unavailable on launch so I had...

    Configurator available for 2026 Cayenne Electric EV - post your build!

    I double checked and yes you are correct. Another difference is that steering position is manually adjustable with 8-way seats. I prefer manual adjustments.

    "Owning A Lucid Has Been Super Disappointing" (Engineering Explained)

    In fairness to Lucid as of the end of January they have made a huge improvement to their software to the Gravity. This was promised by the new Chief Engineer, Emad Dlala, around end of last year. All the reviewers are now saying so. Lucid is basically under new management in the last year...

    Caynne EV Exterior Color Poll: What Are You Choosing?

    Without seeing two of the three green shades I have decided on the Mystic Green Metallic because Porsche seems to be showing it a lot so they must think it is nice. I know Oak Green is nice but it only one shade darker than my Mini hot rod so I'm looking for some change. I also have a silver...

    Lasershade Interior Trim

    The configurator lets one change the swithes from black to "Silvershade" which appears to be a satin silver. Seems a lot like brushed aluminum which I can tolerate. My other options is the combination of black switches and elmwood. Hmmm?

    Not interested - where is massage seat option?

    Macan EV has massage available and it seems Porsche seats in Macan would be the same as Cayenne but apparently not.

    Configurator available for 2026 Cayenne Electric EV - post your build!

    Thanks for this. With the macan and Cayenne sharing very similar shape except at the tail I suspect the noise profile would be about the same. I am planning on not choosing the insulated glass option to gain the benefit of improved mobile phone reception and to save a few shekels. I'm also...

    Redshift Performance

    Redshift Performance informed that around August they intend to offer a remapped powertrain control module. I'm not sure how much power gain can be had but for their Taycan modules the gains are very impressive. In addition they can optionally increase recuperation torque and removal the...

    London dealer display?

    There are maybe five dealers in my city so many, many Porsches on the road. I want to see the colors that are debuting on the Cayenne Electric. It looks like I'm going to have to wing it.

    Lasershade Interior Trim

    Looking for good images and description of Lasershade Interior Trim. In the configurator it looks like a piece of tan plastic! At least on my monitor. Cayenne Electric has introduced so many new paint, leather and trim colors and my dealer has no samples to view. Making it nigh impossible to...

    Summer Range tires vs All Season tires.

    Cayenne EV, in 21" diameter, has two tire choices; summer range and all season. Anyone know any real difference like treadwear ratings or range effect? We all know all season are superior in moderately lower temperatures and summer tires have more grip in the dry.

    London dealer display?

    Any display vehicles in London? I have a Cayenne on order but can't decide on paint color. My dealer here in Texas USA doesn't even have paint samples for the colors I am considering. In about two weeks I will be visiting London to do do a final test drive and sign off on a custom RWD Rover...

    Estimated Delivery Dates - What's Yours?

    Yesterday a new allotment of allocations were given to dealers in my region. I placed an order with my original dealer at the list price. This time they immediately gave me the following: Model: Cayenne Electric Order Created: 1/27/26 Freeze Point: 4/10/26 Estimated Delivery: 8/14/26 Country...

    Estimated Delivery Dates - What's Yours?

    I already have checked with my regional dealers. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise? I have heard so many negative stories of Porsche dealer service tactics, incompetence with EV service techs and many technical issues with Taycan & Macan. I was thinking Porsche probably will be over the hump...
