Electric Door Option Missing From Configurator?

[kemidu]

Hi

Has anyone else noticed that Porsche’s official marketing videos for the new Cayenne EV (especially the Coupe) frequently show the powered/electric door opening and closing function, but the option no longer appears in either the Coupe or standard Cayenne EV configurator?


I’m pretty sure I saw this feature listed in the configurator back in February, which makes this even more confusing.


I’d really like to spec this option, so I’m wondering if anyone knows what happened:

• Was it removed due to supply/production issues?
• Delayed to a later model year?
• Market-specific restriction?
• Or was it shown in early marketing before final options were locked in?

It just seems strange that Porsche is actively showcasing the feature in promotional material while customers currently can’t configure it.


Has anyone asked their dealer or heard anything about this?

Thank you !

Reliability issues?

I wasnt even able to order the SportTechno Wheels. Not available "at the moment"

Yeah, I can't seem to find it too. Was tempted to spec the electric doors but decided to pass.

I can't imagine opening the door and waiting 1–2 seconds for it to swing out... and then having to consciously not grab the door to pull it shut, and instead activate it and wait another 2 secs for it to auto-close. Muscle memory override isn't worth it. Manual seems more natural and faster

I wrote on a different thread - I have been told by the dealer that the electric doors and massage seats may become available but not until Q3, if at all. They double checked before I ordered yesterday. In terms of the doors they haven't been given a reason. It must be a bit embarrassing for Porsche as some of the early press cars had it. But I noticed the later You Tube reviews don’t mention the option which I assume means their demos didn’t have it.

Was the option priced when it was available .

It was priced at the time - £1,632

Sad to say, I would have taken that £ 1,600 option up just as a novelty factor

I did spec them when I submitted my original order but they were removed when it came to finalise it. My local dealer didn’t know why. (uk)
