hmmmm…

I have a 2021 Cayenne Hybrid w/massage seats
I had a 2020 Taycan w/massage seats
I have a 2024 Macan EV w/massage seats

the current configurator has no massage seat options and they are not listed in standard equipment

honestly - this is a deal breaker for me - hopefully they will add the massage seat option to future model years - if not - I'm not going to give up my existing 2021 Cayenne

honestly it's cheaper to add an extended warranty to my 2021 Cayenne than sales tax on the new Cayenne EV…

I'm watching this closely…

my $0.02 YMMV

I get that the massage seats are a deal breaker for you. I’ve seen quite mixed feedback in the forums though. Some swear by them, while others aren’t that impressed.

I can only compare to the Polestar 3 massage seats, which I personally found to be a bit underwhelming. I’d be genuinely interested to hear what makes them a deal breaker for you.

The BMW iX message seats were/are also of no significance. Guessing that in the next Cayenne configurator update that we see the message seats as they have been a Porsche option on many models for quite a while — and a key reason why more than a few choose the 14 ways over the 18’s.

I still can’t figure out if the 18-way seats are more comfortable. I’ve driven both seat types in the Taycan and Macan but only 18-way in the Cayenne so I have no reference more than that. All 2025 models.

If you feel the Polestar 3 massage is underwhelming you will likely feel the same with Porsche. I would rank Polestar 3 massage better than Porsche. Lucid Air is the class leader.
