Regarding manual steering wheel adjustment I've seen this on almost all 2023 models and some 2022 models of the Hybrids, but most if now all V8s have this so Porsche may have prioritized the top end builds for these parts. I don't believe electrical adjustable steering wheel is even mentioned anywhere as stanrard equipment?
yep, you are right, but my dealer never mentioned this and after delivery admitted to the omission.

I've actually not seen that solution before, is this something new they have made for the 2022+ models?
Dealer didn’t know either, it must be a very rare combo. It is what it is I suppose.

that makes sense, but why not let me the customer choose… ? Engineers in Stuttgart think they have it all figured out 🙂😅

That Panamera started arriving without the electrically adjustable steering wheel in summer 2022 was the reason I didn't follow through and order a Panamera ST when I got an allocation in August 2022. My understanding is that it had been a standard part of the seat memory system before then. I instead bought an in-stock Cayenne after verifying that it had an electrically adjustable steering wheel. The Cayenne I bought was the same color as and equipped very similar to the Panamera ST I would have ordered except for its lack of massage front seats, rear side window blinds and rear axle steering. Shortly after that, I noticed that Cayenne were arriving with manually adjustable steering wheels. I still would have preferred a Panamera ST due to it feeling much more like a sports car but the Cayenne has been OK enough and I have to admit that it is more practical. Getting an aftermarket trailer hitch for the Panamera would have a dicey proposition but I easily got an OEM hitch installed on the Cayenne although at a ridiculous cost. My main gripe about the Panamera was its tight rear seat space which I noticed during a test drive when my wife was driving and I was sitting behind a tall salesman who was in the front passenger seat. The Cayenne "seems" to have a little more rear seat space but I don't know for sure. I sure loved the Panamera ST and hate to see it discontinued. I don't find the regular Panamera appealing.
