The change in the configuration tool (US) with the new technology package seems to provide a 2k USD discount vs the individual options. But strangely when selected one gets the parking assist (along with HUD and passenger display) but removes the lane change assist that can no longer be selected if one wants the package. A bit strange.

To clarify: the primary reason for the “discount” is not on the individual items but actually because, although not specified, Adaptive Cruise Control is also included and that is "worth" 2k USD:

So how does Porsche generally handle price changes post order but when the car has not yet been delivered?

Edit: I just loaded my config and added the technology package. I already had all the options selected, with the exception of active parking:

- It reduced the price by $1,030
- It added “active parking”
- It removed “Lane change assist (LCA)”

Perhaps active parking adds yet another camera where the LCA indicator resides? I’ll take LCA over active parking.

ahh - you may have identified the reason - very strange compromise... I would indeed agree that LCA is more valuable and real safety feature. I wonder why Porsche is pushing the "active parking" that in my experience is never that good and always prefer parking myself

More sensors and not cameras either side of the vehicle. Is LCA standard now rather than an option?

If I understand this post in another thread correctly, LCA (Rear Assist) is required for / part of the active parking (Park Assist Plus) package. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So it is entirely possible you Americans get LCA for free as well in the technology package. (In Europe Porsche offers no packages and lets us pay full price.)

(Edit: SWA = Spurwechselassistent = Lane Change Assist = LCA)

Yes possible it is included. Pretty insane they do such a poor job explaining and no definitive answer that I can find on the web. I have asked dealership but in my experience this Forum is way more savvy and knowledgeable than Porsche ambassadors!

So if this is correct, it does mean my car that is being built as I type this has seen a price reduction of approx $1k. Lovely...

ParkAssist is standard but can be upgraded to ParkAssist with Camera which can be upgraded to surround which can be upgraded to 3D Surround with Active Parking Support.

So which one do you mean?

I panicked a tiny bit when I saw that a new package was available since it wasn't when I placed my order a couple of weeks ago. To my relief, the only item in the Technology Package that I wanted was ACC, so I wouldn't have chosen it anyway.

btw I also just spec'd out my Taycan 4S and opt'd for Tech Package. I am hoping the LCA will stay with it else I probably will drop the tech Package. Prosche LCA on my 911 is my most used feature I'd say. So, does the Tech package drops the LCA? Pretty unclear still

I got it and can confirm (at least on car I have) that LCA is actually still there when selecting tech package.
