I think I have most order options.

Are these worth getting @ £1,500?

Part of me thinks it will just be distracting and another drain on the battery.

But I remember reading one post where they thought it was really good...

For sure, the ventilation will only be useful for a couple of days a year in the UK, although with global warming as it it, who can say.

Is the massage function any good?

I got the massage option for the first time in my case and It exceeds my expectations so far. 5-6 different programs, 4 levels of intensity. Useful in my case as I have to commute 3x/ week more than 100km (one way)
That doesn’t mean it is a necessity, but it is a nice option in my opinion.
I do think it drains a little more battery if course, but it hasn’t been a problem so far.

Neighs: I would personally say the massage function is outstanding. Drove home late last night, found a 350kw EA charger on the way. Stopped and charged, while charging ran cool seat* and wave massage with medium intensity and it was fantastic. Very relaxing and had to fight from taking a nap..... ;-) my opinion, Well worth it.... Photos were to mess with kids on how rough my day was.....
*tad warm in Florida...

Yes I did actually when I picked up the car with my daughter we did a shiatsu massage on the way home. In just getting the car on Thursday I don’t truly know how much it will change the range.

Seat ventilation is always my wife’s first option choice. We even use it in the winter rain with low seat heat and ventilation on to dry our clothes caught in the rain.

how do you operate the massage function?........it’s not part of the lower center panel where the seat heater ‘ cooler controls are is it?

You need to select the car icon on the pcm and then select Comfort. You can then select driver or passenger and the massage menu will appear.

Actually it’s even easier. Just touch the center of the lumbar control and it turns on. The option screen also pops up on the pcm. Love this option as does my wife. If this is your daily...what a great way to further enjoy your time in the car.
If there is a negative...(besides the price)...it’s that it only stays on for ten minutes at a time.
Love it!

Voice activation also works for seat massage. One example from the Good to Know app is, "Hey Porsche, I would like a massage." I haven't figured out how to voice control the passenger seat massage though. BTW for a full list of voice commands, try "Hey Porsche, what can you do?"

thats awesome.......wonder if you can choose between massage features via voice or only turning it on and what would the default setting be or can that be set?
