Seriously, picking a color is hard enough. I couldn't deal with all that noise.

2023 E63S Wagon
I tried that 2 years ago. First problem is you have to deal with Porsche. The second insurmountable hurdle is that there are WAY too many options. Ordering a car at Porsche is like trying to order at the Cheesecake Factory. By page 15 my brain just shut off and I couldn't make a decision. Like why are there 7 different types of cupholders and 20 different wheels and 15 window trim finishes? FFS there are 24 f'ing Panamera models! C'mon man.

Some in the Porsche community look at choosing options as part of the enjoyment in the process. Picking options is not strictly necessary if an in-stock or inbound unit is purchased.
What specifically are you thinking of when contemplating "dealing with Porsche"?

Yeh at first Porsche options can be overwhelming but after a few builds you get accustomed to it and it's missed when building other brands. For example, I wish Mercedes had more leather options. I mean who wouldn't pay an extra $500 for leather covered airbag. Or $1800 for lower dash. All the plastic in E63 cabin is out of place and not having the option to cover those parts in leather is a bit annoying.

^ Very interesting. Explains why I am seeing non-FE wagons en route to dealers that didn't originally get allocations.

Mercedes won’t provide compliance letter for the newer cars IMHO to protect the market:

There are 10 wagons that are open to trade from the destination dealers. For those who are looking for a non-FE 2023 wagon with US specs, this is an opportunity to acquire one. Most of these are well equipped and in a variety of trims. My dealer told me that he could obtain any of them with the right dealer trade. YMMV
