    Can someone please explain what additional functions you get with full electric vs standard seats ?
    I assume standard has forward/back and incline functions....are the seats heated on the standard ?
    Thanks

    Seats are heated, they have three memory settings and the bolsters are adjustable as well as lumbar. The result is the ability to tailor the fit of the seat to your body. Well worth the money IMO. On my Cali T HS I had ventilated as well and that was really nice. Currently the Daytona seats on the Porto are perforated but the ventilated option isn't available yet. I think the full electric seats in the Porto are very comfy as I just sat in one yesterday at the dealer.

    Thanks but sounds like you are only describing the Full Electric....what does the standard electric offer besides front/back/incline....is there a height adjustment and are they heated ?

    No, they aren't. I was describing the additional features on the Full Electric vs Electric.

    Standard drivers seat has electric front/back/incline and backrest. Standard passenger seat has electric front/back and backrest, no incline. For rear seat access you hold the seat switch and power it forward.

    Thanks but what do you mean by "backrest"?
    I thought the backrest is what inclines ?

    Is it likely that they will offer ventilated seats next year ?
    Is that how it evolved with the Cali T ?

    I don't know if they will or not, you know how Ferrari is. I do know that is the way it was for the Cali T. I don't think ventilated was an option until 2017 but maybe 2016.

    The seatback that your back rests against is powered and reclines on both seats. “Incline” refers to the ability to power the driver’s seat cushion up and down at the front and up and down at the rear, inclining it. The passenger seat on the standard car does not move vertically.

    I think they may have changed the seat options. I have a Porto on order for Oct build and we have the square pattern perforated seats and they allowed full electric and ventilated.

    The ones I saw with the perforations were Daytona but no ventilation. Are you in the US?

    I have mentioned in another thread that ventilated seats are already an option since early June.
    They are one of the new options for the 2020 model year.
    I did check that option then in my final configuration. With the standard design though.
    Supposedly you could do that with the Daytona design too, but since I did not do that I cannot be 100% sure.
    They told me that the car would arrive in the (late) 2nd half of 2019, but in www.my-new.ferrari.com it is still in waiting list and I have still not received any email with production status or photos, so I guess it will be 2020 after all...
    PS. I am in Europe.

    I am copying here sth I have written for the new 2020 options:

    Fully electric seats are standard in Europe, but now, for the 2020 modelyear there is an extra option for ventilated seats (RSFV) and if you opt for that then you have the option to choose also a neck-heating system (AIRS). I have chosen both (on June 5).

    Here the cameras are extra, also for the 2020 model year (hence my question on the possible different standards between US/Europe). It is either rear/parking camera, or (where previously it was rear+front, now for 2020 it is) 360° camera.

    The latter is mandatory if you choose for the new ADAS system (which consists of FCAM- camera for lane control or sth like that, ACC1-radar for adaptive cruise control + pedestrians, BRAD-radar rear for dead hooks, MIR3- electro chromatic side mirrors). I have chosen for these too.

    Ours is being delivered tomorrow with ventilated Daytona seats. I delayed my order till they were available. It was delivered to dealer in August.
