Waiting until the pandemic is over could be just the same as sending the apprentice to the stores for "a long wait". :D :D

If you're still a fan of Macan handling then one option could be to put down a deposit on an S or GTS specced just the way you want it. As long as you haven't reached lockdown in the order process you can always reclaim your deposit if you decide on something else.
But if you do that do not at the present time go into an OPC talking discounts or they will just push you to the back of the queue or not reply to any email ;) ;)

Deposit paid and you will still probably have at least a six month or maybe more wait.

If you do go with a Macan, decide on your spec asap and do tell your SE that you can finalise on any offer of an early build.

Surprisingly Porsche orders do get cancelled and early builds can be available.

A deposit also gets you a 1/2 day driving your chosen variant around the circuits at Silverstone PEC where after you experience the handling and idea of a JLR will more than not go out the window.

Even if you cancel after a PEC visit you still get the full deposit back.

Haha, I know. Tbh I think I need to spend longer with a Macan, I wasn’t as blown away by the Turbo as I was expecting but I feel more time is needed to appreciate it. I have to admit I did really like the G05 X5 so that’ll be high on the list.
