and the £42 Porsche charge on the configurator if ordered with a New Macan at present.

I carry spare wheel included in build plus sealant on a belt and braces approach

Once alerted by the car, check the actual pressure on the TPM screen and add air via the onboard compressor or at the nearest garage, if needed. Before your trip to the tyre depot, if it's more than a few miles.
Unless you ticked the options box the point made is that there is now “No Onboard Compressor” 😖 much simpler and foolproof solution is to always tick the Spare Wheel 😉
Spare Wheel. Hardly foolproof.....
1. Real and present personal danger of conducting a roadside wheel swap :evil:
2. The 18" to 21" punctured alloy and tyre needs to be 'stored' somewhere inside the Macan. Likely to be dirty & / or wet. :(
3. The temporary spare has to be deflated and quite a lot of time allowed for it to be returned to its original storage size to fit under the boot floor again in the wheel well

The limitations on speed and distance durability of the temporary spare wheel is another factor.

If a slow puncture - see my post above. If a complete deflation - call the breakdown service. ;)

Perhaps in some places; I waited 20mins in central France, breakdown truck to tyre depot, new tyre sourced & collected by taxi, on my way within 4hrs, allowing 90minutes French lunchtime. Although I had the inflatable wheel plus sealant and kit to change the wheel, there was no point on a busy road a long way from Calais on the way home.

This is a bit like arguing which is better, red or blue. People are not going to be persuaded.
