It won’t display images (2D or 3D). Same problem with Chrome, Safari, and on my iPhone (see screenshot below with invisible yellow Boxster). I can still select options, I just can’t see what I’m building.

Their 3D no longer works on any modern browser I’ve used because it still relies on the Unity plugin which basically no browser supports anymore because they’ve all dropped NPAPI support. I can’t even get it to work on IE11 which is still supposed to be the last browser to support NPAPI.

Shame too, I loved their 3D configurator. They need to switch over to WebGL already.

They had to lay off staff from their website development because of Dieselgate.

I keep running into an issue where after I configure my car it keeps asking me to pay for it.
