I too have spec'd the compass + altimeter. The compass I will generally find useful, my current two cars' satnav flip from North Up to Head Up when they feel like it regardless of settings. The altimeter - well why not.Put like that it seems a decent trade off.
Although, I've taken some stick at home for specing the compass with altimeter.
No bugs here , just in between rains
Are you far from Frenchmans Cap?
It's a bloody long and hard walk from here! That's Mt Wellington shrouded by cloud.
yes it would be.

I never had cooled/ventilated seats in a car but I really would like to try them in warm weather. Do you really think that the AC seats have not been offered because they might bring problems with them? As the heated seats yet have the power supply it seems more like a question of costs to me. An AC seat would probably be to expensive as standard and the ordered quantities of it as an option would be too low.
The standard Recaro seats are fantastic
Katzkin seem to be the best after-market leather seats here in the U.S. They are not just a seat cover, they replace the existing seat material. I've driven a Jeep with Katzkin seats and they were great: high quality leather, excellent fit, and the seat heaters worked perfectly. I don't know anything about their compatibility with cooled seats though.
You can price them out here: https://katzkin.com/
Maybe give Katzkin a call if it is important to you, and ask about how they work with Recaro. Or you could call a Katzkin installer in New Jersey, and ask them the same (maybe you get better advice from an installer - as opposed to the corporate HQ).
I think some of the choices made by Ineos with regard to what tech to include and what tech is "too complicated" for the Grenadier are a bit arbitrary. For example, they offer heated seats, but not a heated steering wheel.
The aircon also works well
