I swapped the Thule roof bars from my wife's mini to the d130, haven't driven it yet but hoping it adds minimal noise. I was able to put them where they are minimally visible from the pano roof, one is above the rear joint for the opening partition of the roof and the other is just in front of the 3rd row sunroof opening. That gives around 29" between bars and the roof bubble needs between 26-38", so should work out. I may try moving the rear bar all the way to the rear most point which would make it just visible via the 3rd row sunroof if looking back, but allow the front bar to be in between the two windows so not visible at all from inside and allow a wider separation of bars. The roof bar install was only about 30 minutes, super easy. I needed it installed to go get our tree this weekend.
I'll let others weigh in on your other questions but for the USB outlets start here. It's a "chip shortage" thing but they can be added, the previous link talks about it. I won't have my 130 for another week or so but I've got 3 USB A outlets waiting to be installed when it does come. There is a TOPIX bulletin (?) addressing the lack of outlets which, we assume, will be added by Land Rover as part of some service campaign in the future. You're also missing an outlet on the front passenger side that sits in the crossbeam ledge thing.
A couple of pics with my s3...
It's filthy from a trip to NY, used all of that extra 130 room and got to try out the clearview mirror and I was really happy with it tbh. One of those things you never thought you'd want but I can tell now I'm going to be spoiled and want it in any SUV or truck I get, just like heated seats, adaptive cruise and led headlights.
