Love this car so far. I traded in my '23 Taycan GTS and so far no regrets.

Ordered in February, built in March, sat in Emden for a month until finally arriving at the Port of Baltimore on May 7. My SA explained that because this was a customer-order placed before tariffs went into effect, it was cleared to ship by Porsche and they paid for the tariff costs, while I just paid for the original MSRP. Pretty happy about this good fortune because I was prepared to walk away if a tariff had been passed on to me.

Car has been great out of the box so far. I've been reading way too many threads here and was preparing myself for the worst. Electronic stuff are working as expected, Apple Carplay and homelink paired easily, charge doors seem to be responsive and opening with a light tap as expected, haven't noticed any odd rattles or sounds yet, seats feel great, steering feels great, and all the doors seem to be closing normally without having to shut them with more force, which I did notice to be a problem on an example that I took for a test-drive a few months ago, and some here have been experiencing in their cars as well. I still wished these cars were equipped with soft-close but not a big deal. Road noise isn't as bad as I expected, and it's actually quite good, though it definitely has more tire noise being transmitted to the cabin over certain surfaces compared to my Taycan. Oh, and it's definitely not as sexy as my former Taycan but you can't win it all. Love the frozen blue on this car though.

I'm sure some issues and gripes I'll have with the car will eventually arise, but for now I'm absolutely satisfied with my initial experience.

Great spec. You’re going to love the rear axle steering.

Our build outs are almost identical. Mine came in last December and I couldn't be happier. Any small problem was solved with software reset. LOVE LOVE my dream car. Strangers, men and women both, stop me to ask what the color is and they comment on how beautiful it is. I'm the only one in Las Cruces, population 150K with this color. Congratulations!

Had RAS on my previous Taycan, but on this Macan, the U-turns and parking lot maneuvers feel even tighter. Wheelbase on Taycan and Macan EV are nearly the same but Macan is shorter vehicle nose to tail, so perhaps that's why the RAS feels even better in parking maneuvers. RAS is fantastic at higher speeds, though I don't think I've driven a Macan EV without RAS to have a basis of comparison.

Loving frozen blue. I had wanted this for my Taycan order 3 years ago, but chickened-out. This time, with encouragement from my kids, I followed-through with frozen blue. Not too loud, not too subtle, but very distinctive in a sea of black, white, and grey Porsches in my neighborhood.

I also just received a Frozen Blue Macan (4, in my case). My wife wanted the matching color side panels, which I also think look great. She's a looker, for sure.
