Hi - Loved your post and observations. I concur with your assessments. A few observations:
- Like you, I’ve been a passionate Porsche aficionado. 14 P-Cars, 10 factory ordered including my current (1st week of commercial production) Macan 4 EV And one of 60 PCNA 60th Anniversary Custom...
Hi to All
lots of great observations from fellow owners,
I admit I’m a Porsche fan, so won’t comment on BMW, MB, or other Brands.
living in the NE, and commuting week days 50 Mis/day RT home/work and 120 MIs each way to weekend home rain, snow, sun year round, for 2 yrs in Ford Mach-E and 1,5...
The Macan EV community provided great replies and I suggest you follow those.
Personally, I confess I press park the. Power buttons.
As the seats have sensors, inadvertently exerting pressure on flat seat portion and/or backrest and side bolster where there are sensors will activate the car...

Hi to All -
Am not disagreeing with observations & suggestions provided by Porsche EV community in this thread.
I will share, however, that as one of those owners who within 1 month of taking delivery of my factory ordered Macan 4 EV, over a 2 day weekend at home, I went to my garage and...
Many good experiences and observations.
I suppose we follow whichever practices we deem work best for our driving style.
Yes. Gas our battery, coasting is a great way to extend range.
I’ve consciously tried cruise control on and off.
Totally agree hard acceleration and braking,

Best plan is call and book service with your dealership. Software glitches are sign that dealership service dept should review and do proper reboot. Likely couple of days process. Get a loaner. Best wishes.
Hi to All.
I have been following the many interesting, informed suggestions and observations.
I thought I was smart about Bose having had Bose systems in all my prior Porsches and initially found the version in my Macan 4 EV lacking.
Decided to try something different.
Caution: my note...
Hi. Sounds like your dealer needs to run tests on your battery.
Winter cold hurts range for us all.
My 2024 Macan 4 was factory ordered and Built 1st week of July; delivered Oct/2024. I had several teething issues needing to be sorted.
Miles/Charge in winter is approx:

Hi to All
Whilst I’ve loved Bose in prior Porsche vehicles of the years, I join those who find it less than expected.
I join all those not wishing to blow $s on the next level up as cost is not justifiable.
Re settings I find it depends on type of music and era.
Examples:
- I agree...
Thank you and to all who’ve replied.
I’ve been meaning to check the Porsche manual to find out how to do this.
Really appreciate 🙏 the initiative to share on this forum the simple step by step process!
Hi. As others have said it’s winter.
My experience for 20k miles Macan 4 with 21” all season tires on mixed motorway (65-70mph on 120mi weekend commute ) and 50mi heavy traffic weekday commute on city roads, night time with lots of electronic options plus heat using battery, 2nd winter and one...
Hi to All.
I’ve tried both local roads and motorways with and without cruise control Settings whether summer or winter.
Non cruise control gets best mileage/range including 70-75 mph.
I believe two factors contribute:
1. Cruise control maintains constant speed, so never regenerates...
