Excellent and important distinction (i.e., PCM software stack vs. all software stacks in the vehicle)—thanks for making it as well as you did. Your knowledge and willingness to share it are a gift to the forum. My hopes around better software tuning over time (including OTA updates) is...

I think it’s important to note here that the software stack for the Macan EV (Android based) is new and completely different from the Taycan. There’s no doubt that Porsche is still working to get their software act together, but I’m not setting my expectations for the Macan based on what people...

Bummer. I was looking forward to that feature.

Thanks!

The Macan 4S I ordered is now at its US port of arrival and should be in my hands by this weekend (Yay!). When reviewing the screenshot of the Porsche tracking system sent to me by my SA, I noticed an entry I've not seen before. It's reads as follows... KATE Code Event Key Event Name...

WAIT, Wait, wait… does that “don’t squish your kid” sticker on the side of the dashboard mean there’s no hideous sticker on the visor!?! <he asked with abundant hope>

As somebody who has tracked Apple for decades, I’m very used to predictions of a company’s imminent demise. If I sold every time people started crying “Doom!” I wouldn’t have a 718 in the garage (with a Macan 4S on order) and would live in a much more modest house. What gave me the faith to stay...

Those are definitely the 21" Macan Design Wheels. They're very similar to the 20" Macan 4S wheels—which helped me justify the upgrade to a 4S. I had specced the 21" Design wheels on my original Macan 4 order because I didn't like the stock wheels, but am happy with the stock wheels for the 4S...

To say that I’m jealous of your experience is a pretty massive understatement. Thanks for sharing your impressions. Particularly happy to read yet another positive review of the HUD. Added it to my configuration after a brief experience with it and seeing that it integrates (albeit with some...

This article might provide the answer you're looking for. Here's the relevant quote...

When I first read the text you quote, it struck me as ambiguous. It talks about the rear mounted motor and its contribution to a rear weight bias, but then references the weight distribution on the RWD Macan—which does NOT have a rear mounted motor. That model owes its rear weight bias to the...

When the 4 and Turbo were introduced, it was noted that the rear motor was mounted differently for the two models. For the 4, the drive unit is mounted within the chassis subframe. For the Turbo, the drive unit is rotated around the vehicle’s transverse axis (positioning it as far to the rear as...

When I got my first performance car (2001 Audi A6 w/lots of goodies), I found myself on the slippery slope of detailing. Bought all the gear (e.g., random orbit sander, polishing pads, expensive polish, etc.) and did all the work. It was fun and my car looked amazing. At this point, I've neither...

What he said.

It’s my only fear associated with having speced the RWS. Any tips to avoid this now that you’ve been schooled?

Thanks for posting. Can you tell us what the HUD is telling us about (i.e., what objects in the real world correspond to the red lines—I’m assuming the blue lines are your direction of travel)?

Sport-Tex must be the fabric. Race-Tex is the Porsche equivalent to Alcantara—that’s what it’s called in the USA configurator.

Racetex (a.k.a., alcantara) is suede like and looks different. What you have there looks like fabric—an option I believe you have in EU, but not in the US.

Pics please!

Looks like it gives you a bit of extra space between wheel and curb. Maybe to allow for wheel swing associated with rear wheel steering?
