    Tailgate won’t close completely

    Good service regardless of the brand should offer more. I would ask for a free 2 year extended warranty for peace of mind and of course a free loan vehicle during any repair down time. See what they offer but warranty extensions don’t cost them cash up front. You seem more accepting than I...

    Macan EV Turbo Ice Gray Delivered and WOW 🤩

    See what you would have missed if you cancelled ?. I share your enthusiasm. I cannot wipe the smile from my face every time I drive it. I am surprised by how many people comment on it. People who seem to just be walking by stop and ask me “is that electric?”.

    Car Tracking

    like Dave asks are you talking about pre-delivery? because the app only shows your car after you are registered in the app after you take delivery.

    Washing Macan EV & Charge Ports

    Yes I have a power washer and set it on a light spray. Admittedly I live on Vancouver island and we get a week of snow all year so yeah anywhere else would be an unpleasant handwashing experience.

    Thoughts After a Month & 1500 Miles With My Macan Turbo EV, Coming From Tesla Model S

    The key word you used here is “relax” I never felt relaxed driving my Tesla ..always playing with regen settings or foot tag between powering and brake to get a smooth acceleration/deceleration. When you think about it why should the driver need to deal with that at all? It’s distracting to a...

    Thoughts After a Month & 1500 Miles With My Macan Turbo EV, Coming From Tesla Model S

    If by regen braking you want one peddle driving then Porsche was clear up front you don’t get that. I owned a Tesla for 4 years and don’t miss that. In fact I much prefer the Macan handling and I use ACC for stop and go traffic much like I did with my Tesla anyway . My wife likes it better too...

    Washing Macan EV & Charge Ports

    They should have a wash mode for both the frunk and ports if equipped. Since they don’t I would deactivate frunk hand gesture option before washing. I have manual ports so no issues for me there. Makes me wonder if you spray the trunk underside if you can tigger the trunk open? lol. My...

    Tailgate won’t close completely

    That explains a lot. I don’t know about you but I would be demanding an entire new car. You paid good money for a damaged car and now you have to deal with that nonsense.

    [news!] - 225 kW supercharger rate achieved!! Macan EV is not limited to 150 kW @ North American Tesla Superchargers!!

    Ok thanks for that clarification. I will wait to hear about the support for non-magic dock sites. I don’t even know if we have magic dock sites in our area. Something for me to look into.

    [news!] - 225 kW supercharger rate achieved!! Macan EV is not limited to 150 kW @ North American Tesla Superchargers!!

    It is good news. Any word on when the adapter is available or is there a third party adapter that is already proven to work?

    Tailgate won’t close completely

    Think the dealer will figure it out quickly. You could have a mechanical issue ( perhaps a mechanical range limit switch is out of adjustment). If you don’t hear any mechanical binding or grinding then it might be a calibration issue usually caused by something that has shifted out of place...

    air suspension; lifted setting

    Yes in effect you already have a quick off road switch on the steering wheel. I use it in parking lots that have cement end dividers

    Macan 4S vs Taycan ST 4S -- my impressions & review

    Nice review. I don’t have one to swap but after test driving I can see plenty of reasons to swap the pre 2025 Taycan. Trunk space, range and ride height including visibility of where the front end is being the main reasons but also the drive experience with rear axle steering makes the Macan...

    Received my Macan 4 EV in Ice Grey / Truffle Brown, first impressions & photos

    Hum...the truffle brown almost looks like copper in the inside shot and tends to take on a more orange looks in the light with the light exterior. I wrestled with that color a lot and in the end feel that the Ruby exterior or a dark exterior (black, jet black or even a dark green) would be best...

    Before I order a 25 Macan 4S, please help with 2 questions re price and software

    No real discount but got free all weather floor mats and trunk liner and tons of swag. They did want me to pick over 10k in options which I would have done anyway. No mark up over MRSP. You can review the forum for software issues and determine your own tolerance level. I am ok with the one...

    Photos: Carbon Fiber Wheels / Side Blades on Macan EV in Copper Ruby Metallic 🤩

    Carbon fiber side blades look interesting. Anyone else receive their car with CF side blades. I am thinking of replacing the standard ones I got as they look too plastic like to me now that I have the car. If anyone has pictures that would be nice to see.
