    A Question For All Current, Future or Thinking About Becoming a Macan EV Owner

    My SA said they had more of a struggle getting the Turbo they had to behave than the 4’s they had. He said it was more complicated. I have no idea what specifically he was referring to but wondering if there are more niggles with the Turbo configuration setup. I have no data just asking if...

    Unprotected cheap floor vent...

    But we like to spin wheels for fun :CWL:

    Unprotected cheap floor vent...

    Some mesh attached to the vent opening might work but it looks level so nothing is falling in but rather might block the opening. I think you can get any material in there out with a vacuum. I am now less convinced that anything is needed because the whole point is to prevent blockage and...

    Unprotected cheap floor vent...

    Ok here is the update on my little experiment. I cut one of the vent covers and installed. See photo. Then I turned on max AC in the rear (I have 4 zone temp option) and there is a noticeable degradation in air flow so I would NOT recommend covering up the vent holes if you want to get air to...

    Cannot open boot anymore

    Hum I was hoping you had only a partial system block. It sounds like your trunk operation software is fully shut down. It is strange you’re not getting any warning messages.

    Trunk Emergency release error

    Wow ok so from my perspective it is unlikely that that you have bunch of hardware issues happening all at once. I think that they need to wipe the software and do a complete reinstall and reconfigure.

    Unprotected cheap floor vent...

    Ok so the vent covers arrived and are about 3 cm too short. So they don’t fit. However now that I have them I am concerned about limiting air flow. Just as an experiment I am cutting one in half (because they fit snugly virtually) and comparing. There is a 3D printer shop in town and if flow...

    Cannot open boot anymore

    just curious do you have foot gesture open enabled. If so did you try opening with your foot gesture? If you still have the car try toggling that feature on and off using interior and key buttons. I think they need to reinitialize the anti theft software. Guess they will figure it out ?

    Trunk Emergency release error

    Hi Gary Sorry to hear you’re having troubles. So far I have not gotten any more errors but still a little Reluctant to claim I see nothing but blue skies ahead. I think that if the issues are dealer related and lack of knowledge on how to configure, then that is an easier problem to solve...

    Trying to decide between '25 Macan EV Turbo and '25 AMG EQE SUV

    I agree . I have taken test drives of all Mercedes EVs. I always go with excited anticipation and come out disappointed, there’s just something about the drive. They just feel almost boat like in some cases but all of them at least feel to big (not agile) to me, no matter sedan or SUV. I...

    Simply Electric - drives me crazy

    The reviewer promised a lot more than delivered. He is not as well prepared as others and skipped around on random impressions. Seems like he hates plastic but also worries about non plastic materials so he seems like a conflicted person ?. On that note I got the interior with 18 way seats and...

    For those of you with Rear Wheel steering... happy with it?

    I originally opted out but included it before freeze date. I do notice it just driving around tight curves. Feels like the car is going where you want is more rapidly or effortlessly. It comes with power steering plus and I do notice it in a parking lot. Also I noticed in on the highway...

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    Yeah moisture or fog build up can throw the error. It evaporates and reset should not be necessary but can speed up getting it back to normal

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    Assistance systems usually limit themselves if water or dirt is on a camera or visibility is bad.

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    Main thing is you wanna rule out the possibility of an electrical fire by some component. The only thing I can think of from the same dealer is if they pressure washed where they should not have and pushed water into the wrong place.

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    At speed you have wind and increase power so if is not wind then some component is burning off some lubricant (like a fan motor coil). Otherwise you have an electrical component burning out for some reason. I would have a chat with your service agent. If they said it is normal then they should...

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    Hum you say random? If you try recirculating and less or no smoke I would wonder if you’re driving by any place that people are operating wood stoves or other atmosphere burning. May be obvious but need to rule that out if it is your car or something outside

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    Set to recirculate only and see if changes? Just to eliminate exterior source. Any car fluid on the ground when you park it? If it only happens at speed then it may be water being forced into a fan compartment or into a place where it should not be, turn all fans off to eliminate climate...

    Textured side cladding

    If I got the gloss black, I would definitely put PPF on it
