Recall completed in a day. Gave me one of the first Macan 4s (vin 000222) as a loaner. Haven't noticed any difference yet in the software but I guess that's a good thing!
I was invited to a 90 minute drive at the Porsche Experience Center in LA on Friday. It was a fun experience. There 36 of us in the class. We broke into groups for 30 minute modules. The first run was in a Cayman GTS 4.0 and we did several auto-cross laps. Then we moved to 911's to do...
Schedule my software update and recall for June 11. Dealer said "it might take a couple days, it might take a week or longer. Do you need a loaner?" It's been my experience the dealer won't even look at the car for a few days after the scheduled appointment so yes, a loaner please...
That is fantastic! I love Porsche Beaverton, and am happy they are willing to service your car even though you didn't purchase it through them. I'm having the opposite luck with Porsche Palm Springs. I TRIED to buy the car through them but nobody would call me back, so I purchased from a...
Interesting! I tried to book an appointment for the recall online and received a message that yes, the car was being recalled but they don't have parts available. Thankfully I haven't had any of the issues being checked so I'll just hold for now and see how things go into the summer.
I checked on the NHTSA website and it does show the recall on my 2025 4S. When I try to schedule the recall on the dealer's service website, after putting in my VIN, it shows no recalls. I guess I'll call next week. :confused:
I agree with #3 and #4. I feel like I have to slam the door or else it doesn't close. This car has a lot of rattles, which I find quite sad and frustrating at this price point. Right now I'm tacking the two front doors and the sunroof. Dealer appointments are six weeks out (which is another...
I had the Sport Sound in my Taycan and thought it sounded gimmicky. I only tried it a couple times in a year. I'm more of a "quiet" car guy. I didn't include it in my Macan.
My plug and charge wasn't working yesterday. I left and went back to EA today. Same thing, so I charged the old fashioned way through the app. Then I looked and the plug and charge was turned off in the car for some reason. I turned it back on and will try again when I need to charge next.
Interesting... in CA I had a $2k deposit on my credit card. When I picked up the car, the F/I rep said I could put up to 10k total on my credit card "in case you are going after points or miles." Works for me!
I went with 22s because I didn't like the look of the 20s or 21s. If I had to do it again I would still order the 22s. I lowered the air pressure a bit (I did that in my Tesla too to help ride quality).
I tried to get a service appointment with my local dealer. They are booked 45 days out on non-urgent items, and 30 days for anything safety related. My guess is they don't have the techs to service the new platform but what would happen if you had an issue while on a road trip? Yikes.
I've had my 4S with 22 inch rims about a month and driven 787 miles. I'm at 3.1 miles/kwh so in theory that is a 294mile range using 95% of the battery. I'm fine with that. YMMV.
In Palm Springs... I picked up mine at the end of January. Then two weeks ago my neighbor across the street traded his Taycan for a Macan 4. Then yesterday I see the guy five doors down just bought one (the same color/wheel combination as the guy across the street). Three new Macan's on the...
My SA really pushed on LoJack and key protection. I said I didn't want either. When I went into finance, the key protection was still on. Finance called the SA who said "you wanted it." No, I didn't. Finance said well we put it on every deal because we have to sell so many to keep our...
While charging yesterday in Palm Springs, there was a Turbo charging next to me and then another Macan pulled up to the queue. 3 at the same charging stop. Good times!
I'm in Palm Springs. It was 45 this morning and 65 this afternoon. Squeak! The dealer here will look at it, but based on prior experience the car will sit for a few days until they get around to it (even when an appointment is scheduled). I'm only on day 4 so I'm going to drive it for a bit...
