Thanks. The reason that I wrote what I did is that I've been checking lots of routes that I travel on road trips where I couldn't formerly use Tesla Superchargers (prior to this September), and I have found that there are a lot of sites that still say "Tesla-only" (vs. "open to non-Teslas")...

So roughly 1/3 of Tesla Supercharger stations remain closed to Porsches? I have noticed a large number of Tesla stations across the US being "Tesla only" sites. Are they all the V1/V2 sites? Or are some V3 sites also off-limits to non-Teslas?

I wonder why Porsche doesn't allow the infrared "Night Vision" camera setup in the Macan (ICE or EV), when you can get it in every other 4-door Porsche. And why doesn't Porsche have dual sun visors for both front seats of either Macan while you can get it in the Cayenne.

I just reconfigured my Macan 4 this evening (2025 Oct. 2) to compare it to my build from a year ago for MY2025. I'll use this opportunity to address some of the points made in August in this thread. First, as a Porsche owner who has fiddled with the online configurator a lot over many years, I...

so, in other words, not much new in the updated online configurator that's worth talking about, with regard to the Macan EV... I'd like to see the following options that you can get in other Porsches but not here: (1) infrared "night-vision assist" camera; (2) dual front sun visors for both...

My Macan 4 kept having error messages showing on the instrument panel, which the dealership could not fix. And I'd have glitches like the navigation/maps not working at all, intermittently. From the various online forums, this doesn't appear to be the occasional "problem child" Macan EV. And...

Since the OP reviewed his Macan EV vs. his Taycan, I'll weigh in on my own comparisons of my '21 Taycan CT4 to a Macan 4 that I special-ordered and haven't taken ownership of yet due to a variety of factors including two recurring warning lights in the instrument panel that the dealership isn't...

I still don't understand why Porsche doesn't offer full one-pedal driving, and then let the driver choose whether to use it or not...

superb color -- a little like Montego Blue in Cayenne. I wish this was a standard color, as PTS colors are so dang expensive.

Yes, many times -- many different Macan 4s from five different dealerships... There are lots of positives -- enough to outweigh the negatives (but that's not what this thread is about). For me, there's no other automaker besides Porsche that makes a BEV that I'm remotely interested in. And...

My gripes on the Macan 4: (1) frameless doors (same with Taycan; it's natural to grab the door by the side frame to open and close after using the door handle, and this leads to lots of fingerprint smudges on the windows there constantly with no frames on the Porsche BEVs); (2) shiny...

Yep... Here's a shot of the relevant part of my Macan 4's monroney label:

I agree... on my fourth Porsche, and it's not because of prestige -- in fact, I special-order my cars and black out badging (or eliminate badging) and keep exterior colors subdued because I don't want to be overly obvious, for a variety of reasons including worries about parking the car in...

surround view is not standard in the US, at least on the Macan 4; I had to pay $1090 to get it...

Yeah -- ones you left out that I'd pick that aren't standard options (USA): (1) exterior colors (incl. badging colors); (2) interior colors; (3) compass with off-road precision app; (4) heated windshield; (5) surround view.

I totally understand that, and it was an issue when I bought my CPO Taycan with 43k miles on it. But I got all the maintenance records (one-owner, single dealership servicing) and read them carefully; they showed that there was no big issue in my specific 2021 CT4 -- just the recalls that were...

"a faulty charging station that sent a brief voltage spike to the Taycan, triggering an overvoltage protection fuse" ... wow... that's disconcerting. Also, as for going into the guardrail because of using LKA: I would never, ever use LKA (or Innodrive), period. Just steer the car yourself...

Is it still possible, in late March 2025 (or early April 2025), for the dealership to get the $7500 federal tax credit when leasing a new Macan 4 (and then passing that $7500 savings on to the bottom line to the customer, for the lease calculations)?

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a64308066/list-of-how-tariffs-will-affect-every-car/ My dealerships here in New England are saying that they will pass most (but possibly not all) of the tariff onto the end buyer of new Porsches. They're guesstimating that between Porsche and the dealerships...

Try using the Tesla app instead of the Porsche app?
