There is no way I can see myself getting my hands on test driving like a Macan EV Turbo with Rear Wheel Steer and PTV+, which would be the real test if I want to compare it to Macan GTS that has all performance options.
I agree, interior leather options are very limited at launch, so will be...
I agree, based on what we know, 300 miles is not going to happen. Then the pole at least will tell us what is realistic in different use cases so any potential buyers can take that into consideration.
Similar circumstances. The Macan GTS is my wife's car and she was hoping to be in a Macan EV about a year ago as a second year Macan EV production if it would have been on the original schedule. However, her 2016 Macan Turbo was at a point where we needed to make a decision to upgrade and went...
I think you are misunderstanding my thought process, but I agree with your point.
I took Macan 4 for a day to get my first impressions as we are in the market to get one in the future, since I absolutely love my Taycan. Then I was disappointed with what I encountered comparing it to our Macan...
The checklist is very short and outlined in the Maintenance Journal and yes only the dealer will be able to do it and reset the maintenance timer, but there are no sensors and pumps there. The point is to shop around and get the lowest labor rate to get that checklist completed plus brake fluid...
Why do you need to pre-condition the battery for Departure time? Battery temperature is managed automatically and kept within an optimal range. Yes, warmer battery is more efficient, and it does warm up a little if the Timer is set and Pre-Condition of the Cabin is enabled. Then it is warmed up...
I am kind of shocked by what you are saying, especially, you have Taycan experience for context.
Also, a fellow original Taycan owner happy with the range expectations as they were presented and always exceeded in the real world. As a potential Macan EV buyer, glued to the release of Macan EV...
This does not align with the Porsche's own maintenance package pricing for Macan EV where they are selling it for $1,400. The downside is that if you buy it, you cannot save on items you can do yourself.

This is another source that supports my initial impressions of quality of interior and exterior being inferior to Macan ICE and Porsche standards. I wish Kyle will do better editing and shorten the videos, but I had to watch this one, as this is HIS MOM's CAR, so I think he went easy on the...
The list of options for review is nice but a build code is better. This way we can look at Standard Equipment in your country and then compare to the Option list. For example, we cannot see your Wheel and Tire choice with Tire options often overlooked, so it is not easy to provide feedback that...
This is really concerning story on the range for Macan EV (Turbo or otherwise as front motor is dynamically disengaged when not needed), as you are absolutely right that any marketed range for Taycans, officially EPA was way below real world conditions, and a killer of sales per my dealer. My SA...
Rear visibility is minimal through rear window as it appears so far, narrow, and highly slanted vs. Macan ICE version, so I do not see any functional value for having it, with a plan to make sure it has ceramic glass coating or similar to roll off the rain water. The snow is a different story...
This is not uncommon. All you can do is precondition your Macan EV by making the charger the destination and watch battery temperature go up with a huge benefit of seeing what max charge rate possible in the battery view screen.
I do not have Macan EV or the new Taycan with this revised screen...
My apologies, somehow I thought you have a Turbo build. Black Brushed non-illuminated then is so called "exclusive to" Turbo. However, I would check with the dealer if you can order it as a part and replace the standard Aluminum with Black brushed after the fact.
These are Standard Equipment on Macan Turbo in the US!
Brushed Aluminum kind is a zero cost option that you make sure do not select.
My advice to anyone new to Porsche configurator is to start with Standard Equipment list so you have a basis of what you are getting before Options, especially on...
Short answer is yes, you can make changes until Freeze date.
However, any date is an estimate and can move sooner or later any time.
TYD on tracking Taycan and Macan ICE last year was very helpful.
I understand this is not available for Macan EV just yet.
I have this graph that looks identical in the US version of this document but the label on the left is F, so you are saying the US version is wrong, so the left side is actual in C. Then I have a hard time believing that the optimal temperature for Macan EV new chemistry (vs. original Taycan) is...
