To this point " now if they would only support "phone as a key" I'd be closer to exuberance"
Macan EV internal docs state that Porsche Digital Key will be available CW (calendar week) 25/25 at the earliest.
US configurator does not show an option to delete model designation on the rear that is common for other models. However, removing model designation is easy, so I would not worry about it.
I drove Macan 4 for a day and also thought that Bose sounded dull and flat that you have to stop and think that something is not right. Not expecting a wow sound but immediate impression is that it sounds bad no matter the setting.
I respect the fact that it may need to be broken in over many...
Great trip report @Duke95. I wonder if you can expand on a few questions:
1. Did you set charging stations as destination to pre-heat the HV battery (range killer for sure)? I am wondering if you noticed at what HV temp your arrived at the charger, what the left tube showed as max charge rate...
This is consistent with Taycan owners who decided to keep Turbonite exterior accents and rather replace it with Gloss Black. The description was that it felt and looked like cheap plastic. I am yet to see the trim in person since there are no Turbo version of anything at the dealer. However, 2...
Not a reviewer, just a customer who went to test drive one for a day. I will wait for a 4S to evaluate the driving part hopefully with smaller wheels. The point was to compare to the sportiest small SUV that was 2016 Macan Turbo we owned for 8 years and now Macan GTS that we have had for a year...
I wish this would be possible. However, in true Porsche fashion this is not possible, and configurator is very clear about what is removed so you are only left with the steering wheel crest in Turbonite.
Spoke to my SA today about Macan EV and if they had any problems. He said they cannot make Plug and Charge work even with the Porsche rep. He said they have no solution. I did not try it on my test drive since lot cars have Guest accounts.
It would be helpful if someone could post a step by...
Checked the pressure every time I drive anything. They were showing +4 all the way around since it stands outside, the dealer intentionally overinflates. I agree that having brand new tires that are not properly inflated would not result in proper driving dynamic.
I was not picking on the non-leather areas, but the ones that were leather, seats in particular. Even my SA today, sat in it with me and said, you are right the 18-way are way flat, compare to Macan GTS style 18-way seats that are highly bolstered, tight, and chunky to hold you in.
Good point...
I was probably going in with unrealistic expectations that it will be familiar...since all I own now and have owned in the last 10 years are modern Porsches and really want to understand every single feature and quirk.
This is really a great find, thank you. I would definitely set that tile as you are showing with Park Assist available from Quick access. Otherwise, the diamond on the wheel would be a preference for me since I use it a lot in slow moving school pickup situations where I need to see the curbs...
@byebye, I saw that button but its function appears to be finding a parking space and not turning Surround View cameras on function which are different. I did press it and nothing happened. I will not be able to try it again until I get back to the dealer.
@PanameraFrank interesting you feel the opposite, so look forward to more feedback.
Macan GTS full leather interior to me feels Panamera like premium because it is thicker, tighter, less plastic, and more stitching lines. Driving experience wise GTS feels like a Porsche and Macan EV did not to...
I have better than that. My dealer showed me Macan EV internal only documents and it clearly states 11kW AC integrated power box for the US. They are not technical enough to address my concern that I am only getting 9.6kW max when plugging in their Macan 4 at home.
Context: Previous owners of 2016 Macan Turbo, hoping to upgrade to Macan EV a couple of years ago, but ran out of time due to its release delays, so ended up with a 2024 Macan GTS a year ago. I was able to take 2024 Macan 4 with the following spec for a day to see what we might be missing to...
