Pebble Grey in the ICE Macan is a different color from Crayon/Black interior in Macan EV or Taycan. Porsche is very specific in how they call and make their colors. I have both. They are similar but not the same. Crayon/Black interior is intended to go well with Ice Grey exterior.
This does not look usable at all as a permanent garage charging setup given short length.
I understand the benefits of a plug-in setup, however clean direct wire with 25 ft cord is best with a 3rd party EVSE of your choice and then keep the Porsche one for travel.
This is my clean setup: direct...
+1 to this. The picture of the interior is Black/Chalk (partial leather) and not Black/Limestone Beige (full leather). Black/Chalk goes well with the silver exterior but missing some full leather elements with contrast stitching at the top of the doors. I am not sure why they could not offer...
Unfortunately, this is not has been the case for the Taycan. At first, I thought this would be plug and play as you describe at least for the front, but then my dealer attempted it for someone else before I even got my allocation, and they said this is not the case, so I removed it from my order.
Dashcam pre-wiring option is the most misleading. My best information is the following: This just adds 2 fuses and no actual wires. This only supports Porsche OEM dashcam which is very bulky and not the best in features. The labor to wire is many hours and dealers are not good at it since you...
People do not seem fine with it on the Taycan forum. There are pros and cons to this option and for absolute clarity this is the option we are talking about below.
The biggest reason this would be a must have for me is because Macan windows are frameless just like Taycan, so standard glass is...
The video does not demonstrate Auto mode, but the icon shown is Recuperation Auto mode from Taycan. Macan EV manual has no mention of Auto mode or a graphic of any icons related to Recuperation modes.
Here is what it says regarding Recuperation management feature in the online manual that can be adjusted by the driver. It is understood that these features are in addition to the always on dynamic recuperation management behind the scenes that cannot be controlled by the driver.
Macan EV uses...
My simple question was about if Macan EV has the same Regen setting adjustment feature that the Taycan that I find helpful in the Taycan. The answer is most likely NO. Therefore, someone with a Taycan who is used to it, will have to change their driving habit, and press the brake pedal to keep...
It may sound like a "one pedal" but it is not since the intent of the Regen Auto feature is driving comfort to keep the distance from the car in front without having to push the brake pedal. Regen ON mode engages regen as soon as the brake pedal is released with the intent of slowing the car...
@Diego, so nice of you to check this out.
I am disappointed that this option is most likely not there, assuming this is because Macan EV is on a different platform than Taycan. This option is useful in many ways, one example, that in the Taycan if Regen = Auto, the car will use Regen...
This is helpful and you are absolutely correct that Porsche has no one pedal driving equivalent, which I prefer on the Taycan. I am looking for someone who has the production car now to check the screen to see if Regen setting is present in the PCM to configure. I was just at a car show and saw...
I am curios with no information to confirm or deny if Macan EV has Regen options adjustment similar to Taycan. Specifically, is it possible to configure for each Driving Mode a Regen setting of Off/On/Auto. Every video I have watched simply says that Regen is behind the scenes when going...
@cometguy, you are making a great point on how too many optional items elsewhere come standard, limiting choice to reduce price, but most likely to simplify packaging at launch, anticipating that most will want those options. However, the usual approach was to offer them in Premium, Premium...
The only data that I am going by is Configurator and Dealer's internal communication that has no mention of Surround View with Active Parking Support for both models, which is obviously wrong, since it appears as an option on Macan 4 but not listed anywhere for Macan Turbo. There is no mention...
We were looking forward to Macan EV reveal (few years sooner) hoping to be in a second year of production by the fall of 2023. Ran out of time and enjoying 2024 GTS knowing fully it is still as analog as our 2016 Macan Turbo was. First reaction is that it is too late with many unknowns that need...
I use a two finger swipe for volume on the console screen instead of pressing +/- at the bottom in addition to the volume scroller on the wheel. I am sure very few use it for drawing letters as input, which I think its primary purpose (large empty area in the middle).
Heat pump is not enough. This is a different tech that scavenges the heat in the powertrain and then allows it to be redirected into the cabin to assist with heating for comfort (see below using this feature in a Cayenne that I use all the time during cold temps), officially known as Residual...
