This is a long standing classic Porsche option, but for the ICE cars like original ICE Macan, the difference between the standard (bright chrome inside the light) vs. in Black was dramatic in pictures and real life. This is not the case for very compact LED and DRL only lights in the Macan EV...
What you get is Exclusive Manufactur cosmetic treatment of the headlights that demands $530 for the privilege. Specifically, what you see in Blue will be in Black (from picturing stand point), which is plastic surround cosmetic treatment of the DRL lights. Exclusive Manufactur is cosmetic...
Not possible with PCM 6 in the Taycan or PCM 7 in the Macan EV.
This still works in the current ICE Macan with PCM 5 and worked on the first ICE Macan released in 2015 with PCM 3.0/3.1. Also, you can just swipe the XM live feed bar to go to any point back, but not possible on the PCM 6 or 7...
I see the page that is very confusing and inaccurate because:
- There was never a 60-minute free charging anywhere
- EA is a partner but not an AC charging partner
This is probably written by marketing, so they do not care to put it out there.
The only accurate thing you have is your contract...
Internal docs state that this is on the roadmap but retrofit is probably unlikely.
What is your use case and need for 19.2kW AC charging, which is rare.
^ I agree 100% and very helpful to understand the difference.
The point of the experiment is to say that when departure time charging the battery gets warmer, which is more optimal for driving say 70F, vs. starting from colder ambient 50F.
Full preconditioning of the battery to 95F may be...
The car tells you if the temp is ideal or not for fast charging. This is what this bracket on the right is for and 71F is short of being inside the bracket.
This is from the 2025 Taycan launch docs. The part that somehow Macan EV is missing (may be added later) is on the left side, which is...
Excellent experiment and analysis.
This works exactly as designed and similar to the Taycan with a few notes.
Preconditioning of the battery using Departure timer is a strong word since it goes up to 70F due to the charging process which is different from active preconditioning when you are...
I think everyone focused on the point system instead of listening to Dave's verbal commentary. I found it to be very fair and balanced knowing where Dave is coming from as a consumer. I enjoyed the video and took some notes to share a few comments.
I have never driven a Tesla. I own Macan GTS...
You can charge everywhere but at a Tesla charger. Hope later this year we can.
Otherwise: EVgo, Mercedes, Circle K, Pilot, Chevy Dealer, Ford Dealer, etc.
Apps like Plug Share is your friend. If not sure, post a station and we can let you know.
This is really concerning real world data, but it makes sense as many others said.
22s with winter setup tires will impact range significantly - worst rolling resistance.
Cold ambient temps mean very dense air - max aero resistance.
High Speed - requires exponentially more energy to move above...
This one is pretty loaded now and dialed in with colors, however:
- Have you tried a comparable Turbo build since you are up there in price for your build
- Rear Axle Steering is not selected
- Full Leather is not selected
- Headlights in Black add very minimal black surrounds with no...
There is also real-world evidence that keeping the battery at 100% increases chances of shortcutting your cells and catching fire, so why you want to test your luck, even if the chance is very small.
I know that the chemistry and type of cells are different on Macan EV but that may not be a...
Cannot wait. Please note full spec of the 4S and any apparent issues. Then make sure put it in the sportiest mode and try some turns and roundabouts and see how it handles. All 3 examples I drove had issues with body gaps, assistance error speed limit, plug and charge did not work, perforation...
The next best thing would be a TSB describing on how to "really" do it if going by the example below, where it clearly states that manuals are not clear and most likely a cut and paste from other models. This is to prove @SteveInKirkland point that reading the manual or listening to a...
We still do not know how this works on the Taycan after manuals and tech recommendations, with some having no problem leaving the car for weeks and months and others leaving for 10 days to find a dead 12v. The original issue was that HV battery would only charge the 12v 8 times (plugged into...
