    Macan EV a bit small for our dog?

    I think this depends more on the dog than on the car. As said above -- the half-way-up position of the rear seats can help with boot space, but also, my wife always takes the dog in the back seat rather than the trunk of her even-bigger SUV (Volvo XC90) because that's what works for our dog.

    Car damaged during towing

    How much is the cost of the sensors? I'd probably pay out of pocket, get good documentation, and then file a claim with the roadside company with a 30 days to pay notice. If they don't pay, take them to small claims court (assuming typical US state rules.) Or, if the cost is small enough and the...

    Off peak charging

    There's a special setting for "charge to 25% as soon as you plug in." I *think* you can turn it off, but maybe I'm mistaken and that was my last car (e-tron GT) and it's just always on for the Macan? Go check in the charge target settings somewhere -- hopefully you can control it the way you...

    Macan EV w dashcam wiring - install trouble

    The FitCamX install is quite straightforward. A seasoned installer should be able to do it in 30 minutes. They also have YouTube videos for how to do it.

    What's the source of the heater?

    When it's in the 40s and 50s here, it gets warm enough in the first minute. For window defrost, it's almost instant. I still use the seat and steering wheel warmer as the faster comfort, though!

    220V socket in the trunk

    If I needed the back seats, I would have gotten the Escalade :-)

    220V socket in the trunk

    Yes, the trunk socket is powered by 12V (I considered tapping into it when I installed my underglow.) What's worse, it only allows about 120 Watts, which isn't enough for charging modern workstation- or gaming-class laptops. I was quite disappointed when I found this out -- a typical "old...

    Macan Turbo Specs - Thoughts / Suggestions

    Most important: Add Thermal/Noise Insulated Windows, and add Drive Assist! You absolutely want to add the thermal/noise insulated windows! This significantly increases the luxury feel of the car. It's very nice and quiet! Rear steering -- great for parking and tight maneuvering. I've never...

    4s vs GTS -what to order??

    Nice! Glad they have that for this hear.

    Upside down?

    Front or rear lid? I had the rear lid refuse to close, because a piece of trim was malformed and poorly mounted on the back hatch, which caused it to sometimes not close. They had to order a new piece and replace it, but it's been fine since then.

    Rear Camera not working

    Well, if it's a safety problem, you should take it to the dealer right away. Most lemon laws have some "maximal time in shop" limits (California it's 30 days) so if they can't fix the safety problem until end January, that would be an automatic lemon buyback, if that's what you want. Or you...

    4s vs GTS -what to order??

    Yup, that's what I'm saying! Of course, in matters of taste, the customer is always right, so there is that.

    4s vs GTS -what to order??

    If differences in performance actually matters a lot to you, you should stretch for the Turbo. If you're OK with something that's not the peak performance to save some dollars, might as well save with the 4S. The base has some missing features that I'd understand if you want, though (four wheel...

    What's you tolerance for off center steering wheel?

    Steer by wire would let them fix this with software. I'm sure they'll get there eventually!

    Rear Camera not working

    The backup camera is a federally mandated safety feature, so you should absolutely complain to the dealer and, possibly, to the NTSB. If it happens again, consider investigating lemon laws in your state.

    4s vs GTS -what to order??

    Counterpoint: It's either a Turbo, or you save all the money and get the 4s. (Or, for that matter, the Audi Q6, if you're OK with sedate performance.)

    Paint-To-Sample (PTS) Overview - All colors, all models

    That green metallic is pretty good, but it doesn't quite "pop" enough :-) > why is it called paint-to-sample if it's just a limited set of colors? You can show up with a Pantone color swatch, or even just your favorite handbag, and they will analyze whether they can-and-will match that...
