    Interesting conversation with a Porsche dealership employee about his personal Macan EV…

    So you're telling me you have a sample size of one person who happens to work at a Porsche dealership, and whose car has been broken because of software issues... ?️‍♂️ More seriously, it does look like software issues can be really serious (as we've seen on this forum), but seem to only impact...

    Expected depreciation?

    Do we have evidence that they indeed change individual battery modules, or is it somewhat theoretical/too new?

    Expected depreciation?

    I'm 100% aligned with your message @USMA81.

    German Economic Model In Trouble

    That would make a lot of sense considering it's their biggest market and there is a high risk that importing cars is going to get much more expensive soon.

    Expected depreciation?

    It's kind of hard to use average depreciation for a car like the Macan. It's a niche market, and demand is still not clear. The Taycan depreciation didn't follow the industry average, nor the Porsche average for ICE cars. Until we have better data, I'd follow the official lease depreciation...

    German Economic Model In Trouble

    To balance things out a bit, Porsche went almost bankrupt several times in the past, and they have a stronger brand and more profitable lineup today. Luxury cars will be fine, I think. I'm more worried about the EV transition in Europe, and the social cost that may come with it. Anyone has good...

    What factory tires are on your Macan EV? Satisfied with them?

    I thought you liked a good challenge!

    What factory tires are on your Macan EV? Satisfied with them?

    Should we try to combine information from this thread on how happy people are with each brand/model? Seems like something @tmrqs would love ?

    Charging Port Error Message

    Definitely don't try that in a fast DC charger ? I'd personally be concerned this is going to slowly introduce play between the parts, eventually leading to the charge door becoming loose.

    Macan EV BOSE - not as good as it was on the ICE Macan

    Oh weird, I do find the bass too present in mine? Could it be trim-dependent? I wouldn't think so.

    Macan EV BOSE - not as good as it was on the ICE Macan

    Highly personal suggestions :D I personally think the default sound in stereo with -1 bass is the closest I have found to natural reproduction. What these settings will do is reduce even more the middle part of the spectrum, which I find already lacking. But to be fair, that's kind of Bose's...

    Macan EV BOSE - not as good as it was on the ICE Macan

    Haha yeah same. At home, I still sometimes switch back and forth, and Spotify always sounds like the music is muffled a bit. In the car, I played with the different Bose modes and treble/bass adjustments, the result is always bad, I landed on Stereo / -1 Bass and that's it.

    Macan EV BOSE - not as good as it was on the ICE Macan

    I was going to say, I use Tidal at home and I can hear the difference between Spotify and Tidal easily. In my car, they both sound terrible ? I have never listened to the Burmester system though.

    What factory tires are on your Macan EV? Satisfied with them?

    I realize it's actually the same in France ? Fitting new cars with summer tires by default (as I just read) feels unsafe?

    What factory tires are on your Macan EV? Satisfied with them?

    That's good to know! I'm not a big fan of the Michelin Pilot Sport EV so far, so I will look at Pirelli when time comes.

    What factory tires are on your Macan EV? Satisfied with them?

    When I asked my (well reviewed) local shop the likelihood that they would damage the wheel, they told me it was rare, but they couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't happen. When I went to Porsche, they told me their machine never touches the wheel. After searching a bit, it looks like common tire...
