    Winter Wheel Size Advice Please

    Merci, that’s reassuring! I don’t know if the alpine roads are as salty as in the US, here they pretty much coat the road, to the point that you have to use your windshield wipers to see through the salt.

    Bose vs Standard

    ? As mentioned in another thread, I’ve found the Bose system to be pretty disappointing, but it’s definitely much better than the standard system, which is (I think) unacceptably bad for a car at this price.

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

    As an audiophile snob ? I’ve always found the Bose systems (and Bose in general) to be quite disappointing in the different cars I’ve had. In the 911 it was fighting against the engine noise in most situations, and in the ICE Macan, I found it slightly better because of the probably better...

    Expected depreciation?

    @tmrqs have you checked the Four wheel trader Taycan depreciation videos? I’ve watched most of them when I was looking to buy a used Taycan. They are a bit scary, but they will give you historical trends by trim and model year. https://www.youtube.com/c/FourwheelTraderCardepreciationanalysis

    Effect of Drive Mode on range and regeneration (and what about steering and throttle response?)

    Steering and throttle inputs are definitely sharpened in sport mode, that’s pretty much what the mode does (outside of chassis and height changes). Interesting findings re: regen. Since normal is the new range mode on Macan EV, I’m not surprised it’s aggressively turning down/off the front...

    Winter Wheel Size Advice Please

    Same here! It’s much cheaper, and since I don’t change the wheels or tires myself, the only downside is that my 21” Macan Design wheels will probably age faster, because of the salt.

    Satisfaction survey - Poll for current Macan EV owners only

    Seems like with this first series (similar to the Taycan launch?) when people have issues, they're serious issues. My guess is that in the majority of these cases, Porsche is on it and will try to make things right. I'd definitely like to hear more from people who voted 3.

    Can you save drive modes

    Oh, good to know. My problem is I switch to sport regularly, and it's when I go back to normal that I lose the lower suspension.

    Can you save drive modes

    I've been wondering about the same thing @Flxjet, there doesn't seem to be a way ?

    Can you save drive modes

    ? @nulled in the past, I always checked the Sport Chrono box to get the dial, but this time I really hesitated, since the dial is now standard. In the past, it was also the only way to get the PSM Sport mode (i.e. stability management not entirely off), but I'm not not even sure it's true...

    Mostly happy (I voted 2), here is my reasoning: Pros Handling, power, air suspensions, overall fun! Looks better than I thought (ice grey ?) I had a few doubts before delivery Rear-wheel steering is amazing Build quality (only issue: doors alignment is good, not perfect) Range is (so far) more...

    Can you save drive modes

    I have to say, being able to save specific driving settings has annoyed me in the past, like the fact that sport mode always came with sport exhaust by default. I remember companies selling aftermarket modules to change some of these default settings. I wouldn't cancel my order for that of...

    Any good PPF & Tint shop in NJ ?

    From what I've seen, you do want some parts removed because it means 1/ the installer won’t risk damaging the paint when cutting the PPF, and 2/ they can properly tuck in the film.

    What Software Version is your Macan EV on?

    Same, I posted my Android version here, it's the issue for me (too old).

    Door closing issue

    Same issue on my side, the front doors require too much force to be closed properly, and half the time I have to re-close them. This is not ok, but I'm pretty sure the dealership is going to say they can't do anything ?

    Rotating Random Sensor Alerts

    I do see the Assistance systems error a lot these days. It either clears by itself, or I have to wait for the next drive. That said, I have a pending software issue with my dealership, they've delivered my car with an outdated Android version (discussed here).

    Any good PPF & Tint shop in NJ ?

    It's not NJ, but I can vouch for Detailing Dynamics in Long Island. I live in NYC, and that's where I have taken my cars for PPF and ceramic coating. They're not cheap, but the the quality is worth it.
