They asked me not to take photos and I was outnumbered so I complied. Trust me, you will want one!
I did get a glimpse of a cockpit before they threw a cover over it - it looks like it might be getting close to production as things were looking advanced.
Trip summary: 1,500 miles, no problems. It’s so much fun to drive on a long road trip: fast, safe, quiet, comfortable, great tech, fun. And, after the Bose speakers broke in the sound was great.
Our car is a Macan 4, 22 inch wheels.
We used the Porsche charge planner and it is exceptionally...
My partner and I have shared a single car for 28 years. Not once in those 28 years was there a competition for who got to drive the car as I actually didn't like driving; I was content to sit in the passenger's seat.
It's a very different story since the Macan EV came into our lives. Now...
A few of you asked for more photos. I took a few of the exterior and interior that I feel accurately represent how the Provence / Blackberry combo looks in real life. I purposefully took shots highlighting the infinite color palette that is Provence in various light conditions. I opened the...
Yesterday, we were charging our car at an Electrify America charger in Southern California. Great experience - witnessed 265 KW peak, and plug and charge worked perfectly.
The reason for this post - while we were charging, a beautiful, shiny new Macan EV pulled into a spot to charge. About 5...
We went out to start our car and were greeted with many errors. And the car wouldn’t start. We kind of panicked as the car was stuck in our garage. The dealer sent a tow truck to our house, and while we were waiting, I decided to try to start the car again. This time everything was peachy.
I...
In reality, blackberry is several shades darker than your photos portray (as you point out). It’s really kinda retro elegant in real life. My partner thinks the combination of Provence / Blackberry is “particularly fetching”. I’m going to try to capture the reality with a real camera today. If...
Yesterday, we drove 250ish miles averaging 63 mph. 65 degrees F average temp. We had 2 heavy e-bikes on a hitch mount (batteries removed) on our Macan 4.
Without the bikes we would average 3.2 miles per kwh. With the bikes, we observed 2.7miles per kwh. So, around 15% impact.
We have a long...
We live in coastal California (mild climate) so maybe our range wouldn’t be achievable by others, but we have averaged 3.2 miles per kWh since we got the car. Very happy with this. Varied driving conditions too (city, highway, mountain roads).
I read on a European site that these 22’s are more...
We did the whole purple experience: Provence exterior / Blackberry interior. Like all of you, we were very nervous until we saw one in person. And, like all of you, we have found purple / lavender/ gray impossible to photograph. We’ve lived with it for 7 weeks now and love it. It’s not for...
Thanks so much Diego (and Yves). Given you both have had similar experiences to mine, I'm going to assume my errors are "gremlins".
So, I will retrieve our car from the service on Monday and take it on its first road trip down the California coast (with our bikes on the back). The weather is...
I know at least one other forum member has experienced seeing a series of error messages at start up (and the car won’t start):
- Engine control error, park vehicle safely
- Please charge battery
- Charging not possible, visit workshop
- High voltage system error, service required
- Charging...
I originally was in the happy camp, after a few weeks and 4 service visits, I moved to the minor issues camp, Today I regret my decision. I do not know when we will get our car back given the last issues. . But, who knows, if they can get my car stable, I can easily become happy again.
We're on a lease (thank god). I suspect I keep paying until this is resolved. And do they let us keep the loaner until we get a new car? Or does the loaner get returned after they buy back the car? Then, do I have to get in the queue for a new car. What I'd love to happen would be for them...
I've posted a few times over the past 6 weeks. For the 2-ish weeks when I've been able to drive the Macan 4, I've loved it. Most fun I've ever had in a car.
However, I have never been to a dealership's service center more in my life. Here's my saga (as I've reported on several threads).
-...
We are going to take our first road trip. We have bike racks that secure onto our trailer hitch. My partner was curious if anyone knew the impact this will have on range? Doesn’t really matter, just curious if anyone had experience yet.
Thanks for the excellent advice. I've incorporated your suggestions in the email I've sent to the GM of the dealership. I'll let you know what happens.
