    Random daily Macan EV photos - post yours! 🤳

    No artistic merit, just to show what the earliest-ever swap to winter tyres (tires if British English offends) looks like. The least expensive wheel option (not cheapest, just least expensive). Early swap due to trip timing and habit of the RCMP to wait on our highway home at the start of next...

    iOS 26 CarPlay breaks the navigation integration?

    Apple Maps, iOS 26 (release version), Macan 4S - direction arrow working in tube and HUD for me.

    Yet another one week review. 4S

    The fake sound machine, the thing that makes an EV go vroom vroom, particularly inside :). I’ve got the Bose installation for music.

    Anyone know what this is on the paint?

    As a gentle start, try some clay bar and quick detailer. Too much pressure might smear it around, so go easy. Look for "Meguiar's Clay Bar Kit with 3 Pack Clay Bars and Microfiber Towel for Auto Detailing - Smooth Surface Car Clay Bar Kit" or similar. I think tree sap is a likely candidate.

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    Apple Maps also offers that and I’ve seen it working in the Porsche (the overview map looks like you’re calling in an airstrike). The Apple Maps one also integrates with Watch for when you’re out of the car. Probably the Google version does as well.

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    Maps can be updated via USB, or at least there is an option in the map settings screen.

    Yet another one week review. 4S

    It's a one-week review. Yay! The car: a Gentian 4S with many options (HUD, RWS, PTV+, Bordeaux interior, air quality thingy, etc.) and a few "omissions" (only 20" wheels, no sound unit, manual charge hatch). The car it replaces: a 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance. The location: glorious...

    Porsche NACS complimentary adapter email

    I’ll wager there’ll be two parcels - “Adapter, universal, North America” and “Adapter documentation pack, Canadian English/French” although both are listed at 1.9kg.

    NA Porsche owners can now access Tesla Supercharger network. Free adapter for all Macan EV owners

    It’s overnight shipping, but the carrier doesn’t have it yet (14:00 Vancouver). Maybe Monday, probably Tuesday based on previous FedEx transactions. But if they’re in a bad mood they may not pick it up until next week.

    Porsche NACS complimentary adapter email

    Two for me here, also in Canada. But they’re only “Label created” on the tracking site - I’ve known FedEx take days to actually do anything from that stage.

    Porsche NACS complimentary adapter email

    Canada, free (as for all Macans), 4S. Invitation and then confirmation emails received.

    NA Porsche owners can now access Tesla Supercharger network. Free adapter for all Macan EV owners

    Read it again. You’re listed as a Macan owner, yes? “all existing Macan Electric owners are eligible for a complimentary adapter”

    911 Turbo S drivetrain explainer

    So you can watch the Patrick Dempsey one (and it's quite good) but you know you want the Engineering Explained version: It goes through the hybrid system, including the two eTurbos, along with how they (plus the battery if it has any charge) can feed the eMotor between the engine and the PDK...

    Front windshield weatherstripping - discolored and deteriorating

    I’ve just been reading the manual (I know, hand in my man card on the way out). I noticed there’s a set of requirements for windscreen washer fluid including that it should be Phosphate-free. I have no idea whether that is related to the problem. Both the bottles in my garage are just dilute...

    Any regrets / do-over wishes for your Macan EV specs? …”No Ragrets? Not even a single letter?” …

    Just taken delivery of mine yesterday. Other than a P&C certificate issue that's being resolved everything is perfect. Except... who signed off on those sun visors? Have they ever driven north or south? Will be looking for a third party extension or will invest in some dorky sunglasses with...

    [Poll] - how much for the NACS adatper?

    As one of the seven people with faith that it would be free, I'm still amazed. Porsche really is great. EDIT: okay, who added a vote after we knew the price? Own up, who did it? I can wait all day.

    Placed your Macan EV order? Post your configuration! 🙋🏻‍♂️

    It's a "Jurassic Park" option: the engineers could do it, but didn't think about whether they should do it. On my Tesla the flip-out hatch feels cheap and has taken to spontaneously opening in the car park - to the extent I wonder whether someone has hacked the app. It also fails to open...

    90 days later - What I would have changed in my config (2025 Macan 4S EV)

    Didn't realize the sound was piped outside.

    More comfort, smarter assistance and enhanced entertainment for the Porsche Macan

    Another lap around. Cool. https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/my%E2%80%992026-configurator-changes-new-macan-options-added.22233/page-8#post-333111
