... you could, but you'd be wrong (if https://exoticcarcolors.com/car-color/chalk is to be believed): RGB(165,164,172). Not quite equal. Do I get a prize for pettifogging pedantry?

I’ve only got 100amp in my modernish townhouse, but it supports, at a pinch, our Tesla wall box and a hot tub. We have some fancy box that makes sure the hot tub always has supply when it needs it. My point? 100 works for home charging if you’re careful.

Good spec. With regards to the Turbo, I wavered, but by the time I broached the subject with the SA, the allocation of Turbos (to Vancouver Porsche at least) had dried up - talk to them now if you're thinking seriously of the Turbo. I will be perfectly happy with the 4S when it arrives, and the...

They've programmed in a bit of sarcasm. Give it that human touch. "Great! I guess". This is what happens when you quote consumption in that unit - it should be reframed as how much is consumed in how much time or distance, like l/100km, rather than miles per gallon. Just my pedantic opinion...

There are not enough emojis in the world.

As of last month, Porsche specifically said they remain committed to it: https://www.macrumors.com/2025/06/25/porsche-reaffirms-carplay-ultra-plans/ The original interview was in the Financial Times which is behind a paywall.

Thoughts? There are tens of reviews of the Macan out there. Some of them not even designed to create engagement for a YouTuber. Broadly reviews are positive, niggles are found and commented on. Owners on here (I will be soon) are mostly happy, but there are a few "squeaky wheels" in this forum...

What is the "transmission" transmitting, out of interest? From where to where? EDIT: since I really don't want to bother doing any more replies: "Even without electrical assistance, the boxer engine delivers 357 kW (485 PS) and 570 Nm of torque. In combination with the high-voltage system, the...

TACO protocol engaged for the seven hundredth time this year. World shrugs.

What is the PDK-connected motor doing? Just spinning for the sheer joy of it? Yes it “also” powers the ancillaries (via the 4 system), but power is reaching the wheels from that motor. It can be spun by the engine, therefore acting as a generator, but it can also impart spin in the same chain...

Porsche News article about T-Hybrid "and a strengthened eight-speed dual clutch transmission (PDK) with an integrated electric motor" "As a generator, it produces up to 11 kW of electrical power. It uses this energy to feed the electric motor in the Porsche dual clutch transmission (PDK) or to...

I like to leave my tinfoil hat in the dark recesses of the wardrobe of my teenage years, but the comments section of YouTube EV -related videos always makes me think that "Big Oil", or "Big ICE" is paying bunches of people to say a variation of "Ha! It'll be worth 5 dollars in three years and...

I don't know if they do the weird timing that US magazines do (one foot rollout or similar). Or perhaps the racetrack is much grippier than the surface used for official timing. Or maybe Porsche really are conservative with specs, as is often said.

"We race the World's Quickest SUVs in this Exclusive! The brand-new, Gen-2 Rivian R1S Quad faces off against the limited Lucid Gravity Dream Edition, the Porsche Macan Turbo Electric, the Range Rover Sport SV, and the Audi RS Q8 Performance!"

An occluded front occurs and you can expect a cyclone or at least rain. Meteorology humour there folks. I’m here all week.

Article I saw said “June/July” so patience may still be needed. It’s a quote from a VW rep in a PC Mag article (noted provider of car news): https://www.pcmag.com/news/volkswagen-evs-to-get-tesla-supercharger-access-in-june-ces-2025 Headline says June, quote says June/July.

I live in Whistler (snow tires mandatory on the highway up here). How we laugh when YouTube/Insta fills up with clips of people spinning around on .5mm of snow in Vancouver (they’ve never heard of snow tires down there). If the temperature gets below 7C where you are, at least get all season...

Here's hoping for a wider variety of colours. But that red, that's a little... challenging.

Hope you selected the "Pantograph J1772" adapter in the configurator.

No. Macan is big enough already for the two of us.
