Thank you! These cars are beautiful.

Thanks!

Thanks! Now I have estimates for 2-year and 3-year depreciation which gives me more data points to plot on a graph. Much appreciated!

I made a fan film of the electric Macan by editing together a bunch of media clips, converting them to black and white, and layering on some AI generated music for fun. I tried to post the video directly here, but it was too big, so here's a YouTube link instead:

That's true. We do have different standard features on the cars here in the U.S. — like the panoramic sunroof and air suspension for example. And the U.S. is a very different consumer base too. Heck, even state to state we have totally different views on EVs here. Time will indeed tell.

100% agree on the point about folks not caring about depreciation. I don't care how much value it loses when I (hopefully) get one. It's an amazing vehicle. I only care about depreciation because it pushes the car into my price range ? Based on the residual values after 3 years of about 50%...

For fun, I asked ChatGPT Deep Research to compile all recent Macan EV lease offers from about 20 different Porsche dealers, and work in 3 year depreciation estimates from trusted sources like Edmunds, KBB, JD Power etc. I asked it to summarize its findings in a table. Here's what it came up...

Could possibly be mileage difference? or maybe just options on the vehicle?

Thanks for including all the details about the model, months, mileage. Very helpful for comparison!

Thanks for the info!

Since there are only two model years of Macan out there, I'm curious what sort of depreciation lease companies are projecting. If you lease a new Macan, and you know your expected depreciation amount, can you post the estimated depreciation value here along with the length of your lease? Or if...

My ID.4 isn't the worst sound, but it's louder than I'd like it to be. I've definitely heard some really loud, high pitch, obnoxious safety sounds on some cars.

In North America, all Porche Macans come with the pedestrian alert sound as standard: Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) The acoustic vehicle warning system is always active. An emotive vehicle sound that was developed by Porsche engineers to increase road safety. This is separate...

That's a great point. I would much prefer if it was ONLY an exterior sound since it's for pedestrian safety. It shouldn't be piped into the cabin. I've never heard one I like.

I can't seem to find any videos or recordings of the Macan low-speed EV safety sound. I'm not talking about the optional electric sport sound. I mean the sound all EVs make when in drive or reverse and traveling at speeds from 0-20MPH. My ID.4 isn't terrible, but I don't love it. I know they're...
