That’s a good summary. NYC roads are the worst I’ve experienced, so I’m good with my 21”. I do think 22” look the best ?

I don’t want to worry you, and I haven’t driven the Polestar 2, but I have to say the ride in the Macan EV can be relatively firm. I had an ICE Macan before, and it was definitely a comfier ride. I have 21” wheels btw.

I'm sure you won't regret it, and it's the trim with the best performance/price ratio IMO.

I'm not surprised by your Range Rover experience, I'm a little bit more surprised by Lexus. Honestly so far, the issues most people seem to have encountered with the Macan EV are minor. I personally had a software update problem, it got fixed, and for the past 1,000 miles I have had no issues...

So you're telling me you have a sample size of one person who happens to work at a Porsche dealership, and whose car has been broken because of software issues... ?️‍♂️ More seriously, it does look like software issues can be really serious (as we've seen on this forum), but seem to only impact...

Do we have evidence that they indeed change individual battery modules, or is it somewhat theoretical/too new?

I'm 100% aligned with your message @USMA81.

That would make a lot of sense considering it's their biggest market and there is a high risk that importing cars is going to get much more expensive soon.

It's kind of hard to use average depreciation for a car like the Macan. It's a niche market, and demand is still not clear. The Taycan depreciation didn't follow the industry average, nor the Porsche average for ICE cars. Until we have better data, I'd follow the official lease depreciation...

To balance things out a bit, Porsche went almost bankrupt several times in the past, and they have a stronger brand and more profitable lineup today. Luxury cars will be fine, I think. I'm more worried about the EV transition in Europe, and the social cost that may come with it. Anyone has good...

I thought you liked a good challenge!

Should we try to combine information from this thread on how happy people are with each brand/model? Seems like something @tmrqs would love ?

Definitely don't try that in a fast DC charger ? I'd personally be concerned this is going to slowly introduce play between the parts, eventually leading to the charge door becoming loose.

Oh weird, I do find the bass too present in mine? Could it be trim-dependent? I wouldn't think so.

Highly personal suggestions :D I personally think the default sound in stereo with -1 bass is the closest I have found to natural reproduction. What these settings will do is reduce even more the middle part of the spectrum, which I find already lacking. But to be fair, that's kind of Bose's...

How is the Polestar 2?

I'm joking, definitely a personal preference!

But, but, it's way too much bass! ?

Haha yeah same. At home, I still sometimes switch back and forth, and Spotify always sounds like the music is muffled a bit. In the car, I played with the different Bose modes and treble/bass adjustments, the result is always bad, I landed on Stereo / -1 Bass and that's it.

I was going to say, I use Tidal at home and I can hear the difference between Spotify and Tidal easily. In my car, they both sound terrible ? I have never listened to the Burmester system though.
