  1. Macan EV Insurance

    I was with NFU for some time and always had trackers fitted. When I ordered the Macan 4S they gave me a quote, but before the delivery they almost doubled it. Went to Admiral and for the Macan and another car and house it was cheaper than NFU just for the Macan. They were uncompetitive against...
  2. Porsche charging service UK

    UK Charging Service rates - https://assets-v2.porsche.com/int/-/media/Project/PCOM/Europe/International/Charging-Service/PCS_Plus_Pricelist Gridserve now 59p against their standard rate of between 82p - 89p. There is a blocking fee - DC after 60 mins is 20p / minute.
  3. Porsche charging service UK

    VW are a part owner of IONITY, as are Merc, BMW, Hyundai and Ford. It’s the manufactures adopting the Tesla charging model. I don't need to use the App as Plug & Charge works really well on GRIDSERVE that I favour. GRIDSERVE are expanding their Forecourts and they are similar to the Porsche...
  4. 4S Range

    My 4s last week returned 3.7 miles / kw doing a 50/50 split of dual carriageway and A or B roads over about 200 miles
  5. Macan EV Insurance

    I am insured with Admiral. Got a good deal last year. They have declined to swap my insurance of the Macan for a Cayenne EV base despite it being 1s slower. This may be due to the car being a new model. BUT last year Porsche insurance were far far more than Admiral but they have become very...
  6. Potential New Owner

    I have no rattles or vibrations, other than the passenger seat belt which they did a comparing to fix. I have a 4S on Air and initially was disappointed with the noise and harshness (I have owned EV’s before so know about the different environment). Changed the Bridgestone’s for Pirelli’s and...
  7. Range variation

    Your range before the update looks amazing 520 km / 80% = 650 km at 100% = 390 miles or over 4 miles / kw. Whereas now 440 km / 80% = 550 km at 100% = 330 miles or 3.5 miles / kw Which is still pretty good. That said, there is another thread about your issue. My car is going in next Tuesday...
  8. Dealer versus insurer versus DVLA

    The Porsche Vodafone tracker is a dealer option not factory. You pay the dealer to supply & fit and then Vodafone for the annual subscription.
  9. Dealer versus insurer versus DVLA

    If you want a tracker fitted Porsche (UK) will say using a non-Porsche (aka Vodafone) tracker your warranty MAY be void for electrical issues. I didn’t want to risk that, so went with a dealer fitted Vodafone. My insurer (Admiral) didn’t make it mandatory but I went with one anyway as I have had...
  10. Dealer versus insurer versus DVLA

    The selection was fairly limited. As the reg has to have the initial region letters and the number is the year it doesn’t leave much choice.
  11. Dealer versus insurer versus DVLA

  13. Macan EV availability UK - new stock

    I agree - I couldn't live with iPad looking screen - looks like an afterthought.
  14. Macan EV availability UK - new stock

    I have total trust in the Colchester dealership. If they are saying 6 months then I would absolutely believe them. As much as I would hope that Porsche are having problems satisfying demand - I suspect that it may not be that the EV is so popular but that Porsche is reducing production of them...
  15. Range in Macan Turbo

    If you go to the UK configurator and look at the technical data for a turbo on standard wheels then select 22” spider wheels the range reduces by 22 miles. So, that would be the minimum I guess.
  16. Range in Macan Turbo

    My 4S at reasonably mild weather is reporting a total range of 320 miles
  17. Are all UK dealers similar for customer service?

    I’m sure the locals would have preferred the US base to remain - it houses asylum seekers now. They spend less locally than the US contingent when they were there !
  18. Are all UK dealers similar for customer service?

    I have nothing but praise for Colchester. Everyone there is very helpful and courteous. James sold me the car and Josie in service both provide excellent service. Unfortunately, too far away from Herts. As proof that Colchester has a well earned great reputation - recently James May bought his...
  19. Do I need Headlight beam deflectors in France?

    From Good To Now Activating travel mode When you cross the border into a country where traffic drives on the other side of the road, the light distribution of the headlights must be adapted. All light distributions with the exception of the manual dimmed headlights are changed. This prevents...
  20. Bridgestone Tyres - ENLITEN ?

    I’ve ordered Pirelli Scorpion MS All Season as they are reported to be quiet and ’comfortable’ - I’m replacing my Bridgestone Potenza‘s (allegedly specifically for Macan’s among other cars). With acoustic glass and air I find them noisy and unduly ‘rigid).
