    Macan 4 EV vs. Macan GTS ICE

    I like this! Although RWD and 4 both make sense: RWD has the best range and the cheaper entry point, and 4 is what people think an SUV should be (although what they really need is winter tires). About GTS/Turbo - The gen 1 Macan GTS had a boosted S engine, and gen 2 (the one I had) had a...

    Yet another Ice Grey Turbo Macan EV - owner first impressions

    I'd say, traffic around NYC is actually quite slow on average. On a fluid highway, I do ~2.9mi/kWh.

    Yet another Ice Grey Turbo Macan EV - owner first impressions

    An almost perfect spec šŸ‘Œ Just kidding, looks great! Definitely curious to hear more about InnoDrive, I'm not yet at the point where I regret not having it, but you never know. This. I've been passing cars on the highway a few times, thinking why is everyone so slow? Turns out I was the one...

    Macan 4 EV vs. Macan GTS ICE

    Same here. I've owned several Porsches, and the previous one was a Macan GTS (because... family!) To be clear, I don't pretend to be objective, most people here are happy owners of a Macan EV so obviously there is a lot of confirmation bias. My personal experience is that I have never really...

    Macan EV Turbo Ice Gray Delivered and WOW šŸ¤©

    Wow, amazing pictures, love the attention to detail šŸ‘Œ Re: brakes, I agree completely, in fact driving any other car can be scary, because you expect the brakes to be much more aggressive.

    Winter Wheel Size Advice Please

    Merci, thatā€™s reassuring! I donā€™t know if the alpine roads are as salty as in the US, here they pretty much coat the road, to the point that you have to use your windshield wipers to see through the salt.

    Bose vs Standard

    šŸ‘ As mentioned in another thread, Iā€™ve found the Bose system to be pretty disappointing, but itā€™s definitely much better than the standard system, which is (I think) unacceptably bad for a car at this price.

    Macan EV BOSE - not as good as it was on the ICE Macan

    As an audiophile snob šŸ˜€ Iā€™ve always found the Bose systems (and Bose in general) to be quite disappointing in the different cars Iā€™ve had. In the 911 it was fighting against the engine noise in most situations, and in the ICE Macan, I found it slightly better because of the probably better...

    Expected depreciation?

    @tmrqs have you checked the Four wheel trader Taycan depreciation videos? Iā€™ve watched most of them when I was looking to buy a used Taycan. They are a bit scary, but they will give you historical trends by trim and model year. https://www.youtube.com/c/FourwheelTraderCardepreciationanalysis

    Effect of Drive Mode on range and regeneration (and what about steering and throttle response?)

    Steering and throttle inputs are definitely sharpened in sport mode, thatā€™s pretty much what the mode does (outside of chassis and height changes). Interesting findings re: regen. Since normal is the new range mode on Macan EV, Iā€™m not surprised itā€™s aggressively turning down/off the front...

    Winter Wheel Size Advice Please

    Same here! Itā€™s much cheaper, and since I donā€™t change the wheels or tires myself, the only downside is that my 21ā€ Macan Design wheels will probably age faster, because of the salt.

    Satisfaction survey - Poll for current Macan EV owners only

    Seems like with this first series (similar to the Taycan launch?) when people have issues, they're serious issues. My guess is that in the majority of these cases, Porsche is on it and will try to make things right. I'd definitely like to hear more from people who voted 3.

    Can you save drive modes

    Oh, good to know. My problem is I switch to sport regularly, and it's when I go back to normal that I lose the lower suspension.

    Can you save drive modes

    Can you save drive modes

    šŸ‘ @nulled in the past, I always checked the Sport Chrono box to get the dial, but this time I really hesitated, since the dial is now standard. In the past, it was also the only way to get the PSM Sport mode (i.e. stability management not entirely off), but I'm not not even sure it's true...

    Can you save drive modes

    I have to say, being able to save specific driving settings has annoyed me in the past, like the fact that sport mode always came with sport exhaust by default. I remember companies selling aftermarket modules to change some of these default settings. I wouldn't cancel my order for that of...

    Any good PPF & Tint shop in NJ ?

    From what I've seen, you do want some parts removed because it means 1/ the installer wonā€™t risk damaging the paint when cutting the PPF, and 2/ they can properly tuck in the film.
