I will continue on with this thread as a happy owner of a 4S since February. This is also my first EV, and the only EV I've driven for an extended period of time. I don't think I can ever go back to an ICE, and when I do have to drive my wife's Mercedes GLS (a wonderful SUV otherwise) I find...
Getting into a Macan ICE loaner was the best thing that ever happened to make me realize how great my 4S is. Software glitches excluded, it's just on another level of quality all the way around (and I've also realized I likely will never go back to an ICE vehicle.... once you get the EV tourqe...
I am right there with you. I took my 4S in because it was not connecting to porsche connect and not allowing me to log into my vehicle. I received a brand new loaner Macan ICE. When I first sat in it I was shocked at how dated everything looked. The ICE driving dynamics were also jarring...
Looking back, my dad had pretty practical taste. Subaru and Toyota fan. However, he did own a Mercur Xr4ti which he handed down to me when I turned 16. I remember it being fun to drive and I felt very cool driving a turbo hatchback at the time. Alas, it had problems and only lasted me a few years.
Honestly, they are probably just fine. For me, decisions on most of these things are knowing I didn't get the "best" and "fear of missing out". However, after a few months, most of that anxiety goes away.
I'm 6'5 and about 200 lbs. Generally thinner frame. I got the 14 way seats because no massage function was a deal breaker for my wife. I think initially I was overthinking the seats and trying to "feel" any potential problems with them, but after 3 months I think they are great. No...
If you generally don't like a HUD, then there is no particular reason to get the Porsche HUD. I personally wouldn't option a vehicle without it at this point because I'm so used to them now, but in my opinion the Porsche HUD is as good and useful as most others. I find the artificial reality...
Interesting. If that's happening I see none of that with my vehicle so either its very subtle or I've got faulty lights. I'll look closely next time I'm driving at night.
Based on my experience with a Volvo XC90 (I believe it was a 2018) and a 2021 Mercedes GLS, the Porsche matrix headlights absolutely are not as good as either. Very basic auto high beam which is just table stakes in pretty much any vehicle now. If I'm going to pay a premium, at least give me a...
I had this issue recently. When connected to car play I was no longer getting a data connection. I did not do a factor reset but just deleted my phone connection (from both the device menu in pcm and also Bluetooth on my phone). Then I repaired my phone to the car. Connection and data now works...
I do find it a little funny thinking someone is actually reading that warning in its entirety every time they leave the car. Is it really going to help me remember to grab my phone? If one replaces the text, will there be an increase in the number of people left trapped in the back seat of the...
I know everyone’s needs are different, but personally I’ve stopped worrying about my max range and average consumption. Turned off the widgets on my dash to give me efficiency feedback, regen impact, etc. I found it was impacting my enjoyment of just driving the vehicle. After the first couple...
I know at least at my local dealer, they displayed my custom order as part of their available inventory before I had picked it up. I wouldn’t put much stock in inventory we see in online searches.
Don’t sweat it. There are a few on this forum that take particular joy in playing gotcha with the condescending “search is your friend” response within 30 minutes of a new thread being created. If that’s the game we were all going to play then AI could just take care of every macan ev question...
Sorry if it's been discussed already in this thread, but at least in the Bose system there is an "AudioPilot" setting which makes "Driving-noise dependent sound adjustments". Maybe that has gone haywire on you and you can try turning it off?
A great read and comes to a conclusion I would expect. The price difference of a new Taycan was just too much for me to stomach, as well as the outdated software. And, while the Turismo silhouette has grown on me, my initial impression was that it looked ridiculous in comparison to the...
