    Macan EV Collapsible Tyre - London TW9

    I thought all Macan EVs came with a 12V air compressor and sealant kit which means you don’t need a collapsible tyre…..?

    Tire puncture repairs

    I had a puncture due to a screw not that near the edge at 2k miles. The dealer said they never repaired so I asked local tyre dealer for a quote on the Bridgestone replacement. They said that that particular tyre “hadn’t been released” to the independents so I could only get it from/through...

    An example of how photos can fail to convey the accurate color

    Do you mean Ice Grey Metallic or Dolomite Silver Metallic? If it’s Ice Grey then that is an amazing colour as it changes colour dependent on the light intensity which is because it has flakes of aluminium in it. We didn’t know which colour to choose from the configurator but on going to a big...

    Macan EV Charger Cover Flap Not Flush

    I’ve had my “strange” cover flap now for ten months. As I’ve said before on this thread the shape is due to the hydroscopic properties of the lining and Porsche don’t seem to have found a better option (according to Porsche UK). However other members of this forum have described a change in...

    CarGurus review Macan 4

    This reviewer couldn’t be more pleased with himself. Despite the fact that he couldn’t find anything significantly negative about the car he chose to dis the interior which (in my turbo and full leather) I think is a quality product and he doesn’t comment on the superb drive characteristics of...

    Macan EV Charger Cover Flap Not Flush

    I have asked Porsche many times about this and only very recently have they come up with an explanation. Apparently the lining of the flaps is hydroscopic (and it is this that bends the flaps) - this is the reason. All the flaps are like this and the latest T1 (their fix) relines them but with...

    Macan EV Charger Cover Flap Not Flush

    Porsche UK seem to be sitting very tight on the ill-fitting flap issue. My feeling is that for this premier brand company, a “head in the sand” attitude is disgraceful. I have badgered my dealer who in all other respects is excellent but they are secretly being told by Porsche to delay, delay...

    Gripes 6mo into ownership

    No rattles, no sunroof, doors shut with reassuring thunk (no one mentioned “soft close” in the UK) and the rocker needs a firm touch - all good so far.. Agree with hand signal for frunk so I’ve given up trying and use fob instead.

    Porsche Dashcam

    I did the same...The Porsche Dashcam is good looking (what a surprise!) and has excellent quality videos front and back. However it's a pain to use until you get things sorted especially with an Apple phone.

    Porsche Dashcam

    Many thanks for that - do you know if you can play the dashcam’s recorded footage by removing the card and playing it your computer?

    Porsche Dashcam

    Thought it would be a good idea to install the Porsche Dashcam in the car and thus the App as well. It has been a nightmare as yet unresolved. I live in an area of poor phone signal which means the Porsche App sometimes gives me accurate information and sometimes it doesn’t - I have gotten used...

    Gripes 6mo into ownership

    Also Turbo six months - stopped trying to open frunk with a swipe (it’s hardly difficult the other way though it should be consistent). otherwise no rattles at all (though no sunroof), door closing is excellent, rocker no prob. Very happy..

    Macan 4 EV Range Test by Bjorn Nyland

    He did say that if you valued space and range efficiency then chose the Audi with the implication that if you valued the quality of the drive. handling etc. and the sound system then choose the Porsche - only the second inference was left unspoken!

    POLL: Pick your top 5 most desirable options for Macan EV build

    Hadn’t realised what zero options the car started with so I avoided adding leather interior and the matrix LED lights, both of which I greatly appreciate. Once you start on the “extras” you realise how cleverly Porsche has ramped up your spending…as they not really extras (in the true sense of...

    The 14-way and 18-way seats really don't suit tall drivers

    I’m 1.89 metres and 85 Kg and my front seat (18 way) is fine AND I’m comfortable in the rear seats - how tall are you?

    Macan EV Charger Cover Flap Not Flush

    Yes agreed - I have manual flaps and mentioned it to the dealer in November. I was told “ Porsche is aware”. Given that in other countries than the UK this fault is being corrected I think that Porsche UK should reach out and communicate with new Porsche Macan EV owners, recall those with...

    Less than positive review

    A critics review will never be the same as a drivers review and this critic seemed to be searching under every stone for negatives most of which were subjective. Who would be pushing this car at 4% charge? Answer = Only someone desperate to find fault. I have a full spec. on my turbo plus 22...

    Insulated glass or rear wiper? (First post by a Porsche newbie.)

    I had the same dilemma and discussed it in detail with the experienced salesman with whom I dealt. Previously had a rear wiper so was nervous without it. Eventually went with the insulated glass (22 inch wheels) and the upgraded sound system. Delighted with result as super quiet car on all...
