Have the same feeling about my Porsche loaners (ICE Macan's). I'm always happy to get my 4S back. Fortunately, the 2 loaners have only been for recalls/software updates. As for other Porsche owners, all I can say is the sales people at my Porsche dealer are big fans. One even got 2 Macan...

WOW!! Truly miserable. I've noticed that my dealer has no EV's on the show floor any more. Hybrid Cayenne yes.. Pure EV's .. none. On the other hand, several of the sales folks actually own Macan EV's and love them. One guy told me he got 2 of them.. one for him (4S) and one for his...

Seriously?? The only time mine comes even close to trying to turn on it's own is to keep me in a lane .. above 30 mph .. normally that doesn't bother me unless there's some idiot parked on the side of the road partly to mostly in the lane. Unfortunately, that happens a lot here with 'mow and...

All interesting reflections in this video. I do believe that Porsche has a hard road ahead with software especially with anything one would consider Software Defined. His take is more balanced than I expected. He does point out that some manufacturers assume that OTA can replace actual...

I'm sure the GTS is more refined and mature. I'd probably go for that now. However, I have a 2025 4S and enjoy it immensely. I have 21" wheels and the ride is more than acceptable and quiet. It's as fast as I need and handles very well (not track ready - no question). I was reminded of...

Not sure why but on my screens, I get Google maps on the center screen and I get a WAZE map on the dash screen. Once I give Google maps an active destination, the dash screen goes to 'Apple car play active' -- the Waze map goes away. Rather strange. Waze directions work on both center and...

Yeah... I'm not surprised. I actually watched a lot of content (mostly YouTube) on EV's and the Macan before getting one. So I had a good idea of what to expect. It is definitely different. I'm not surprised by some of the stories you mentioned. Maybe in a few years after 6 to 7...

If it's any consolation, I have had mine for 18 months (2025 Macan 4S). I have a Macan ICE loaner now for a day or so while mine is getting a software upgrade. It reminds me why I chose the EV. The Macan ICE is at best, bland in comparison. This is my 3rd Porsche (911 4S, Macan S) and...

One more testimonial. I have a 2025 4S. Have had it for 18 months now. I have 21 inch wheels with Michelin tires. I have no noises, no rattles (modulo that seat belt which I fixed for a few bucks on Amazon). It's my 3rd Porsche. No major issues. Some software glitches and one...

My lease runs out in March 2028. I have to make a decision then. I love the current car but I may go for the 2027 Cayenne EV coupe depending on what's available and when. I do have a deposit on a Rivian R2 Premium in case I decide to wait for the 2028 Macan. I'm NOT going back to ICE...

So my current lease is up in early 2028 (March). Right now, I don't expect to have access to 2028 cars at that time so I am thinking about either waiting or getting a 2027 Cayenne Coupe S (or GTS) if I don't see any interesting upgrades. I love my current Macan 4S but I also like some of the...

Anyone have any concrete information on how they are doing with orders for Cayenne's? I was at the NY Auto show yesterday. A few 'observations': 1) Porsche was stuck in an area with 'exotic cars'. You couldn't approach the cars at all - they were all fenced off. There were no electric...

As others have said, it reads like a souped up Innodrive including active lane changing. The only thing I would hope is improvements to the active lane keeping on winding highways. There is one that I drive on in the middle of New York State that is an upgraded local road and has...

40+ years for me.. Not surprised at all.. :like:

My understanding was that they: 1) use google maps as a base 2) connect with cloud based algorithms to do the planning. I suspect they are struggling with the myriads of new chargers (and CPO's) coming on line in the US (maybe in the EU and other parts of the world also). They have also...

Welcome.. Wow..that’s exactly my history with Porsche! I had a C4S, a Macan S and now drive a 4S. I’ve had the 4S for over a year now. Same exterior color. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. No major issues.. just some minor software glitches so far. Hope you enjoy it!

Are those add on apps? I can't tell. If they are, then they definitely get updates over the air... just like any app on your iPhone or Android.

They are definitely equivocating on EV’s for all sorts of reasons. Starts and stops and questioning direction is not a good way to compete in this fast moving world. It’s also clear they were so focused on engineering driving dynamics (a really good thing) that they failed to properly...

I had it on for the first few weeks and found it pretty useless after getting used to the car in different conditions. I only put it on now if I'm doing something new or on terrain that I've not experienced before. I find the similar meter to be either distracting or pretty intuitive in the...

I got a 39 month lease. The technology in this space moves so fast that I didn't feel it was worth buying the car .. especially since it was a 'first' of it's kind. I figured by 2028, the competition would be there and Porsche would have made some progress. Given their software mess and...
