    New software version coming week 36 of 2025

    I may be in the minority here, but I am less concerned with a sw update to address minor annoyances that I’ve learned to live with, than I am about a sw update overwriting my settings and preferences that have taken some time to arrange. Given Porsche’s proven relative immaturity with sw in...

    Doug DeMuro's Macan Turbo Electric EV Review

    Doug is definitely an acquired taste, but he usually gets the major points right. He missed some smaller points like the cooled phone charger and the lack of harsh regen that maintains the enthusiast driving experience, but otherwise makes a fairly positive review. His subjective scores are a...

    Latest OutofSpec Dave review - not good

    I apologize for use of the incendiary adjective. However, I stand by the comments that negative reviews tend to generate more interaction and views than positive Reviews, which is why there are so many more negative reviews (of almost any car) on YT. I get that as someone who makes money from...

    Latest OutofSpec Dave review - not good

    social media influencers are all about getting clicks and engagement. Negative reviews tend to get more views which means more $$$/£££/€€€ for the originator. just reading a few of the comments here tells me all I have to know about the video—no need to further line the pockets of this...

    Porsche commitment in EV market, are we going to be left behind ?

    Pretty much all of the glitches I’ve read about or experienced myself (e.g. intermittently no sound from head unit) are software related. With the exception of those few unlucky souls who’ve had charging issues, very few problems thus far are attributable to hardware. The car just works like...

    Loaded 4S or lean Turbo?

    Looks great w the Macan Design wheels, too! I just picked up a set of those cheap on eBay (Cali driver put only 50 miles on them before swapping for some custom aftermarket wheels) to serve as my seasonal tire swap. Off road Design for winter and Macan Design for summer—best of both worlds!

    Is NTX to Aspen do-able? How much of a pain is it to find chargers along the way?

    I live in CO. Once you get north of Walsenburg, CO, you should have no problems finding charging infrastructure. Check EA’s website for specific locations. When you do receive the car, program the Nav to take you to Aspen and the software should program a route for you that includes all...

    Tyre Pressure Monitoring System same as other Porsches?

    According to Porsche dealer the part number for the TPMS for the Macan EV is 95C-907-255-A. It appears to be shared with several other VW group cars that have the part number 95C-907-255, but I can’t find a definitive source that tells me if the A on the end of the part number is compatible...

    Any Southwest Macan Owners?

    Colorado and sometimes Arizona. Kind of both looking forward to, and dreading, our first road-trip from Colo Springs to Tucson!

    Loaded 4S or lean Turbo?

    In your configurations, the Aventurine Green 4S looks special. The black Turbo does not. Change the Turbo color to green and you’ve got a winner for almost exactly the same price! BTW, I have the off-road design wheels and think they look great! Wheels, like color, are a very personal choice...

    Lane keeping

    Ok, so I get using ALK in low speed stop’n’go traffic which can otherwise be quite tiring, but if you’re relying on it or LKA at any other time, I think you need to learn to be a better driver. First thing I did was turn that crap off permanently.

    One-pedal driving

    That sounds like an ideal design on the Audi. Hopefully someone at Porsche will see this and take note! Lol

    One-pedal driving

    Interesting that’s the way it works because it sure doesn’t feel like that. Light application of the brake pedal while driving downhill feels like light application of the brake hardware to me. Maybe that is the genius of Porsche and why I like this car so much—it FEELS like a Porsche should...

    One-pedal driving

    I’ll put you down for a ā€œhalfway between A and Bā€ LOL :)

    LOL. Sounds like answer C to me! :)

    One-pedal driving

    Going downhill and frequently riding the brakes will glaze your rotors and lead to noisy/squealing brakes. Not the worst thing in the world, but something I’d prefer to avoid. Also, in snowy or slippery conditions, it’s much better to use engine braking (or the regen equivalent) than to...

    BMW M5 Touring (G99 wagon) vs Macan Turbo Electric

    Definitely a first world dilemma! :)

    BMW M5 Touring (G99 wagon) vs Macan Turbo Electric

    Appreciate your insights, but IMHO your initial statement about Apples and Oranges rings truer than you might think. These cars are in completely different classes. Yes, they can both haul people and stuff, and they have similar costs, but that’s about it. Compact SUVs can also haul stuff and...

    One-pedal driving

    One of The reasons I like our Macan is that is feels much more like a normal enthusiastā€˜s car. With ā€thrust recuperationā€ off, using the accelerator makes the car go and lifting off it makes the car coast. Using the brakes makes the car slow down (and also regenerates some energy into the...

    [Update] so far so good - 4484 miles

    I guess ā€œDisappointmentā€ probably means different things to different people. Sure, I was ā€œdisappointedā€ that my Cayenne Turbo S did not get 20 mpg on the highway, but that did absolutely nothing to diminish my enjoyment or affinity for the vehicle. I might feel differently if the Macan were...
