    FitcamX dashcam. Anybody installed one?

    I just tried the installation and the connectors don't match! The car has a 8-pin connector while the camera has a 3 pin. Did any of you had this issue? I have written to support, waiting to hear back.

    [US Only] Optimizing EV Ownership: My Macan 4S Lease-to-Buy Story

    Thank you for a thoughtful response. Leasing has always worked better for folks who like to keep the car for a short period of time and I think that holds true for EVs as well. While the depreciation hit is definitely higher for EVs, I also can't imagine getting almost 15% off out of door price...

    [US Only] Optimizing EV Ownership: My Macan 4S Lease-to-Buy Story

    You are mistaking the new car EV tax credit with the EV lease credit. Unlike the tax credit, which is given to an individual and has certain income qualification criteria, the EV lease credit is given to the manufacturer. Most manufactuers decided to pass on this benefit to the consumer, and...

    [US Only] Optimizing EV Ownership: My Macan 4S Lease-to-Buy Story

    Yeah,we pay no income tax but sales tax is pretty high and almost everything is taxed (Gas is one of the most expensive in the nation despite being closest to Alaska). Atleast, unlike some other states, when leasing - you only pay tax on the lease amount.

    [US Only] Optimizing EV Ownership: My Macan 4S Lease-to-Buy Story

    This isn’t my first EV, but it’s the first time I’ve had to get creative to unlock the full tax benefit. I recently leased and then bought a Porsche Macan EV—not because I enjoy paperwork, but because that’s the only way to take advantage of the $7,500 federal EV credit on this car. The process...

    (Yet) Another Macan 4S review

    Cheaper and faster to buy off dealer lots directly. In my case, I got a total of 17% off including the EV rebates off the MSRP. Some dealers are offering discounts on ordering too, but its lesser and there's too much uncertainty around tariffs.

    (Yet) Another Macan 4S review

    Thanks for better photos. To be perfectly clear, the photo wasn't meant to distort but simply as a representation of the difference in texture - it isn't thick, nor have I alluded to it being thick - its just the texture that I don't like! Its more grippy, but I am just not liking that texture...

    Electrical Parking Brake error

    Wanted to provide an update and close the thread for anyone seeing this in future. The issue here was that with all the jumping on the trailer, the sensors needed a re-formatting. The dealer was able to fix it within couple of hours and all errors are gone! So, if you are buying out-of-state and...

    Yeah, I really like the 21" offroads, and they are a great compromise on range/ride/looks. What color you thinking?

    (Yet) Another Macan 4S review

    Just got our Macan 4S couple of weeks back, and after contemplating for a while if I should do a review, I thought why not - maybe it has some elements which interests others. Lets do a FAQ style review! What's the config? Pretty Basic for a 4S ($94.8K MSRP) Jet Black 20" Macan S Wheels...

    How much depreciation are lease deals showing?

    I had actually talked to couple of dealers in March and at the time, residual was set at 56% for the 4S (39/10k). Every month the residual is revised by PFS! Also, residual is set at MSRP and not at gross cap cost, and is by trim rather than options.

    Electrical Parking Brake error

    I just received my Macan 4S couple of days back. It was transported from a dealership in South US. When it was being loaded, I was sent a video by the dealeship at load time and the car was absolutely fine. When it got unloaded from the truck here - I am seeing this error with electrical parking...

    Many Unsold New / Used Macan EV’s Listed on Porsche Site

    So I just bought my Macan 4S and extensively searched for cars across the US, looking for a good deal. I talked to about 6 dealers in 6 different states - ultimately going with a dealer in South US. Yes, there are tons of cars on the finder which are actually sold - but even then, there's a...

    Article: Macan 4S vs. Taycan 4 Cross Turismo compared: Which is the Better Electric Car? [Downtown Magazine]

    This was a very good read - and spot on observations! In all honesty, I wouldn't want to spend north of $1k/month on a car that can leave me stranded on the side of the road or one which could sit at the dealer for months - and that rules out the previous gen and current gen Taycan's for me...
