  1. Front door sill plate protection ? - 2026 Macan EV

    Pick your feet up and lift OVER them rather than dragging a foot across them. This really is the only and best way. Due to the sill plates being brushed the finish is actually pretty resistant to damage compared to the highly polished sill plates in many vehicles.
  2. First maintenance service after two years

    Cabin filter is certainly a DIY item. If you have the means and knowledge to get the vehicle in the air and pull wheels off the brake fluid change is also a reasonable DIY project (you can make it happen easily with a Motive Power Bleeder). When the wheels are off it's a great time to detail...
  3. Software update. What shall I do?

    I have a 2025 Macan 4 that has been flawless. I am deferring on the upgrade - I prefer to let Porsche "learn" on someone else's vehicle.
  4. MY2026 loaner impressions

    I think Porsche was a bit "under pressure" to get into the market with the Macan EV since it had already been delayed several years (2 at least). My wife and I had a 2018 Macan ICE that we loved - I wanted the Macan EV which I think was initially supposed to be marketed as a 2021 or 2022...
  5. MY2026 loaner impressions

    All good manufacturers will continue to refine a vehicle based on what has been learned from prior models. It can seem a bit disappointing when you see improvements after only a few years but it's just how the system works - when developing a new vehicle a relatively limited number of test...
  6. Car wash precautions

    Have to agree with comment to NOT use autowash and do it yourself. Car wash will eventually kill paint. Brushes/pads abrade paint. Brushless car wash? They use harsh chemicals to clean. It's all in how you want your vehicle to look - if you can live with a 20 footer thn do whatever you...
  7. So happy with range on first long trip

    Absolutely. We love ours - we had an original Audi e-Tron and the range of the Macan is SO much better.
  8. Is Dolomite Silver the best color for masking dirt and dust?

    Here is a GT Silver Cayman I used to own - this pic shows the "warm tones" that GT Silver can have.
  9. Is Dolomite Silver the best color for masking dirt and dust?

    Dolomite Silver is a cooler silver with blue tones. GT Silver is a warmer color - in certain lights it takes on a bronze character.
  10. Is Dolomite Silver the best color for masking dirt and dust?

    A quality ceramic coating is ALWAYS a great idea - the downside is the cost that most vendors ask to provide it. There is an alternative - do it yourself. It isn't that difficult - especially on a new vehicle since the paint prep steps should be minimized. You'll likely spend close to a day...
  11. Race-Tex vs Leather on Macan EV GTS (Daily Driver) – What would you choose?

    agree 100% with comment directly above - RaceTex for appearance (non-tactile) areas only. "Suede" shows wear.
  12. GTS delayed

    This is fairly common for ordered vehicles from Porsche (ANY model). Supply chain of materials and logistic / shipping issues are the usual reasons.
  13. Issues Getting Parts for Bodywork Repairs

    One last comment - some of the hardest vehicles to obtain collision repair parts for are fairly new vehicles that are still currently in production. Inventory goes to production of new vehicles - collision repair is a secondary concern.
  14. Issues Getting Parts for Bodywork Repairs

    Not sure I'd call that minor damage - the fender ("wing") is displaced upward meaning that whatever it is fastened to is damaged / displaced. The surface appearance in damage like this rarely declares the totality of the damage. If the fender tagged the hood then that will also need paint...
  15. Any discounts on MSRP for US custom orders?

    The first factory scheduled service is at 2 years and then every 2 years after that - not 1 year. So did you really get anything extra regarding service??
  16. 2024/2025 CPO Questions

    1. A 2024/2025 CPO vehicle may have anywhere from a few hundred miles up to 10s of thousands of miles and everything in between. CPO means Certifed Pre-Owned - so the vehicle will have to pass certain conditions regarding condition, maintenance, etc to earn that designation. They are...
  17. 2026 Rivian R2 Pricing, Range, Specs & Reviews

    Still looks like a toaster.
  18. Comfort Vs Sports seats

    You really need to sit in them to decide. As noted previously - unless you are "trim" you may find the 18 way seats constricting and actually uncomfortable. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the 14 way seats - if I had to order a seat without ever sitting in them I would get the 14 way...
  19. What’s the ONE piece of advice you’d give to a new Macan owner?

    My one piece of advice is to take all of the charging speed and range marketing with a grain of salt. This is not only for the Macan but ANY EV. I live in a climate where the summer temps easily hit 100 F and the winter temps (straight temp, not wind chill) typically hit 10-15 below F. At the...
  20. Key fob icons wearing off after only 1 year

    What else do you have in your pocket - that thing looks beat!
