I thought I’d share my 3 month Macan 4 experience
The Macan 4 is plenty fast as my daily driver, faster than the AMG it replaced. The extra 20 miles range vs 4S enables some frequent round trips without charging. Love the smooth power delivery and low end torque of electric. My range...
I had random issues with Digital Key and CarPlay reliability. Everything resolved when I revoked my wife’s digital key, leaving just mine active. I’m thinking that is maybe an Apple thing more than a Porsche thing. Only 2000 miles in, but so far so good.
2027 is really the third year. The 2024 models weren’t revealed/orderable until Jan 2024 and delivered in the second half of that year, almost when you’d expect the first 2025 MY cars to hit. 2026 had a few tweaks over 24/25 wrt minor option changes, addressing a few “first year” 24/25 issues...
IMO the way the interior integrates physical tactile controls with digital is genius, and probably going to be copied (at least I hope so) for years to come. That was the right place to use Ives as he is a user experience genius.
I’m not as negative as others on the exterior, but there’s no...
I have a 4 with the compass and I still have a Sport Plus option. When I spin the knob, I can only select Normal/Sport/Offroad but, when I do, it displays all the modes on the PCM and I can select Sport Plus from there.
Please post a photo of that interior when you get it. I speced black/beige and went back / forth on whether to get black seat centers. In the end I didn’t, but still think about it.
I went with Aventerine Green + black/beige. I added the option to cover the center surround so I would not see hard black plastic, it has cool stitching and the interior feels more premium. I like it fine so far.
I considered Frozen Blue. I also am not an all-black interior guy, but with...
It did not sound like a fan. It was a pronounced vibration you could feel when touching the car. It went on the moment I plugged in, before there could be any heat.
I do have air suspension. And, now that you mention it, I recently enabled the feature to lift the suspension when approaching my house due to my driveway. Maybe the sound of an air compressor lifting my car now that I plugged in?
This morning I plugged my L2 charger into my Macan (US driver side) and heard a continuous heavy vibration sound coming from the area of the socket. I opened the trunk to verify. The car reported it was charging at 9.3 while this was happening. Unplugging or even just pressing the release...
