    Cayenne EV

    great post - thanks for sharing 2 charging ports 1 charging port = NACS for fast charging - NACS native and CCS via Adapter 1 charging port = J-1772 for AC (slow) charging - NACS via Adapter it's unclear from Porsche's announcements if the native NACS port is AC/DC or DC Only - I'm going to...

    The Journey of Stealth 2.0

    the only thing wrong with Porsche's these days are the prices…you sound like a well informed buyer - I'll leave you to it - LOL! :)

    The Journey of Stealth 2.0

    I too am an refugee from Taycan the move is easy and familiar you'll have zero issues…the Macan is the best choice…in my world the following things rule out the 3 alternatives you list… BMW iX3 - best of the 3 choices you mention - but not gonna do it because no air suspension choice (yet) no...

    Considering Macan EV - Tips, advice appreciated

    just because there is no OPD does NOT mean there is "modest" regen - there is plenty of regen - but only when you touch the brake pedal - there is "weak" OPD - but the Regen on all Porsche EV's is substantial and effective…it's just "invoked" differently than OPD… let's not confuse the two...

    Considering Macan EV - Tips, advice appreciated

    price aside and range aside…. nothing else on the road drives as well as the Porsche EVs - but you pay for it in $$$ and EV range if driving quality is your goal Porsche 100% if price and range are your goals you will find Porsche a difficult fit

    Considering Macan EV - Tips, advice appreciated

    unless you are prepared to over pay by significant margin - BMW iX 3 is probably what your looking for i love my Macan Turbo but its not a leading Ev in price performance - range is not embarrassing but hardly class leading - and a fully optioned trim will cost $$$ but get us a build code and...

    Porsche Invents Perpetual Motion!

    Coasting is more efficient than regen - regen is only a win if you're actually going to stop the car or intended to decelerate the vehicle… regen is no more than 55-65% efficient - i.e. you put 100 units of energy into the vehicle to get it up to speed - you may recover 60 of those units back...

    [Trip Report] - A Vacation quality drive - California Hwy 1 in Spring of 2026

    still cheaper than gas per-mile vs. 28 mpg costs for a gallon of gasoline…\ trip overall was 3.3 miles/kWh $0.61 / kwh @ 3.3 miles/kWh = $0.18 / mile Costco gas today is $6.24 @ 28 mpg is $0.22 mile… and 28 mpg is not the typical efficiency of a Macan ICE ;-) so that's a generous comparison...

    [Trip Report] - A Vacation quality drive - California Hwy 1 in Spring of 2026

    regen off - we arrived in morro-bay/slo at like 35% battery after starting at 88% percent - no range issue for that highway 1 segment given winding roads, vista points, and slower speed limits and other drivers ;-) charging options are limited between Montery and Morro Bay - although there are...

    [Trip Report] - A Vacation quality drive - California Hwy 1 in Spring of 2026

    Undeniably one of the great drives in the world is Hwy 1 on the west coast of North America. This legendary Hwy stretches from San Diego, CA all the way up to Northern most section of Washington state. One can do this drive in 2-3 days or 2-3 years given how much there is to see and do along...

    Does the 2026 Macan EVs come with 1 free year of charging at Electrify America stations?

    Macan 4 - Black with the best performance for the cheapest price

    sooo many options "missing" that I'm at a loss…sure you're keeping the price down - but also watering down the experience…I hope you enjoy it. have you considered an Audi Q6 it might be a better fit for your goals…and you'll get more value for the same or lower price point… this is not my build.

    Software letting the brand down

    i've been a Porsche victim now since my first 2008 911 4S - I've learned it's not a real fault unless it persist's for a few restarts/days… unless it's a serious fault that is clearing impacting the vechicle's operational status - I ignore "warnings" unless they persist… most of the time they...
