    2025 Macan 4S Lease Transfer

    Howdy yall! Well, I've really enjoyed my Macan but family is changing (for the better) and we need a 3rd row. The Macan has to go! This is a beautiful spec vehicle and I've had ZERO issues with it. It is currently at just under 20k miles and located in Seattle, WA. I will cover delivery to...

    Brutal (or honest?) review of the Macan Ev

    I went directly from a Taycan 4S to a Taycan Turbo S. What materials are all of yall talking about exactly? With leather speccd interior there's nothing that jumps out to me as inferior to the Taycan Turbo S. People keep saying "oh the materials" but.. what materials exactly????? I feel like...

    2024 Macan 4S EV Review (after almost 15k miles)

    You'll see with the wiper jets. They basically just shoot water over the roof. Also never a problem I've had before. No back issues but I am notoriously picky on seats. I have very broad shoulders (like freakishly so) and it causes problem with more contoured seats. But the problem seems more...

    Bose sound system not quite up to snuff?

    This is nonsense and there's no point reading anything else you wrote. You don't like it. Cool. But don't make outrageous bogus patently false statements. The only system I've experienced in a similar cost car that was notably better is the upgraded system in the BMW iX. The eMacan Bose is in...

    Range - again

    I have 15k miles on my 4S with 20" wheels. With true highway driving, mostly cruise control locked 74mph and 82 mph, I was getting 215 to 230 in mild winter conditions and am getting 260-280 in spring/mild summer conditions. Anyone getting these 300+mi range estimates isn't doing pure highway...

    2024 Macan 4S EV Review (after almost 15k miles)

    Howdy ya'll. So I'm almost 15k miles into my eMacan 4S. Wanted to give a quick pros/cons. Overall I'm happy with the car, but not as in love with it as I was my 1st Taycan. That's the tradeoff for a car that's MUCH easier to live with and far more practical, though. Pros; -Literally zero...

    Latest OutofSpec Dave review - not good

    @OutofSpecDave do you think we're all fools? I'm sorry but your responses on here seem to imply none of us have seen or read car reviews before. Maybe you haven't? Because objective ones don't sound like yours. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt but enough is enough. Your content is...

    2025 model year changeover?

    I doubt there will be any significant MY26 changes. Maybe they offer a couple new colors, but that's probably the extent of it. MY26 likely won't be produced until October at the earliest, with a MY26 configurator not shown until just before then.

    Turbo arrives next week - serious concerns

    I've had exactly zero issues 5k miles in. Less range then I hoped but car is flawless. Had to do one factory reset (account didn't set up correctly, think due to a spotty connection) but software has been perfect since. I do think depreciation is going to be abysmal.

    Bose Speaker Upgrade?

    I think some others have noted, the Bose on the eMacan seems to really settle in after a few thousand miles. Mine was not great to start but has really come around. Like from a 5/10 to an 8/10. Calls had an echo quality to them at first, but crystal clear now. Started off worse than my Taycan...

    Serious Design Flaw - No easy access to vehicle if 12v battery is very low

    It takes 5 minutes max to jump a dead 12v on a Taycan or electric Macan. On a Taycan you just zap the hood latch circuit on the driver's side left of the brake pedal, then you just zap the battery. Easier on the Macan. Any tow driver should know how to do it or you can carry a $50 starter with...

    Any regrets / do-over wishes for your Macan EV specs? …”No Ragrets? Not even a single letter?” …

    I'd get the 14 ways instead of the 18, but no massage function. The 18 don't have adjustable headrests and with broad shoulders the top portion is uncomfortable for me. Biggest disappointment on the car. The ICE Macan 18 ways were fantastic, the Taycan 14s were okay, sad to see these be a...

    West Coast US vs Panama Question

    It has multiple stops along the way. You're seeing it's next destination, not final destination.

    2,000 miles - The Good, The Bad

    I also have had zero issues without the rear wipers, honestly never even considered it until I read this post. I've taken it on a couple of ski trips where it's been absolutely doused in mud/dirt/grime and zero issues without the rear wipers. As above, the front wipers & jets are horrible...

    Buying vs leasing (and possibly buying then): my numbers

    I checked today. If I buy after one month of leasing, it'd save me about $5,850 over having paid cash day 1. FWIW. This will likely drop by about $500 per month.

    Where is this Porsche dealer premium experience that I keep hearing about?

    Porsche is notorious for some of the worst dealerships and sales associates in the industry. As mentioned above, they just assume the car sells itself and you're lucky to even get a moment of their time.

    2,000 miles - The Good, The Bad

    My biggest issues with the car. -Windshield wiper jets are positioned horribly. Not sure if they can be adjusted by service? -The sun visors really should extend, but I know Porsche thinks it's a cute "supercar" thing -Range really should be a bit better, like consistently 30-50 miles more...

    Buying vs leasing (and possibly buying then): my numbers

    .0043 includes a dealer markup. Should be around 0035 to 0039 Ask them if they're quoting you the PFS buy rate money factor or adding a dealer markup. If they say the former, ask them to put it in writing so you can confirm with PFS.

    Who are the former Taycan owners who switched to the Macan EV?

    Most of the above is true. The eMacan is far more practical, the Taycan sedan is better looking and drives better. You get a lot more space with the Macan. I personally find the Turismo Taycans dreadful to look at, but the sedans are a thing of beauty. Sedan vs Macan and you're getting a...

    How much phantom drain do you experience?

    No, it can't. The 12V is the weakest link in the EV chain. I would recommend having it on a battery tender if gone that long, or have someone start the car and sit in it for 15 minutes once a week.
