Can someone please explain the error in my thinking that Tesla Superchargers are the most hyped and least powerful chargers of the modern set of DCFC CPOs? 1. V3 cabinets (500VDC max) are 360kW shared across 4 units with potential site DC bus bar but still it’s 90kW per vehicle if fully...

Thanks for sharing the report, but how is the car after picking it up? Are you happy now, or maybe safer to say (for now)?

I will appreciate getting the Porsche NACS adapter so I have more options of plugs at these new CPOs that are now offering a mix of CCS and J3400/NACS handles. One of note is the BP Pulse Giga-Hub at LAX where there are 400 kW units are all NACS and the CCS units are 150 kW. It was a strange...

@daveo4EV I don’t believe I was saying that EA was the answer. As you know, I drove the Taycan for over 100,000 miles and most road trips were using Electrify America solely. Did I love it, no I wouldn’t say that. Was a successful yes for the most part. I was suggesting using thousand Volt rated...

@MyA you bring up exactly the reason I would not be using Tesla superchargers with any regularity. All currently publicly available units are 400/500 V DC maximum which means the Macan has to use its split pack technique, which has a maximum charging rate of 135 kW. Also, I don’t believe there...

And if you are in for printing your own, I found a model: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1982998-porsche-macan-ev-jack-pad

@aks The lowest suspension for PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) is “Low” and set with Sport Plus; however, realized that Sport Plus is only available if you can optioned Sport Chrono. Else you can only access Sport via the drive mode selector (steering wheel knob) which will give...

Thanks Dave, @daveo4EV Rookie- well compared to the folks I meet at cars and coffee. I think I’ll be a rookie for a few more years. :giggle: Superchargers will be a last resort. The 130kW doesn’t entice me. I already have the route planned and Hotels picked and probable charging stops...

My 2026 arrived at Emden yesterday awaiting loading onto a ship. I have the 3D camera speced. If curious, you can see the journey here https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/the-journey-of-stealth-2-0.24073/

Milestone 7: arrived at Emden on the 13th awaiting loading onto a ship then I can really track it. ;) p.s. I did get a single production picture, but it was of a raw body before any paint so I could not even recognize it as being part of my vehicle. :rolleyes:

Two comments that may help. Elsewhere folks have said that if they switched to guest mode, the home charging works. Have you tried that? If you have Sport Chrono, then you can switch to sport plus driving mode, which will also precondition the battery. But also the other folks suggestions of...

Milestone 6, protection, papers applied, and ready for transport to Emden. VIN was in the 500’s. I hope that doesn’t suggest low orders for the 2026 models. Very excited. Watched all videos I could find. 😎 Note: I seemed to have received no photos of my specific build that others have mentioned.

I will start with saying that I have a 2026 Macan 4 on order, hopefully arriving in a couple months. I did option: Phone as a Key 3D Surround View AR HUD Drive Assist (was InnoDrive) for freeways Passenger Display to allow copilot navigation and entertainment Trailer Hitch to hopefully enjoy...

I have it optioned on my 2026 Macan 4, coming in March. As the only Hardware difference appears to be the ionizer, I don’t expect any different costs for maintenance. I had opened the Ionizer on my 2020 Taycan and required no maintenance in 5 years used virtually all the time.

Could you make a slightly longer video that shows clicking on the upper right corner of the NAV screen where it has the clock and arrival percentage? It then shows details of each stop though I agree it does not seem to show any stops it may lend clarity.

FYI The Towing Capacity for all 2026 AWD variants was increased to about 5500lbs. Excerpt from the manual: I thought I had read that this was true for earlier model years as well, but I’m not able to find that reference so don’t quote me. I was not aware that there are any physical changes on...

Well I too, who has a build going for a 2026 Macan EV saw clearly the 11kW OBC but also saw lots of inconsistencies also showing a 9.6kW OBC. I wrote to the Porsche North America spokesperson, shortly after the online configurator was cleaned up showing only a 9.6 kW OBC. Earlier posts speak of...

@craz8 I had gotten my manual link by pasting a 2026 Macan 4 VIN that I found on a Porsche dealership website of an incoming car. My own car does not have a VIN assigned yet but that should be resolved by January 12 which is the build complete date target.

Thank you for pointing this out. You are correct that normal mode cannot be altered. Only other modes. I really need to get my own car :crying: Excerpt from the manual:
