Delivery Day: First Impressions of White Macan 4 EV

[CandianPorsche83]

One more delivery day detail:

Funny story (at least in retrospect). On the drive home from delivery. I tried to adjust the side view mirrors and accidentally folded them with the folding mirror switch. I didn’t know to look for such a switch and could not solve the problem until I got home. I’ll classify it as comic misadventures, but if I had sideswiped someone, it would have been something else. That switch should require a long press because it is too easy to accidentally activate and not a feature many will ever want or need to use.

lol Where exactly is the folding mirror switch?

I can tell you that it's useful to have it also in "Motion" but maybe only in the narrow Italian road

Agreed.
But we in the UK feel disappointed you left us out in narrow roads category

 

[Diego]

You are right but when I'm in the UK I pay attention to stay on the right side of the road

Left side actually.

 

[Diego]

Left side actually.

Yes the right side is the left side in the UK

I second this, just got back from pounding a 5 series all around Portugal for a couple weeks, mirror retraction is needed occasionally as some roads and walls require sub inch clearance when passing other vehicles and road users.

Send me a message the next time you are in Portugal. I would be happy to help with your trip planning.

Lucky you!! My delivery date was pushed back several times, stuck in the port and told it was being held due to two campaigns that would need to be resolved either at the port, or at the dealership when it arrives.

I’ve been increasingly impatient since, knowing it’s “here” but I can’t touch it. So I went to go test drive them..

The experience was a little bitter sweet for me… the vehicle they had to test drive felt “cheap” to me and makes me a bit nervous. Albeit, my customizations are very different, and may look better I’m still a bit nervous about my order…

The drive, excellent. I can see why they say it’s fun to drive, it is. It absolutely is. But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit the ones I saw left me a bit underwhelmed…

Hi,
What was the config you tested that felt cheap?

Each Macan is different and reflects the owners priorities. Make sure that yours is optioned with what is important to you. Also, there are plenty of EVs out there if one suits you better, but I’m quite happy with the car delivered to me.
