Macan EV Owners Now Recommended Options (Pros & Cons)?

[Hutchie]

1. PRICE NEGOITATION: Firstly, how many new owners shopped around with various dealers for the best price? How successful were you in finding better deals or is the price mainly the price?

2. POWER/MODEL: My sense is that the Macan 4 will be enough power for the average 'non racing car driver', especially once the novelty of the EV starts has worn off. Thoughts?

3. EV WHEELS/TIRES: What is the best wheel size to strike the balance between everyday driving comfort vs performance vs replacement durability? I like the look of the 22inch wheels but is the sacrifice in ride and regular replacement too much? Is the 21inch wheel option a better compromise? Do you always need EV specific tires? How many miles should I expect before replacing tires?

Many thanks in advance for your responses

1. On a base Macan, maybe. On a Turbo, given the few allocations out there, doubt you’ll get any discount from anyone.

2. I’m only a “amateur race car driver wannabe” and the 4 doesn’t work for me. The 4S should be ok, the Turbo is what I’m getting.
The EV effect won’t wear off on me, been driving them for years and I want my speed - especially if I’m buying a Porsche. But I totally get that a “soccer mom” (to use the same type of stereotype as you ) would be content with a base 4.

3. For comfort go with 20”. For a balance of comfort with sportiness go with 21”. As for the miles you’ll put on either, will depend on too many factors - including driving style.

Thanks for your thoughts

i've been to two different dealerships, and they aren't trying to give anything off the car. They expect MSRP.
I had one dealership offer the rubber floor mats for free....The other were willing to give me the Rear steering for "free" if i leased...But since i've decided against the lease, i don't think it's on the table...

4S for a good balance of power and price...

I don't know about how the size could effect range/ride quality...so my plan is to shoot the middle and get 21's. Others on here have said the 22's were pretty rough.... the crazy part, is, i find it hard to tell the different sizes apart from just lookin at them

For the range you can see in the Technical data in the configurator.
From 20 to 21 you lose about 40 km of range

i don't see range in the technical data section...?

Try other than the USA configurator. For example the UK one.

Not available in the US/CAN configurators. As suggested, try Porsche UK, France, etc.

The US is so backward, compared to the rest of the world
