Just plugged in my new Macan to the same 110 outlet that I charged my Tesla (with no issues). It won't charge at all and immediately trips the GFI outlet. Any suggestions? Why would this be different than the Tesla 110 charging?

If it’s anything like the Taycan the car is simply pulling as much power as it can hence tripping the circuit. You have to use the wall charger itself to set the available current to match the breaker.

in the Taycan at least there is no way of setting the maximum current draw

If I’m charging off an outlet 220 or 110 I always look at the breaker max for that circuit and set my portable charger to draw a couple of amps below that to ensure that it doesn’t trip and then stop charger while I’m asleep.

not enough info

what EV charger are you using
what power supply cable/plug are you using on the EVSE
and what does the car show inside the car before the breaker trips
