    [Thoughts] - Macan 4 Loaner vs. Macan Turbo EV (owned)

    2021 Cayenne TurboS eHybrid returned with new battery cells - full power restored!!! all covered under warranty - time in service less than 4 weeks - nothing to complain about… vehicle can now climb the hill entering my neighborhood purely on EV power like it used to be able to do - new...

    2026 GTS vs 2024 Turbo

    those peak numbers are only available under launch control - owners of Taycan that have driven both turbo and gts versions confirm there is not much difference in normal driving scenarios or any road legal circumstances or even extra legal circumstances i’ll stand by my assertion but fully...

    Plug & Charge now available for Tesla Superchargers via Porsche Charging Service

    they do not appear to be "separate" certs - I have just the one and my 2024 Macan Turbo EV supports plug&charge at: EA V3/V4 Tesla superchargers billing is via the Porsche charging service… it does not appear to be a "multi-cert" solution - exactly _HOW_ Porsche is supporting plug&charge at...

    Porsche dealer wants piles of money to fit dashcam - yet it's pre-wired?

    cost wouldn’t matter if it was any good but it’s crap!

    Porsche dealer wants piles of money to fit dashcam - yet it's pre-wired?

    I have the Porsche dash cam on my 2023 911 GT3 - installed by Porsche dealer (front and rear) with a pre-wiring kit - it cost similar amounts of money to install in a 911… conclusion: it's a barely adequate dash cam and not the best product… I rate it only slightly better than I consider...

    [Thoughts] - Macan 4 Loaner vs. Macan Turbo EV (owned)

    following up on this…I'll be returning my lovely Macan 4 loaner - next week - much sooner than I would've guessed (but I'm glad it's getting taken care of)… at 43,xxx miles (21, xxx miles of EV miles) on my 2021 Cayenne TurboS eHybrid - and about 4 years 9 months it turns out my entire HV...

    2026 GTS vs 2024 Turbo

    it's unlikley 2026 MY Macan EV's have not benefited from a wide range of "improvements" most of which will never be disclosed, but always come out over time as Porsche learns from the previous 2 years and makes production changes and tweaks to improve the product…

    2026 GTS vs 2024 Turbo

    GTS is 2 years "newer" than the 2024 - Porsche always makes minor and un-announced tweaks to their vehicles normal release cycle pattern is - 8 years - with .1 and .2 version of hte "same" generation product 2024/2025 model year mostly the same 2026/2027 new trim levels, minor...

    2026 GTS vs 2024 Turbo

    both are "over powered" and you can't use their full potential on normal streets - I'd go with the better options package personally… see my comparision of my Loaner 4 vs my Personal Turbo - https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/thoughts-macan-4-loaner-vs-macan-turbo-ev-owned.24721/...

    Power Steering Plus - anyone optioned

    North American Turbo's come with it standard so I have it on my 2024 Macan Turbo EV…and just checking now it's also standard on Macan 4 EV…hmmm -standard on all Macan's in North America. I'm not sure I could tell the difference...but I doubt it's enough money to matter when optioning an $80K + EV

    2026 Software Update via Dealer - What does it do exactly?

    my prediction no "meaningful" OTA updates (anything beyond PCM) for current generation Macan EV's - maybe with a 2028 .2 refresh - but even that I give low odds to - the next full generation of Macan EV (if there is one) will have greater OTA capabilities… my $0.02 worth…

    2026 Software Update via Dealer - What does it do exactly?

    and people wonder why Porsche doesn't have OTA updates…I'm reading the first few pages of the updates instructions posted on this thread… you need the vehicle on a 90 amp 12V charger during the update process (1 kW power supply - seems about right to run all the on board electronics during...

    2026 Software Update via Dealer - What does it do exactly?

    release notes would be nice - you know the sorts of things that software has come with for 40+ years…
