  1. Gripes 6mo into ownership

    I am right there with you. I took my 4S in because it was not connecting to porsche connect and not allowing me to log into my vehicle. I received a brand new loaner Macan ICE. When I first sat in it I was shocked at how dated everything looked. The ICE driving dynamics were also jarring...
  2. What Was Your Father's Old Car?

    Looking back, my dad had pretty practical taste. Subaru and Toyota fan. However, he did own a Mercur Xr4ti which he handed down to me when I turned 16. I remember it being fun to drive and I felt very cool driving a turbo hatchback at the time. Alas, it had problems and only lasted me a few years.
  3. The 14-way and 18-way seats really don't suit tall drivers

    Honestly, they are probably just fine. For me, decisions on most of these things are knowing I didn't get the "best" and "fear of missing out". However, after a few months, most of that anxiety goes away.
  4. The 14-way and 18-way seats really don't suit tall drivers

    I'm 6'5 and about 200 lbs. Generally thinner frame. I got the 14 way seats because no massage function was a deal breaker for my wife. I think initially I was overthinking the seats and trying to "feel" any potential problems with them, but after 3 months I think they are great. No...
  5. Did I blow it by not ordering the HUD?

    If you generally don't like a HUD, then there is no particular reason to get the Porsche HUD. I personally wouldn't option a vehicle without it at this point because I'm so used to them now, but in my opinion the Porsche HUD is as good and useful as most others. I find the artificial reality...
  6. Matrix headlights on Macan 4S 2025

    Interesting. If that's happening I see none of that with my vehicle so either its very subtle or I've got faulty lights. I'll look closely next time I'm driving at night.
  7. Matrix headlights on Macan 4S 2025

    Based on my experience with a Volvo XC90 (I believe it was a 2018) and a 2021 Mercedes GLS, the Porsche matrix headlights absolutely are not as good as either. Very basic auto high beam which is just table stakes in pretty much any vehicle now. If I'm going to pay a premium, at least give me a...
  8. Intermittent Connectivity Issues with Macan EV Turbo – Anyone Else Experiencing This?

    I had this issue recently. When connected to car play I was no longer getting a data connection. I did not do a factor reset but just deleted my phone connection (from both the device menu in pcm and also Bluetooth on my phone). Then I repaired my phone to the car. Connection and data now works...
  9. Change “Goodbye” message?

    I do my best…. Just a little fun. Nothing to get upset about. Have a good one and I hope you figure out a solution to your problem.
  10. Change “Goodbye” message?

    :oops: My wife is actually named Jane, and I had a dog named Ginger when I was a kid. I hope you have not cursed me!
  11. Change “Goodbye” message?

    I do find it a little funny thinking someone is actually reading that warning in its entirety every time they leave the car. Is it really going to help me remember to grab my phone? If one replaces the text, will there be an increase in the number of people left trapped in the back seat of the...
  12. Range - again

    I know everyone’s needs are different, but personally I’ve stopped worrying about my max range and average consumption. Turned off the widgets on my dash to give me efficiency feedback, regen impact, etc. I found it was impacting my enjoyment of just driving the vehicle. After the first couple...
  13. Many Unsold New / Used Macan EV’s Listed on Porsche Site

    I know at least at my local dealer, they displayed my custom order as part of their available inventory before I had picked it up. I wouldn’t put much stock in inventory we see in online searches.
  14. Teeny tiny sun visor solutions?

    It’s super easy for you to just ignore this thread if it pains you
  15. Teeny tiny sun visor solutions?

    Don’t sweat it. There are a few on this forum that take particular joy in playing gotcha with the condescending “search is your friend” response within 30 minutes of a new thread being created. If that’s the game we were all going to play then AI could just take care of every macan ev question...
