I haven't test driven one yet, but I heard the audi e-tron models use the paddle shifters to control regen strength. I thought this was a brilliant idea because that's what I do now in my ice cars to downshift and engine brake

Have you tried long pressing the voice button on the left side of the steering wheel?

No sensor for that unfortunately. It opens to a set default height. But you can adjust the default height by manually moving the tailgate to the right position and then holding the open button for 3 seconds until it chimes. Then the next time you open it it will go to the new height and not hit...

I didn't know the interior handle was electric. This is a bit concerning. How do you open the door in the event of a crash or power loss?

In older Porsches, you'd use the physical key to open the driver's door, then climb into the footwell to open the fuse panel and pull out the positive terminal for the emergency frunk release. Then you'd have to find nearby chassis ground point that your cables could reach (which was difficult...

Looks like the silver material could be sound deadener (eg Dynamat)

Thanks for sharing your experience! I have Blackvue cameras in all my cars and have done about 5 installs for friends and family, so it's good to see tips for the macan. I like the blackvue products, so I'll probably stick with it. Good call with the SD card. I had a blackvue card die on me...

Congrats! I'm curious about ordering from across the country. Did you work directly with the dealer 3k miles away or did you go through your local dealer to have it transfered between dealers. Did the dealer arrange for the covered transport for you?

Sorry for being slow, but I'm not sure what the goal of this is. So would it be that when you use the car, you would get your phone, launch the app, unlock the car from the app, then get into the car, remove the key from the faraday bag, and start the car and drive off? Then when you park...

This is the best demonstration/explanation of the trunk kicking that I have seen online so far (skip to 7:51ish):
