No. Please see the link I added to my previous post. Enough current is sent to the front motor to drive the front axle at the vehicle speed. There is no such thing as "spinning freely" with a clutch-less permanent magnet motor axle. When the magnet is spun within the electrical windings of the...

You’re assuming that the graphic is an accurate representation of the current distribution. The motor for the front axle must always receive current while driving, since it is a permanent magnet motor and there is no clutch to disconnect the motor from the axle. Most of the current may be...

The heated windshield doesn’t make any practical difference in signal strength. The Sport Chrono package adds the Sport+ drive mode, which is slightly faster in acceleration. I have measured the 0-60 times using a Vbox...

He’s coming from a Tesla Model X Plaid, the Macan EV Base will feel very slow in comparison.

Those are not on the Macan EV. As pm4s noted, the LED Matrix headlights in the Macan EV have 84 elements. https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/press-kits/the-new-porsche-macan/Licht--und-Assistenzsysteme.html

That is just wrong. The Macan EV uses permanent magnet motors, and unless they are receiving current, they act as generators and are producing a braking force. Most of the braking force always comes from the front axle, therefore in a 4/4S/GTS/Turbo the front motor is regenerating more than the...

If have RS Spyders in Turbonite, and because the Macan EV uses regenerative braking most of the time the wheels don’t collect all of the brake dust that they would with an ICE car. The wheels stay remarkably clean. I still have IronX from my previous car but it really isn’t needed. Don’t be...

In my opinion the insulated glass' primary benefit is the heat rejection if you're in a hot and sunny climate, and you can get similar benefits from an aftermarket tint. It doesn't make much of a difference with road noise while driving since that largely originates from the tires and is...

I am indeed. Please PM me with a date and time that works for you, I am available from the 26th through the 31st with the exception of the morning of the 27th.

@surfcitydermatology if your dealer doesn't have a Macan EV with a Burmester that you can listen to I could meet you somewhere so you can play your favorite tracks in my car.

I have the heated windshield as well, and as I stated earlier my AT&T cell phone works just fine with it. Cell phone performance should not keep you from adding it to your build. And the heated windshield has been genuinely useful even in SoCal. Having four people that are wet with rain get in...

I have the 22" RS Spyder wheels. When making my wheel choice I valued appearance more than ride comfort, for which a 21" wheel would be better. Porsche offers a 21" RS Spyder for the Cayenne EV -- they should bring it to the Macan EV as well, it would have been my choice. On a side note, I had...

I have the Thermally & Noise Insulated Glass as well as the Burmester sound system. While the glass likely does affect the cellular signal somewhat, I haven't noticed any problems resulting from that. In the areas I frequent, my AT&T cell phone has continued to work just fine. I have been...

I have a November 24 build, February 25 delivery. I can't hear my relay.

The welcome packet probably came from the dealer and not Porsche.
