looks fantastic! almost has that bare metal look - kinda like a delorean or cybertruck, but not fugly :)

iirc, this was in issue with the early Taycan until a software update allowed the HV battery to charge the 12V battery while parked as needed. Wishful thinking that a software update is all that is needed to prevent 12v discharge on the Macans? I've left my '23 Taycan gts parked for nearly 3...

What kind of 12V battery is in the Macan electric? I suppose it can vary by market like how 992 were equipped with either AGM or LiPo batteries depending on market/options at some point. 2.5 weeks is awfully short-lived for an AGM battery, so must be LiPo installed in your car?\ Either way...

It's 71.5mm, just like its PPE cousins, the Audi Q6/SQ6 etron

Placed order today. Was given the option to wait for the first 2026, but will likely just get 2025, no real changes expected for 2026…. still have time to waffle between :) https://porsche-code.com/PSN5HVX2

I quite liked the Turbo's throttle-induced oversteer. I think the 4S can do this too when equipped with PTV+ but it seemed much easier to do on the Turbo based on my test-drives. I liked that playfulness about it and together with the added exterior styling cues, turbonite badge, and...

Ah, the batman build. Very nice! Only critique I have is that I think batman would also choose the black brake calipers along with the black lighting add-ons, but I'm guessing you're not really batman and like the rest of us non-batmans, a little contrast with the red calipers look great as is.

Anyone else here who has taken delivery of a recent build of a US-spec car with tow package confirm such changes were made with regards this black-painted bar behind the tow hitch? I suppose if I add it to my build and it's not black, I can always just paint it myself.

Nice build. Standard 4S wheels look great with oak green and probably one of the best wheel options for efficiency/range not to mention ride comfort. Also, I could be wrong but since the roof rails will be dark grey to go along with the off-road package bits, maybe window trim in black would...

Good idea - I don’t see why it would be a problem. Try photoshopping it on various configurator views to see how it looks. Might work better if you’ve also spec’d gloss black window trim, etc.

Does the Macan EV have different battery chemistry/tech than the Taycan? From my experience, cold weather has had minimal impact on range with Taycan 1st gen at least compared to Tesla, etc.

Glad the Bose sound quality has improved for you. I've experienced the same thing with the Bose in my 3yo Taycan GTS - I felt the Bose was hot garbage when I took delivery and did a number of tweaks on PCM settings to make it sound better but still bad to my ears. Bass was muddy and lacked...

chime in only those who spec’d 22” wheels with all-season tires.

Similar happened to my Taycan after a year of ownership…. they had to replace some relay or whatever they called it.. under warranty of course. Been fine since. Your dealer will fix it.

Lucky escape indeed :)

Thanks for your replies, Karl and daveo4EV. This is very helpful and confirms what I expect will happen when I make the switch. I will definitely miss the lower sportscar feel and sharpness of the Taycan. However, the added utility of a slightly larger rear trunk with hatch and overall...

or even existing Taycan owners who added a Macan EV to their garage. Are you still happy with your decision to switch? Any regrets or things the Macan EV doesn't deliver that the Taycan did? (ride quality, handling performance, creature comforts, build quality, etc) I'd like to know your...

I really hope EV sales improve for Porsche and the Macan EV and upcoming 718 EV do well... enough so they can keep making ICE 911 with sticks. I will continue to buy ICE 911 with 3 pedals for as long as they'll make them. Electrified 911 just don't interest me. Electrified macans, cayennes...

Oh I agree that it‘s Apples to Oranges when it comes for the target audiences. Most shopping for the Macan EV are looking for an electric car with the Porsche cachet at a lower cost of admission (by Porsche standards) and most shopping for the M5 are expecting an M5, or similar super sedan...

It might seem Apples to Oranges but they’re more similar than you might think. Yes, one is a plug-in hybrid and the other fully electric but both in the same ballpark as far a combination of luxury, performance, and utility. Both are hatchbacks with room for family road trips, similar 0-60...
