Just took delivery of my 4S yesterday and can confirm that I have the 20” Pirelli Scorpion MS electric all-season tires. Only drove on them home from the dealership but they seemed fairly quiet on city streets and the highway. I’ll provide a ride update once I get more miles on them.

Yesterday — Porsche Financial Services quote from my SA.

Another benefit of the one-pay lease is that it has a lower money factor (interest rate). In my case it decreased from .0043 (10.3%) to .0035 (8.4%) on a 12-month lease which reduces the amount of interest paid over the course of the lease.

Finally took delivery of my 4S today! I’ll take some better pictures and share my early impressions of the car this weekend.

I was able to set my home address as a Location trigger in IFTTT, however for some strange reason MyQ only has a close door action, not an open door action. Interested to hear if anyone finds a solution.

My SA had no idea what delayed my 4S in port for two weeks but I suspect it was to address the US LED headlight recall and/or a software update.

Congrats! My 4S was delayed at the port by about two weeks and arrived at the dealership on 12/17. I’m picking it up on Thursday.

I ordered a few 12V covers on Amazon and will let you know how they fit in a few days after they arrive and I take delivery of my 4S.

Pasted below is an informative excerpt from an article about RAS confirming it works at low speeds. The driving instructor at PEC Atlanta highly recommended this feature as well, even after I told him I wouldn’t be track racing the car, since he said it provided more control at highway speeds in...

I see and then presumably the tire compressor is attached to the sealant canister which is screwed into the punctured tire. The only downside of the portable compressor is that the battery tends to drain charge when sitting in the car, especially if exposed to cold temperatures, so you have to...

Thanks. I have one of those — Fanttik portable tire compressors are great! Excuse my ignorance but do you use it instead of the OEM tire compressor or somehow use it as a battery source to power the OEM compressor?

Could you post a link to a sample 12V external battery pack?

Your 4S in Volcano Grey with the black window trim looks great! I pickup my 4S in the same color in three days. Glad to hear your range was better than expected since most early reviews have been fairly negative. I’m sure it helps significantly that you’re driving in a warm climate.

20” Macan S wheels. I believe the SA mentioned that my 4S has the 20” Pirelli Scorpion MS all-season tires.

Really looking forward to being able to provide my own reviews after I take delivery this Thursday the 26th! Too bad there aren’t any after Christmas sales on Porsches. ?

Yeah, I was surprised and disappointed when it was announced that the 4S would not have any better range than the Turbo. I opted for the 4S over the 4 since it had more horsepower and only cost me about $5K more. It was difficult for me to justify the additional $15K above the 4S to get the...

I’m curious how the 4S consumption and range compares with the Turbo. According to the EPA, they should be the same. Unfortunately it will be difficult to get an apples-to-apples comparison since we all have different configurations, driving styles, and climate conditions. I take delivery of my...

Does the Macan have a geolocation feature like my previous Tesla Y to automatically disable the auto-lock feature when at home or other specifically designated locations?

Here’s an informative article about RAS confirming that it does work at low speeds: https://www.pca.org/news/if-the-porsche-you-want-is-offered-with-rear-axle-steering-get-it-pca-tech-tips

Yeah, it appears the 20” 4S wheels are being fitted with Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus tires as well as the newer Pirelli Scorpion MS tires with no warranty which are specifically made for EVs. After reading reviews, I’d prefer the P Zeros but won’t know which one I’m getting until I pickup my...
