It appears that Macan EV owners within 1 year of ownership get 30 minute charging sessions even if they are at an Electrify America station that has an 85% limit. During a session today, I pulled to 89% without interruption from the 85% limited charger.

Are you sure about this? There are Tesla v4 superchargers in British Columbia that support a version of 800v charging for non-Tesla EVs. They may be other places, but I know there is at least 1 in B.C. But we don't know for certain yet that Tesla will allow 800v charging for the Macan EV at...

My experience is no, the P on the dash is not lit. But an audible click from pushing the P button occurs and the touch feedback to your finger (pushing the button) is as-if the P button engaged normally to enter Park. It seems to me to, most likely, be a problem with the actual P button itself...

I've experienced the problem with "park not engaging after I think I've pushed the button". I'm up to a count of 2 or 3 times that the car has lurched forward after I thought it was in park and it was not in park.

I'm trying to help, but there are limits to what I can do here. I can just report what I experience. The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS), which is heard outside the car, is entirely separate from Sport Sound, and is mandated by regulation and cannot be disabled. On my 2024 Macan 4 EV...

When my wife is driving the Macan EV and I'm outside of the car and I hear it approach or leave, I'm always surprised at how loud the sports sound noise is. Truthfully, it has made me think about the difference in startup volume between our flat-6 engine and our Lexus RX 3.5-liter V6 engine. I...

Around me, Q6s are available at a 20% discount to MSRP ... but that was pre-tariff pricing. Who knows what is happening right now.

He had one of the greatest lines in the conclusion to the video. I'll paraphrase it as: "The Porsche does drive better, but if you're buying an SUV, you've already given up and you might as well buy the cheaper Audi." I disagreed with that assessment when I bought my car.

It is just on or off. There is no volume adjustment.

Hey ... has anyone measured the range hit from roof storage box setup? If so, can you give me an idea of the miles (or Km) / kWh and some specifics of your roof box setup?

I'm likely in the minority but I own the sports sound package and I think it is worth less than $0. I would never buy it again.

When I saw this thread, I thought of this tech talk given by Porsche about suspensions. The last statement in the video is "drive your car harder" ... which I took as an order. ;)

This isn't particularly big news, but I haven't seen it mentioned. Tesla's Supercharging Network now shows Porsche compatibility as "Coming Soon" and Porsche Livermore in California has a blog post/web page up about the transition to allow Tesla supercharging access in North America...

Thanks for posting that.

I'm sort of glad you made this comment, because I was asked to explain my reliance on surround view to someone else the other day. In the USA (where the EV has a standard backup camera only), I find the surround view screen helps with smoothly and quickly parking at busy DC fast chargers...

sucks

My theme is that we have no measurement tools to tell us whether these theories have any basis in reality based observations.

I think surround view is one of the few options that is 100% necessary. It makes parking the car a lot easier. There are many other options that I would not buy another Macan EV without ... but I think those are more personal. For instance, I would buy the HUD again on any Macan EV. But do most...

It seems logical that comfort and range are impacted by not adding additional window tint in 118 F. My question is "how much?" Also, I'm deeply skeptical about charging the battery to 100% in 118 F. I wish I could measure battery degradation in my car so that I could look at this. ;)
