My guess one of the reasons is the software is half baked and needs updates to work properly. IF they delivered a reliable platform the OTA case would not be as relevant. Other then that - EVs are supposed to be software defined and that includes OTA. This seems to be the standard on the market...

They advertise OTA updates for the newest Taycans: https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2026/products/porsche-model-year-innovations-taycan-42641.html They advertised OTA updates for the new Macan. I think they know times when you had to buy map updates on expensive CD are in fact over but are...

TBH this is less of an update and more like bug fixing AND it requires visit to the shop AND it's not done by default but requires you to complain about specific issues. On the other hand I just received a message from Porsche Connect that the ability to select preferred charging stations in...

Hi, it's seems there is a new version of the latest update that resolves some of the issues that have been reported here. https://dot.report/bulletins/MC-11033390-0001.pdf Seems like you can only get it when you complain hard about any of the following... It also mentions something about...

Sometime it's "cracking" sound, sometimes it's "knocking" sound, sometime you can feel like something had hit the suspension. All and all this is an embarrassment for Porsche, I've had it with many loaners I was given and I cannot understand how can you sell cars - any cars - with this and tell...

I think the GTS is what this car should have been from the beginning :) Much more refined, mature and honestly a better drive compared to 4/4S/Turbo. The only thing I don't buy is a relaxing drive with 22" wheels. Perhaps on a good highway but otherwise it's a bit too much.

I don't get why you're hell-bent on negating these experiences. It's very clear that a lot of people are having issues with this car. When you look at the Audi Q6 e-tron, it seems even worse. In my experience, almost every Porsche and Audi EV owner I meet at DC charging stations complain that...

I don't think these are comparable vehicles when you factor in driving experience. Macan is fun to drive, it's still a toss-it-around car. Cayenne will not be that.

I would say after covid it seems like the whole car industry took a wrong turn. New products often deviate from established brand stylings (look at the new Ferrari Luce). Everyone seems to have reliability issues with new platforms. Shift to EVs did not turn out the way everyone hoped. New...

It does not change the power, delivery or "responsivness" of the car, at least I'm not seeing this. Custom modes revert to default every time you leave the car. In Sport Plus the only difference you see is the suspension becomes much less comfortable but not much more compliant. Overall I don't...

Was it before the WSJ0 update? It changes how the suspension works and makes jt a bit more compliant.

OMG this is my spec :) love it, can't wait Lugano blue goes surprisingly well with Truffle Brown.

All reviews claim it's much more firm, some say it's a bit too much.

Be aware that Porsche recommends replacing the whole bumper for the assistance systems to work properly. Respray is not approved at least for the rear bumper, IDK about the front one.

They look better without glossy trim for sure. There is something off with glossy trim at least foe my taste.

I think most reviewers agree that GTS + 22" can be too much. GTS + 21" should be fine (I hope). Problem is 21" Macan Design wheels do not look good in real life. This colour does not pair well with other trim elements. So the only choice left is Macan Turbo wheels. Same goes for Taycan, the...

@aks Thanks for this, great insight! Ordered mine with 21" and I wonder how much will it impact the ride quality - the 22" was a bit too much on the GTS.

I get it, sometimes it's not possible to replace the car during the lease term and Porsche is not willing to help with that. In fact they do anything possible not to do that and cover their base in case of a lawsuit (see the bulletin about front suspension cracking sounds - "it's by design") I...

Hi, have any of you done first service / maintenance? In my case after 1,5 years and 40k kms there was a popup saying the cabin air filter needs replacing. Car was at the shop and total was a little over 1k EUR for: - Additional inspection of water drains - 40k km service inspection -...

There is a thread about this: https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/front-air-suspension-cracking-sound-over-speed-bumps.17162/ There is also a bulletin about this: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2026/MC-11028576-0001.pdf Might be some other thing but first check this out. TL;DR...
