@tmrqs, you mentioned that our vehicles will be on the same ship. Do you have any order status information on the My Porsche app? My VIN was added by my SA yesterday but no order info appears on the app.
I ordered RAS on my 4S instead of the Burmeister or HUD, and am excited to see how it drives after I take delivery in early December.
Unfortunately the WLTP and EPA projected range of the 4S and Turbo is the same. I had assumed the 4S range would be higher — somewhere in between the 4 and the...
I took a brief test drive of the Macan 4 EV today to see how it drives relative to my long range Tesla MY. As expected, the steering, cornering and braking felt much tighter on the Porsche. Of course, the interior quality/luxury of the Porsche is MUCH higher and I really liked the look of the...
I did exactly that but PCNA sent me an email stating “I do apologize, but your vehicle is still in production, and I am unable to process your request at this time. Once you take delivery, either your Dealer will send you the My Porsche Invitation email, or you can send your documents back in...
How were you able to add your vehicle to TYD without proof of ownership? When I tried to add my VIN to the My Porsche app in the U.S., PCNA responded that it cannot be added until I take delivery.
In reviewing other Dashcam forums, these appear to be the top ones most often considered (of which I’m considering one of the top 4 and most likely buying a Blackvue DR970X due to its cloud viewing features and picture quality):
Blackvue DR970X-2CH Plus (or DR770X)
Blackvue DR970X Box 2-CH Plus...
I tried to add my Macan EV 4S which has been built but not delivered yet to the My Porsche app using the VIN and submitted the build sheet as proof of ownership but the request by PCNA. I received the following response:
“I do apologize, but your vehicle is still in production, and I am unable...
Just heard from my SA that the estimated delivery date for my 4S is delayed from November 22 to December 2. There were no production delays as it was built on time and transferred to the port in Emden. Just missed the last ship to Jacksonville which departed on November 2nd, so it will likely be...
I chose to save a few dollars to use on other options and ordered the standard wheel. I liked the better dashboard visibility and thought it was slightly more comfortable, although I do prefer the look of the GT sport wheel.
Was afraid to post this since I know most Porsche owners prefer the GT...
Why not take the car now that the wait is over? Were you worried about it being exposed to the elements at the port for an extended period of time or that there are still outstanding defects?
Regardless, I’m sure others will be happy to buy it from the dealer since the Turbo is currently in...
No sure if they would be damaged but would become hard as rock in low temperatures which make them dangerous to drive in the winter, particularly in icy conditions.
Thanks for the great detailed review! I too was torn between the Taycan and the Macan EV. Wanted a sportier car (Taycan) but also wanted the latest tech and versatility of a compact SUV (e.g., tow hitch option for bike rack on the Macan). Ultimately ordered the Macan 4S considering the $35K...
My bad… those are the 21” Design wheels. Btw, the 20” wheels have the monochrome logo unless you choose the $190 colored center cap option.
I agree with the previous post that the 20” S wheels which are standard on the 4S help justify the cost to upgrade from the Macan 4.
Unfortunately I don’t know exactly when my VIN was available since I don’t get very frequent status updates from my SA. After asking for an update, I received my VIN on 10/14 but it could have been available much earlier.
My 4S was ordered on 8/28 with a freeze date of 9/16. Production was completed on 10/24 and delivery in NC is expected on 11/22.
We’ll see if the delivery date holds given the software delays others have experienced with the 4 and Turbo.
Apparently the illuminated aluminum doors sills did not delay the (US) build of my Macan. I just heard from my SA that production of my 4S will be completed by tomorrow.
I agree with the other statements above. I didn’t need all of the aesthetic options included with the Turbo so it was difficult for me to justify the additional $15K expense.
On the other hand, it was an easy decision for me to upgrade from the 4 to 4S since I got a boost in horsepower and it...
