    Delivery Day: First Impressions of White Macan 4 EV

    First road trip is going on today. Highway is smooth sailing, comfortable and fun! I’ve only used ACC so far. Innodrive will come later. I will comment further about rough roads as I experience them and detail much more in my longer review. Soon…

    Delivery Day: First Impressions of White Macan 4 EV

    My delivery was yesterday (September 28) as I post this. Thanks to Porsche Cincinnati Kings (aka Joseph Porsche) for a smooth delivery experience and Macan in excellent shape out of the gate! Thanks especially to Mike. Full disclosure, I get nothing for the endorsement, but credit where it is...

    Tracking US Macan EV Shipments by Sea - Ship, Boat, Vessel 🚢

    Yah. My car is waiting on truck transport too as of yesterday. Only 500 miles for me. At least our cars have completed their sea journeys. Apparently Amethyst Ace is headed for Tuxpan port in Mexico now for still more deliveries and maybe pickups as well.

    Our Porsche Macan EV Turbo Test Drive Review: Resultant Eliminated Options

    I definitely understand your perspective and thought almost exactly the same until days before my freeze date. Also thought it might be a combination of preproduction and/or technique. As Steve Jobs infamously said: ”you’re holding it wrong” … and then Apple fixed the antenna problem. I...

    Our Porsche Macan EV Turbo Test Drive Review: Resultant Eliminated Options

    Initially I didn’t spec rear axle steering, but also heard so many great reviews, I added and suspect it will be a great decision. Tried to talk myself out of powered charge port for the same reasons as stated above. A friend with a Tesla commented on it being standard and suspect I will enjoy...

    Congrats to those with cars being delivered via Halifax. Amethyst Ace arrived early today and your car may already be unloaded. Next stop: Sparrow’s Point (Baltimore), possibly by Monday for Northeast and Midwest cars.

    First test drive discoveries: CarPlay support in HUD Heads-up Display (and more)

    Great to get some AR regardless. Thanks for that detail Route planner uses the Porsche navigation and does battery pre-conditioning also. I will use CarPlay as much as possible, but maybe not in the HUD and maybe not for navigation. I wonder how CarPlay for music, etc and Porsche Nav coexist...

    Is this new UI a mistake or for real?

    It would surprise me if that is not an option. Often there are more available that are not scrolled into view. Also, there is often a dark/light mode which typically subdues background color effects. Options available through CarPlay and Android Auto may provide further ways to customize. We...

    Is this new UI a mistake or for real?

    The themes app allows a choice of a multiple color schemes. Absolutely not an issue:

    U.S. Charging Network Growing Nicely

    Speaking of adapters, this YouTube video (at 11:00 in) shows how ChargePoint plans to make adapters unnecessary at their charging stations: Hopefully Electrify America and others will follow suit as Tesla provided a related solution with their “magic dock”

    U.S. Charging Network Growing Nicely

    The major sea change here is when almost every charging location is an option. This will happen when NACS adapters are available to us, hopefully by next summer. It is also extremely important to charge earlier than needed rather than use an ICE mentality of running to near empty. Also as...

    Production Week?

    After 15 days in production, my car has moved to the port for shipment. I now have the car’s VIN and am able to add it to the MyPorsche app. A few discoveries about the process might be helpful to the community: 1. Use the website rather than the app for initial setup. I was unable to associate...
