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…
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...
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.
Amethyst Ace arrived in Baltimore between 2 and 3 AM this morning. Macan 4 and Turbo models should arrive at Northeast and Midwest dealerships this week And probably other VAG cars as well.
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...
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.
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...
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...
It appears that North Eastern and Midwest deliveries of Macan’s will leave Emden early next week (approximately 9/10) on Amethyst Ace. There will be a delivery to Halifax 9/18 on the way. The ship is scheduled to arrive Sparrow’s Point (Baltimore) 9/22. Land travel and dealer prep follow. More...
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”
Agree that this thread has more general information. The above post gets directly to more specific information.
BTW: I caution against the subscription at MarineTraffic.com as.unneccessary and very expensivel I recommend the app instead.
If @Administrator has a preference for how to handle...
Here is a bit of Track Your Dream (lite edition) for our group since official TYD is unavailable to us
When you know your car is at port in Emden waiting to be loaded onto a ship (from your SA), the following schedule of near term departures applies...
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...
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...
