    Video Porsche Aventurine Green + Chalk beige or gray?

    Unfortunately, i don't think that's a normal option (limestone beige) - on the standard configurator for the Macan... Perhaps as a Sonderwunsch (read: more $$$ IF you can get a slot) Based on the Taycan and Panamera pics i'm seeing though, you're right in that the limestone would probably be a...

    Video Porsche Aventurine Green + Chalk beige or gray?

    Hehe, hopefully time will prove us both correct in terms of the actual colour :) I think dealers worldwide tend to order stock car interiors in black as it's the most 'unoffending' colour (or lack thereof) there is... Even when i was looking through the build list of cars my Dealer had ordered...

    Video Porsche Aventurine Green + Chalk beige or gray?

    Thanks for sharing - The following video also popped up on my YouTube search earlier and like most forumers, think we're just glad to get any extra snippets/morsels of info that we can at the moment whilst waiting for delivery of our own cars... On the colour, i agree it does the 'chalk beige'...

    Battery Supplier & Manufacturer Query?

    Yeah, i guess this is what you get for a global supply chain and the fact that the batteries (cells) themselves are only one cog in the larger 'wheel' of the BMS (Draxlmeier)... On the Draxlmeier plant in Leipzig, my thoughts were also initially that it was 'exclusive' to Porsche (they seem to...

    Battery Supplier & Manufacturer Query?

    Honestly it probably seems like the most plausible explanation. Hard to verify until either the Draxlmeier confirms (unlikely) or more probably a Macan needs requires battery servicing and then we can look at the cell manufacturer label (also hoping that won't be for a while)

    Official EPA range: 2024 Macan EV 4 (308 miles) and Macan EV Turbo (288 miles) + MPGe figures via Monroney Window Stickers!

    Think i understand the confusion... All the quotes for 380 Miles range (even in the article linked) are using WLTP, not EPA testing standard. Figures quoted in this thread are the official EPA standard - what i'm taking as the most 'conservative' benchmark of the 3 'Standards' (NEDC>WLTP>EPA)...

    Battery Supplier & Manufacturer Query?

    Hi All, Yet another ā€˜just wonderingā€™ question (whilst waiting for delivery) - but I had always read that the Battery for the Macan was to be supplied by CATL.. Per the EPA Testing Data results sheet (as posted by @JayGT4 in the EPA Thread), Battery Manufacturer is listed as "DFS Draxlmaier"...

    Official EPA range: 2024 Macan EV 4 (308 miles) and Macan EV Turbo (288 miles) + MPGe figures via Monroney Window Stickers!

    Awesome find! So at least we now have the EPA numbers as well! Can imagine a lot more info will flood out over the coming weeks as people start taking deliveries. Itā€™s going to be an agonising wait for those in the build queue (like myself) but will be good to hear/see the reviews on how the...

    Acoustically Laminated Privacy Glass Unavailable

    Seriously bummed if this is true - i also would be tempted to just wait if option were unavailable. Could ask what production month your build slot was for? Mine apparently is later this month (September) - so Iā€™m also just waiting for confirmation now (based in Malaysia). Will update back if...

    Preparation Porsche Dashcam (Option QK3)

    Thanks for reminding me to circle back. My SA told me that the pre-wiring is for BOTH the front and rear cameras. So there is some hope after all. Hopefully with some of the first orders being delivered this month, weā€™ll be able to get some concrete confirmation (either way).

    Configurator Update: 360 View now renders the gear tunnel leather + deviated stitching

    Nice find! Honestly like Duckman, I also went for the truffle brown for ā€˜safetyā€™ but have been also playing with the configurator for kicks (as Iā€™m sure others have too) and found the contrasting leather option quite fascinating to configure - but without seeing it in the ā€˜fleshā€™, was paranoid...

    New CarPlay Preview at WWDC 2024

    Oh wow, didnā€™t know that feature had been rolled-out to in-production models already. I mean itā€™s at least a step in the right direction - baby steps I guess. :) On the HUD - thinking about it a bit moreā€¦. Unless thereā€™s an agreed standard for all 3rd party Nav to send instructions in a...

    New CarPlay Preview at WWDC 2024

    Thatā€™s definitely an interesting find - Thanks for highlighting. At first glance i thought it was just the default Nav until I saw the Apple Maps theme/colours. Even if it isnā€™t the whole 9-yards in terms of new CarPlay, itā€™d be a good step - ceding the main area of the dash to a 3rd party is a...

    Placed your Macan EV order? Post your configuration! šŸ™‹šŸ»‍ā™‚ļø

    +1 for body colour (ordered per my spec) - but agree it depends on the exterior colour chosen and/or the ā€˜lookā€™ youā€™re going for (eg B&W ā€˜Pandaā€™ contrast). For me, I just went for the off-road package as that ā€˜solvedā€™ the problem for me, came with some other body painted front/rear bits added...

    Preparation Porsche Dashcam (Option QK3)

    Lots of good info posted in the 992 forums (see my post #3 above) about the connector and even pin diagram. Just note that for people to use it for 3rd party hardware, you can buy a socket adapter to tap the wires more cleanly as the connector by default is proprietary. Iā€™m still thinking of...

    Preparation Porsche Dashcam (Option QK3)

    Thatā€™s good to know/reassuring GH - Could ask source your source of info (SA, Porsche Tech, Current Macan/Taycan Owner (as closest equivalent), etc)? I plan on checking with my SA later today when I drop by the dealer so will hopefully have another datapoint.

    Macan EV Wheels... help me choose! (pictures inside)

    Chose B & C... I'm a personal fan of the Spyder design. I would have loved to go 22"s, but road conditions were i live dictate that 21's are probably the 'sane' choice for a daily driver. 'B' - predominantly to 'match' the frozen blue main - my personal prefer to have gloss trim to remain as...

    Preparation Porsche Dashcam (Option QK3)

    My SA took the other path, recommended that it be fitted (just in case)... In my other vehicles, i'm using iRoad (a Korean brand) with additional battery but took the chance this round not to screw with running/tapping wires in the hopes of sticking as-close-to manufacturer spec as possible...

    Preparation Porsche Dashcam (Option QK3)

    Just wondering if anyone knows for the wiring preparation (QK3), is this for BOTH front and rear cameras? I'm sure most of us have spec'd this option but the generic write-up in the configurator doesn't seem to state. Wondering if any current Macan owners with this option (closest equivalent, i...

    New CarPlay Preview at WWDC 2024

    Whilst we all can hope for this to happen, honestly unless it's been already 'announced' as a major feature (which, imo this is), i don't take it as a great sign... That and the fact that this new Macan EV PCM is Android Auto based (what my SA told me) doesn't give me hope that new CarPlay is...
