Buy 2 faraday shields - you will especially love it if you need to lock the car and reset the car error codes. Place both keys in two shields to ensure a lock for 15 minutes resets any error codes. It saved us from an error message telling us not to drive our Taycan.
Here are the ones (2 in a...
Have not run our Macan Turbo below 20% yet but our 2020 Taycan TS is about 1 mile per % below 10% when driven aggressively at highway speeds on mountain freeways (70-80 mph). I always plan on 10% being 10 miles.
It’s complicated with two Porsche EVs - we still have our 2020 Taycan TS with the 2022 AC charger / Plug & Charge upgrade and you can only select one car at a time (our iPhones are tied to the same email). And it is not clear to me that it successfully switches. We go from flawless P&C to...
2024 Macan Turbo Electric
Our Monroney sticker is dated 30 SEP 2024 and shows:
EPA range of 288 miles
37 kWh / 100 miles
Porsche suggests usable battery is 95 kWh. If true:
288 / 95 = 3.03 miles per kWh
100 / 37 = 2.70 miles per kWh
The disconnect is either tests in different conditions or...
If you normally drive other cars in SPORT or SPORT+ mode or mostly on smooth roadways, you will be fine. Rough roads or old concrete roads (even ones paved over with asphalt) may drive you nuts. 22” wheels on the Macan Electric is like SPORT mode when in NORMAL mode.
Our 2024 Turbo with 22”...
I leave at least the width of a tire from the curb in our Turbo and Taycan Turbo S - much easier in the Macan Electric because of the side view. And I make less sharp departures from curbside parking.
For me, I use the top view and mirrors for parking and have no issue with the backup camera -...
When I raise the spoiler manually on our turbo, it stays up when parked, possibly in different positions, until the turbo is driven over 75 mph and then the spoiler retracts when parked. You need to drive faster!
EDIT 28 OCT 2024: I must be road weary - completely spaced out on using 24" instead of 22"!
The 22” wheels are not for those seeking a luxury ride on poor side streets or roads. On most freeways, they are fine. We ordered them only because of the Taycan-like style. They do sharpen the steering...
Heads Up display is especially useful at night for blind spot and cross traffic warnings. It also guides you to unfamiliar destinations wit turn, lane, and distance displayed, in addition to speed limit, speed, and street / road names. It is an amazing amount of information without being too...
We expect it to take three weeks after visiting family & friends on the East coast and then zig-zagging our way across the US sightseeing.
Have driven 430 miles so far with two charging stops. Average consumption is 35.0 kWh / 100 miles (2.86 miles / kWh) with 500 lbs. of people & luggage...
Yes ! Would have been fun to meet you. We have taken delivery in Stuttgart, Leipzig, and PECATL. All have been great. PECATL the most friendly and the best instructor.
Our 4+ year-old Taycan Turbo S has 23,000 miles and beige seats. Yes, it does pick up a blue trace from jeans. However, Amway LOC (or probably any mild citric-based cleaner) mixed with water as instructed easily removes the blue by using a spray bottle to moisten a microfiber cloth and then wipe...
As a true nerd engineer, I play with automatic features constantly - my wife tells me to stop because she says I am much smoother than anything our Taycan Turbo S does automatically.
We are picking up our Macan Turbo Electric next week at PEC ATL and driving about 5,000 miles back to Oregon -...
“Pushed” the extra 1” width inside by calculating the offset needed to match the outside position of the factory wheels.
Turns out, it may allow my HRE wheels to be used on the Turbo Electric - outside edge is ~1 cm wider than factory wheels (estimated).
Here are the specifications as ordered:
HRE 21" Classic Series 303M Wheels
Front axle: 9.5 J x 21 RO 32 Gloss Silver
Rear axle: 10.5 J x 21 RO 25 Gloss Silver
Lifetime Limited Structural Warranty and 2 Year Finish Warranty
Monoblok 1-Piece, Classic 13 spoke with High, Medium and...
