    Before I order a 25 Macan 4S, please help with 2 questions re price and software

    You can get a small discount on the Macan 4 in the US. People here really want the 4S or Turbo and a lot of California dealerships had extra 4 allocations.

    A Question For All Current, Future or Thinking About Becoming a Macan EV Owner

    Agree with @tmrqs . I think the tone is nice, if anything, just someone that can't actually help. Ask to be escalated.

    What's the order / delivery status of your Macan EV? [Update your status if/when it changes]

    My 4S snuck onboard the Daisy Leader. Delivery ETA moved up to mid December.

    300 kW Charging Curve achieved on Macan EV

    I would kill for that charging curve on my Rivian. I'm lucky to get a minute above 140 kw even at sub 10% charge. Between a poor charging curve and insane inefficiency, this thing is a nightmare to charge.

    [Trip Report] - I'm peddling as fast as I can to generate electrons… PEC ATL to Santa Cruz in a Macan EV Turbo?

    @daveo4EV I'm refreshing this thread so often you could probably get a restraining order. Really interested in how your experience goes! Hoping it's amazing.

    Before I order a 25 Macan 4S, please help with 2 questions re price and software

    You could get a tiny discount on a 4 in SoCal. Maybe 1.5 or 2%. No discounts anywhere on a Turbo or 4S. Do not pay anything above MSRP. Plenty of people still haven't received their cars because of the software issues, so it's certainly not worked out yet. I'd also advise a Porsche EV is...

    A Question For All Current, Future or Thinking About Becoming a Macan EV Owner

    as @tmrqs says, all EVs have had their slew of issues. With that said, an Electric Macan would be very, very low on my list if reliability was a prominent concern of mine. The Taycan has been a nightmare since day one. Tons of recalls, constant 12v and main battery issues, bricked cars all over...

    First quick feedback of Macan Turbo vs BMW iX

    Still shy of the 25 recalls the Taycan has had.

    First quick feedback of Macan Turbo vs BMW iX

    If you're buying a Macan because you're hoping for improved reliability... oh boy. The iX has had some lemons, as all EVs have, but it's miles ahead of the Taycan and early returns on the Macan. I get it feels especially bad when you're the one that gets the lemon, but there isn't an EV on the...

    300 kW Charging Curve achieved on Macan EV

    That's a very impressive charging curve.

    A Question For All Current, Future or Thinking About Becoming a Macan EV Owner

    It's definitely a concern. I'm glad I canceled my initial order and have a couple months for my 4S to show up, as I'm strongly considering an iX instead. It's worth noting it's not just the Macan, the Taycan has had countless issues since launch. Look at the list of recalls! You also will find...

    USA Import Duty

    I'm not sure a world exists where German cars aren't significantly more expensive 6 months from now. Elon Musk will certainly make sure of that. Whether it's through tariffs or other means, prices are going up.

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    Whoa, that's not good. They must have discovered something very troubling.

    USA Import Duty

    It's going to be bleak. Import cars being more expensive means US cars will be, too. It's easy enough to look at countries that have high import dues currently and see how expensive Porsches are there. Given that Elon Musk is now effectively VP you can expect any competition of Tesla to be...

    Trying to decide between '25 Macan EV Turbo and '25 AMG EQE SUV

    People still buy Mercedes? You should buy a BMW iX before you buy an EQE. The iX is a similar comparison but a far better car and there are amazing lease deals (check leasehackr). If you're looking for something more comfort oriented with more space, the iX is the way to go.

    I've Got My Lease Options: What's the verdict?

    To pay off early is just the residual as agreed at lease start plus all remaining payments minus all remaining financing charges. Residual depnds on lease terms, usually between 48% and 64% for Porsche. So say a 24 month lease on a 100k car with 60% residual. You'd pay 23 x (monthly...

    I've Got My Lease Options: What's the verdict?

    Ah, I see. They just cut you a slightly better MF for prepaying. What MF did they give you?
