    From Turbo to RWD, testing pretty much all the options I debated on

    Yesterday my Ice Grey Turbo was picked up by the dealership to update the car (WSD0 - Install Upgrade to the Software Network VR28.11 recall). I didn't have any issue with my cameras but might as well get it taken care of. They brought a loaner and to my surprise, they brought a heavily specced...

    Workaround: setting a Chassis Level on the Normal drive mode

    As you (should) know, it is not possible to change the settings of the Normal drive mode - at least in the US. You can only store a different Chassis or Chassis Level setting under Sport / Sport+ / Off-road. I mostly drive either in Normal (Chassis set to Normal, Chassis Level set to Low) or in...

    PCM doesn't display the Chassis Level option anymore

    This weekend, I ran into a very odd issue: I am unable to choose the level/height of the chassis (Lift, Normal, Low, ...). The information is gone both from the PCM > Drive screen and the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel (little icon on the right). I can however feel the car...

    Macan model mandatory badge

    Hi @Administrator, While I kinda like the badge shown on the profile, I can’t say I love it being mandatory. Seeing a number of members who don’t own a Macan (or are even quite critical about them) that feature a Turbo badge on their profile for instance. This sends the wrong signal to other...

    Survey: How old are you?

    Chatting with a Porsche marketing person, they confirmed the average Porsche customer is about 55 years old. EV tend to be computer on wheels and as a general rule, we could expect younger people to be more at ease with how to operate them (system wise). It got me curious - how old are the...

    Did you RTFM?

    After being away for a little bit, I'm catching up on what happened here and was amused/surprised at all the new threads and questions asked. Which makes me wonder, do you read the manual of the car or just wing* it? *Winging it includes asking questions here. šŸ˜›

    One-pay lease and account balance? SOLVED!

    Edit: Explanation is in post 5 below. -- Original post: I got my Turbo on a 24mo one-pay lease as I've detailed in other threads. Signed a check for $50k+ and in a couple of years, I can choose to keep the car (and pay $70k+) or return it at likely no cost. Looking at my first statement from...

    Buying vs leasing (and possibly buying then): my numbers

    People keep saying ā€œleasing gets you $7.5k credit, it’s amazingā€ and I have been very vocal (say here or here) about leases being a money suck, especially when wanting to purchase at lease end. I always based my stance on the interests paid over the course of the lease but then came across the...

    Expected depreciation?

    We all know cars devaluate the minute they leave the dealer’s lot, but EV in particular have it worse. Based on your experience with other EV you’ve owned, what was the drop in value after 24 or 36/39 months? Feel free to add details below!

    Are you keeping the badges?

    The Macan EV comes with 2 types of badges: - Model designation in the back - ā€œelectricā€ on the sides In some markets, they can be deleted at order placement while in others, it has to be done post delivery. Are you planning on keeping all, some or none at all? Any reason why?

    PIWIS and Macan Electric

    Now that my Macan is a couple weeks from arriving, my nerdy self is waking up. I used to play with ForScan on my Mustang Mach-e and would like to explore (hidden?) options on the Macan. Does anyone know what version of PIWIS allows to connect to the new Macan EV? Looking at the websites selling...

    My Macan EV Experience @ PEC ATL -- Q&A + AMA

    The visit at PEC ATL was *very* interesting! I had booked 2 sessions, my plan was to do one sitting in the front and one in the back. Didn’t quite go as expected - for the better. Arrival I went early so I could also visit the Porsche Heritage museum (floor B1). It’s actually fairly small...

    Dua Lipa x Porsche: Macan commercial

    It is an interesting and unexpected collaboration. Makes me wonder whether Porsche is targeting millennials with its Macan Electric… even though they’re usually not ones to spend money on big ticket items.
