The new Audi A6 e-tron, built on the PPE platform, quietly welcomes an exciting new feature: Carkey.
Carkey stores a virtual key on your phone and allows to open the car, start it and even share a temporary key with a friend.
The Audi A6 e-tron is the first to get it, we can now hope other...
It's been almost 3 months since I got my Macan Turbo and to this day, still absolutely love the car.
Very happy with its features, so only added a few things, here's the list.

Already described the tray itself and adding felt in other posts, will just say @cottony's...
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...
Hi @Administrator,
While I kinda like the badge shown on the profile, I canāt say I love it being mandatory.
Seeing a number of members who donāt 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...
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...
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. š
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...
After months of wait, I finally picked up my 2025 Macan Turbo today. Specs-wise:
Ice Grey Metallic exterior, no badges
Black/Turbonite interior
21ā Michelin on Turbo rims
Sport Chrono package
Rear Axle Steering
Innodrive with ALK
A few other minor things
I didnāt have too much time at the...
I realize it doesnāt apply to most countries in the world but what the heck: happy Turkey day! š¦
We donāt always agree on everything (and we shouldnāt) but I wanted to thank you all for participating and making this board a fun/friendly place to be around.
And sometimes, on occasion, I learn a...
People keep saying āleasing gets you $7.5k credit, itās 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...
We all know cars devaluate the minute they leave the dealerās lot, but EV in particular have it worse.
Based on your experience with other EV youāve owned, what was the drop in value after 24 or 36/39 months?
Feel free to add details below!
The Macan EV comes with 2 types of badges:
- Model designation in the back
- āelectricā 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?
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...
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. Didnāt quite go as expected - for the better.
Arrival
I went early so I could also visit the Porsche Heritage museum (floor B1). Itās actually fairly small...
It is an interesting and unexpected collaboration.
Makes me wonder whether Porsche is targeting millennials with its Macan Electricā¦ even though theyāre usually not ones to spend money on big ticket items.
When configuring your car, the last option in the configurator is the Delivery Experience.
You can choose to pick your car at one of the Porsche Experience Centers for a fee.
In the US, this $1,000 option includes:
a tour of the Porsche Experience Center facility
lunch at their restaurant...
As my Macan wonāt be delivered until the end of the year (hoping for no delays due to the aluminum shortage incident), Iāve decided to treat myself. Iām going to attend in a few weeks the 2-day Performance course at Barber Motorsports Park, in Birmingham (Alabama).
The program focuses on the...
Hi guys,
