The Macan EV comes with 2 types of badges:
- Model designation in the back
- “electric” 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. Didn’t quite go as expected - for the better.

I went early so I could also visit the Porsche Heritage museum (floor B1). It’s actually fairly small...
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.
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 won’t be delivered until the end of the year (hoping for no delays due to the aluminum shortage incident), I’ve decided to treat myself. I’m 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,
I had to let go of my Turbo allocation: it’s locking end of July and getting delivered in October. Tri state area.
Being sold at MSRP, no ADM.
Any takers? DM me!
Heavily covered but seems someone is having fun with the upcoming Cayenne EV.

I was dead sure there was a topic for this but couldn't find it... so here goes.
I've finally firmed up my configuration. Lock day is just a few weeks away but I'm done tinkering with the specs.

I have been a little confused about all of the above, what they do and don't do. After some research, stumbled on Jeremy Lawley's profile on Vimeo - seemingly an official Porsche channel called Academy Garage for their partners.
2 videos were particularly of interest:

Going through the configurator tonight, noticed they’ve added a new section under “Interior options”: “Interior accessories and child seats”.
Nothing too crazy, but convenient if you need to get a cold seat too.
During the Developers Conference this past week, Apple provided more details around their new CarPlay. They focused on how customizable the interface is, which has been recurring complaint.
Porsche was announced to be one of the firsts to embrace it, although no word on which model.
Curious to...
Got this over email - and it’s free!
Wish I lived close to one of these…
Meet the all-electric Macan at a Porsche Experience Center.
Beginning this June, Porsche Experience Center Atlanta and Los Angeles will offer a complimentary Macan Electric Immersion program. An introduction to our first...
Reading the comments, some people say the Macan 4 is plenty fast acceleration-wise while others (myself included) crave the extra HP.
Got me wondering: is your current car also an EV or ICE?
Feel free to add details below!
Today the embargo is lifted, reviews and videos of the driving impressions are finally released!
Will be updating this first post with all the links I come across.

Went test drive a Macan GTS this weekend, wanted to get a feel for handling - understanding that the EV will handle quite differently.
Chatting with the sales guy, I asked about the maintenance routine on a Porsche EV. Commented that I did my annual visit a few months ago for my MME and that...
New video shows several angles of the Turbo (in black) roaming in California.
I wasn’t sure about the Turbo aero wheels but think they actually look pretty good. With the silver accents that come with the public version, they will be 👌🏻.
The car was announced officially less than a month ago, details are still limited, but it is an intriguing car.
I myself am very much leaning towards placing an order, actually spent time time at 2 dealerships this weekend and could secure a car this Summer!
But also trying to be pragmatic as...
