To my wife and me, no doubt the Taycan is a sexier looking car but its majorly-forward “B” pillar (occluding the vertical part of the front seats when entering), compounded by the lower front outside of the dash sticking far rearward, lastly adding in the car’s low height, make entry except for...
If Dave were to return here and post, “thanks guys for your feedback, while brutal, I am man enough to realize I did not properly employ my own scoring system, AND I am going to follow the suggestion to have Kathy do a 100% independent evaluation of her Macan soon,” then bravo to you Dave for...
I like your removal of the “electric” badge.
I first assess the paint, determining if any need for light polishing in spots. Then deep clean, IronX, clay bar or equivalent. Next a denatured alcohol or equivalent to insure no trace of any proceeding remains on the paint.
Then comes PPF’ing...
Thanks Alex74. Putting the two pictures together, using one of my favorite app “Side By Side,” as close to a comparison picture as possible, as Tacoman said several posts above the $530 black matrix LED option has a slightly darker appearance
The one on the left below is the $530 black...
I enjoyed it and learned one new/good thing, that if i wanted, I could turn off just the “augmented” part of the HUD. However would want to live with it a while before even considering that use option.
The OP’s survey now shows 90% happy; 10% not. That is a better postivie ratio than when the poll ws up just a short time. We anll expect Porsche to keep improving the Macan EV, up their factory QC so that as they leave the assembly process so nearly 100% are 100%, and soon some further...
Re the meter measuring of 2.5 decibels difference (post # 5), the human ear perceives a sound doubling in level when decibels are increased 3 decibels — so 2.5 increase in sound level is a major difference. Of course each of us is physically different, as anre our routes we drive, and perhaps...
Each of us can decide what future videos we choose to see. I do not own Macan so his “review” was not personal, not against a purchasing choice I made and thus I got my feelings hurt. As I posted on his video on YT itself, he loves Tesla and probably will be happier when he gets another one...
For the very, very valid reasons posted above, the only way I will watch another OutOfSpec Dave review is if 1) he takes down his video, OR 2) has his wife making a replacement video on her car — with him not even in the background doing the camera work.
While I continue to watch the rest of...
If Kathy were allowed to do her own, with Dave not present on screen nor his even running the camera (get one of the other OutOfSpec persons), it would be a way different score.
Dave has always been a Tesla fantastic. Glad he likes them. True the Macan is not yet perfect but he is saying that the Tesla is that much better by his comparative scoring. IMO some of his individual Macan scoring in specific categories was close to being a hatchet job.
Porsche has so many “you cannot get this option with that one” rules that cost them net money because they are the “self-appointed fashion police.”
Couple of examples applying to just my 2026 desired order; now multiply the money lost on just my one order by the number of customers who also...
I agree that few changes but speaking of colors, personally hope for the addtion of Carmine Red (or a metallic red) and for the interior additional option of chalk/black. One more 21” wheel option please.
But darn good imo if no changes. Thanks for the timeline.
Looking ahead please, does anyone know or have a guess when the 2026 MY changes will be announced and when the first of the 2026 orders might be accepted.
