    Macan 4S vs Taycan ST 4S -- my impressions & review

    Nice review. I don’t have one to swap but after test driving I can see plenty of reasons to swap the pre 2025 Taycan. Trunk space, range and ride height including visibility of where the front end is being the main reasons but also the drive experience with rear axle steering makes the Macan...

    Macan EV Software Update delaying delivery!

    LOL...I was going to say if you were willing to wait that long you would get the diehard award for sure.🏆

    Received my Macan 4 EV in Ice Grey / Truffle Brown, first impressions & photos

    Hum...the truffle brown almost looks like copper in the inside shot and tends to take on a more orange looks in the light with the light exterior. I wrestled with that color a lot and in the end feel that the Ruby exterior or a dark exterior (black, jet black or even a dark green) would be best...

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

    No real discount but got free all weather floor mats and trunk liner and tons of swag. They did want me to pick over 10k in options which I would have done anyway. No mark up over MRSP. You can review the forum for software issues and determine your own tolerance level. I am ok with the one...

    Photos: Carbon Fiber Wheels / Side Blades on Macan EV in Copper Ruby Metallic 🤩

    Carbon fiber side blades look interesting. Anyone else receive their car with CF side blades. I am thinking of replacing the standard ones I got as they look too plastic like to me now that I have the car. If anyone has pictures that would be nice to see.

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

    My SA said they had more of a struggle getting the Turbo they had to behave than the 4’s they had. He said it was more complicated. I have no idea what specifically he was referring to but wondering if there are more niggles with the Turbo configuration setup. I have no data just asking if...

    Unprotected cheap floor vent...

    But we like to spin wheels for fun :CWL:

    Unprotected cheap floor vent...

    Some mesh attached to the vent opening might work but it looks level so nothing is falling in but rather might block the opening. I think you can get any material in there out with a vacuum. I am now less convinced that anything is needed because the whole point is to prevent blockage and...

    Unprotected cheap floor vent...

    Ok here is the update on my little experiment. I cut one of the vent covers and installed. See photo. Then I turned on max AC in the rear (I have 4 zone temp option) and there is a noticeable degradation in air flow so I would NOT recommend covering up the vent holes if you want to get air to...

    Cannot open boot anymore

    Hum I was hoping you had only a partial system block. It sounds like your trunk operation software is fully shut down. It is strange you’re not getting any warning messages.

    Trunk Emergency release error

    Wow ok so from my perspective it is unlikely that that you have bunch of hardware issues happening all at once. I think that they need to wipe the software and do a complete reinstall and reconfigure.

    Unprotected cheap floor vent...

    Ok so the vent covers arrived and are about 3 cm too short. So they don’t fit. However now that I have them I am concerned about limiting air flow. Just as an experiment I am cutting one in half (because they fit snugly virtually) and comparing. There is a 3D printer shop in town and if flow...

    Cannot open boot anymore

    just curious do you have foot gesture open enabled. If so did you try opening with your foot gesture? If you still have the car try toggling that feature on and off using interior and key buttons. I think they need to reinitialize the anti theft software. Guess they will figure it out 🤞

    Trunk Emergency release error

    Hi Gary Sorry to hear you’re having troubles. So far I have not gotten any more errors but still a little Reluctant to claim I see nothing but blue skies ahead. I think that if the issues are dealer related and lack of knowledge on how to configure, then that is an easier problem to solve...

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

    I agree . I have taken test drives of all Mercedes EVs. I always go with excited anticipation and come out disappointed, there’s just something about the drive. They just feel almost boat like in some cases but all of them at least feel to big (not agile) to me, no matter sedan or SUV. I...

    Simply Electric - drives me crazy

    The reviewer promised a lot more than delivered. He is not as well prepared as others and skipped around on random impressions. Seems like he hates plastic but also worries about non plastic materials so he seems like a conflicted person 😁. On that note I got the interior with 18 way seats and...

    For those of you with Rear Wheel steering... happy with it?

    I originally opted out but included it before freeze date. I do notice it just driving around tight curves. Feels like the car is going where you want is more rapidly or effortlessly. It comes with power steering plus and I do notice it in a parking lot. Also I noticed in on the highway...
