    Rear wheel steeringā€¦ in reverse

    No worries at all šŸ˜€ In the Turbo, PTV+ is included so I didn't have to make this decision this time. I remember reading forums when I bought the GTS and was unsure about PTV+. Not unlike here, the opinions ranged between "it's the most life-changing event I've experienced" and "I don't...

    Rear wheel steeringā€¦ in reverse

    One could argue that all options are not necessary, we're trying to help people decide what will work for them. Not sure if they're still around though šŸ˜…

    Rear wheel steeringā€¦ in reverse

    The definition of necessary in a 80k+ EV is going to be subjective somewhat. I do see value in RWS every time I turn the wheel, and I'm coming from a Macan that didn't have it. That said, I agree with you that this will be a must-have for people who tick performance boxes, and a nice-to-have for...

    Rear wheel steeringā€¦ in reverse

    If anyone is still unsure about spec'ing RWS for their new car, I'll happily make the case for it ad nauseam!

    Rear wheel steeringā€¦ in reverse

    Narrator: as it turned out, this SA was wrong. šŸ˜€ We're definitely falling back on a discussion where people who spec'd the option like love it, and people who didn't are fine without it.

    Satisfaction survey - Poll for current Macan EV owners only

    Also hoping theyā€™ll fix the door closing issue, I was watching the review by The Straight Pipes this morning and they had the issue as well. Itā€™s a little embarrassing after complaining about Tesla doors every time I got in one šŸ˜…

    Rear wheel steeringā€¦ in reverse

    Coming from a Macan GTS, the ease to corner at any speed is definitely noticeable with RWS. It also results in less body roll at highway speeds since all the wheels turn in the same direction (itā€™s more gliding than turning). At least thatā€™s how it feels. I just looked at my build sheet, RWS is...

    Rear wheel steeringā€¦ in reverse

    I'd go as far as saying RWS may be the most important option to spec on the Macan EV, unless you do zero city driving, parking, or highway driving šŸ˜€ Obviously the Macan is not a small car, even in the US where car sizes are out of control.

    Charging Port Error Message

    That's why I've bookmarked these two pages in the owner's manual šŸ˜…

    Inaccurate speedometer

    Speed recorded at the wheel will always fluctuate a bit, depending on tire wear, pressure, and other factors. So it may feel more true depending on the exact conditions. GPS speed is more accurate, but it's not instantaneous, and I hope you won't need the info in a tunnel.

    Pcm / preconditions

    This is 100% a UX issue (and there is always a logic for it, that's why you do user testing for these things). Navigation to a DC charger to see a friend without the intent of charging is an edge case that should not be the default behavior. It's likely (although surprising) that they haven't...

    Porsche EVs don't hold their value - should we get a discount ?

    Like Tesla deducting potential gas savings from the car price. If you intend to keep the car long enough, you can get it for free!

    Loaded 4S or lean Turbo?

    +1 for the Macan Design wheels!

    Is the car missing a mounting bolt here?

    We can all feel equally bad about this then!

    Loaded 4S or lean Turbo?

    Not sure if you still need feedback, I went the lean turbo route and I don't regret it because: It has RWS and all the performance options I'd have checked anyway I like its style better (I have a problem with shape of the rear quarter panel in the non-Turbo trims) I don't really care about...

    Serious Design Flaw - No easy access to vehicle if 12v battery is very low

    Exactly my thought when reading this thread. A few days should definitely not cause a noticeable discharge, unless there is something actively draining the battery. A few months is a different issue. So as the manual indicates if you leave the car more than a few weeks, it's safer to plug it...

    Placed your Macan EV order? Post your configuration! šŸ™‹šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

    Thatā€™s a good summary. NYC roads are the worst Iā€™ve experienced, so Iā€™m good with my 21ā€. I do think 22ā€ look the best šŸ˜€

    Placed your Macan EV order? Post your configuration! šŸ™‹šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

    I donā€™t want to worry you, and I havenā€™t driven the Polestar 2, but I have to say the ride in the Macan EV can be relatively firm. I had an ICE Macan before, and it was definitely a comfier ride. I have 21ā€ wheels btw.

    Interesting conversation with a Porsche dealership employee about his personal Macan EVā€¦

    I'm sure you won't regret it, and it's the trim with the best performance/price ratio IMO.

    Interesting conversation with a Porsche dealership employee about his personal Macan EVā€¦

    I'm not surprised by your Range Rover experience, I'm a little bit more surprised by Lexus. Honestly so far, the issues most people seem to have encountered with the Macan EV are minor. I personally had a software update problem, it got fixed, and for the past 1,000 miles I have had no issues...
