My assumption is the tires require the XL rated variant for the heavier load due to the batteries. Looking at the Bridgestones now they are very clearly marked extra load.
It was also true for my Tesla Model X. On that vehicle I picked Pirelli Scorpion Zero Assimetrico XL for year round use and...
My lottery result is Bridgestone 22" from the factory
Now I'm wondering what the best brand choice would be for the winter tires which I do have a choice on....hmmmm....
Ah yes @tmrqs I did not see that feature in the Porsche app!
For that trip it says 1:31 duration, average speed 52 mph, 2.6 mi/KWh
Surely there were a fair number of bursts where I was at ~85mph
Certainly this was not scientific measurement but a very good measurement against my average...
OK real world Macan Turbo range results today:
I started with the Porsche recommended 80% charge and the car showed 227 miles/365 km range that is 2.83 miles / 4.55 km per percent of charge
When I got home there was 49% remaining charge with the car showing 131 miles / 211 km range remaining...
The neck-wrenching sheer power of the Turbo is SO impressive! It makes it even more of a BLAST to drive. 630 HP and 830 lbs/torque and you can feel the G's big time when you step on the accelerator. I had a Tesla Model X (and plenty of Porsches as well) which has impressive acceleration but...
Thanks! You figured out my intentional superman color scheme! :clap:
Yes it is in fact Glacier Ice Blue rear tail light logo. I wasn't completely sure how well it would look but in real life it works and really pops. It was an option on the configurator.
Gentian Blue / Bordeaux Red Macan Turbo EV Delivered Monday.
This is one VERY sweet ride with a lot of get up and GO! :like:
I do think it is odd that nowhere on the outside of the car does it say "Macan" only "Turbo" on the back and sides. I wonder if I messed up the order? The sales rep says...

A little frustrated that...
Great progress today! successful software update on the Turbo! They actually let me take it out for a while - drives like a Porsche and the turbo has impressive neck straining power. Committed to deliver it to me on Monday afternoon. :clap: Rear axle steering and AR heads up display are sweet...
Just stopped by the dealer and they still are unable to get even the first of the 3 software updates installed on the Turbo - they crash the equipment and the install fails.. The tech says maybe sometime next week Porsche can get this resolved. sigh.
Also there is an RO from Porsche that the...
My Turbo came in on Tuesday morning. Now it's Friday morning and they are still working through the 3 software updates - and I know this team is very good. Sigh.
There is also a module in the frunk area they say needs to be replaced but thankfully they have it in stock.
:please:🤞
Looks like the included one is 40 amps. The Tesla wall mounted is 48 amps. Ford offers an 80 amp wall mounted for the F-150 lightning. There are also 80 amp wall mounted chargers available on the market. Does anyone know if the 80 amp chargers work with the Macan EV? I assume it would?
EV Turbo I ordered the beginning of March was just dropped off at the local dealer. It's been sitting in a Porsche parking lot at their port of entry in Davisville Rhode Island since the end of July and now finally here! There is now a light at the end of the tunnel!
Our Turbo was scheduled to be delivered today but shipping from the port (where it has been sitting since July) got pushed to mid next week. There are still 2 do not deliver to customers blocks from PCNA in the system for Turbos.
The dealership (Boston area) has received 2 4's in the last 2...
On my Tesla I have never reached the EPA rated range. Hopefully Porsche is the opposite.
The local Porsche dealer GM responded
My Taycan shows 192 on the sticker and I get 255-298 max It’s really based on the driver and how it’s driven. I can drive it like a maniac and get only 150 miles to...
