    Macan 4 now or 4S in 5 months?

    Hey Jeff, yeah that might be fun but I not that intent on making my point. I will add though, that the drive coach I had at PECLA did tell me that my 4 would handle the same as the turbo I was driving there, except that mine does not have RWS. I'll look for you in the Santa Cruz mountains...

    Macan 4 now or 4S in 5 months?

    I have driven both, quite hard, and stand by my assessment.

    Macan 4 now or 4S in 5 months?

    Your choice really depends on how you drive. If you sprint from light to light and want and can handle that extra push coming out of corners on a mountain road then get the 4S. I have had my 4 for 2.5 months and I find it has plenty of power to have fun in the hills, and even racing to the...

    Road Vibration Felt In Cabin

    Thanks for the tip on road force balancing, I had never heard of that but after reading about the problems it solves it may solve mine.

    Road Vibration Felt In Cabin

    It is not a balance issue. It is a vibration felt at lower speeds not a shaking at high speeds. I will take it in and have a tech drive along. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Road Vibration Felt In Cabin

    In the almost 6 weeks that I have had my Macan 4 there has been a persistent vibration in the cabin that is coming from the road. This vibration is felt by my foot on the accelerator, by my hand on the center console, and it even rattles my coffee mug, there is no noticeable tire noise. I...

    Moist in the daytime running lights

    My neighbor’s car, built two after mine, delivered a week after mine, parked outside in the same neighborhood as mine, has condensation in both running lights and I have none. Saying this condensation is normal and acceptable is nonsense. But go ahead and believe some Youtuber because we know...

    Moist in the daytime running lights

    Those of you saying water on the inside of a headlight is normal are making excuses for poor assembly. I have had many many cars and the only time water was ever on the inside of a headlamp is when the lens was cracked or a seal was leaking. It cannot be normal and expected because the water...

    Moist in the daytime running lights

    Moisture in the lights, or anywhere else in the car, is neither normal nor good. In the lights it could lead to corrosion of the electrical contacts. Mine don’t fog up but I did see a 4 a neighbor has that has fogged up running lights so maybe an assembly error.

    1000 miles in my Turbo

    You are driving a Porsche, so drive it, if you want the car to drive itself drive a Tesla or a Cadillac. My Macan EV will not have lane keep, one because I like to drive and two because this tech, like all self-driving tech, is flaky.

    My first, absolutely freezing, road trip

    As I've learned while driving EVs since 2011, driving fast on long trips does not save time and costs more due to more frequent charging events.

    The One reason I did not get the Macan 4 and ordered the 4S

    Side question, you said your 4S is being delivered next week. The 4S has only been available to order for maybe two months, no? I ordered my 4 in July and it won’t be delivered until late December early January. You seem to be getting your car after only a couple of months while I’m waiting 6...

    Annoyance: auto dimming high beams only start at 40 mph?

    I think a lot of you fellas on this forum have grown soft with all this tech in the cars. When I’m driving I’m fully involved, meaning I turn on and off my high beams, I turn my head when in reverse, I fully control the climate settings, never auto, including having the ac off most of the time...

    Dashcam installation issues -- fuse box location?

    Your installer is wrong, the CAN buss cannot power a camera, or anything else. CAN is used for high speed communication between controllers and devices and sensors. The prewire definitely has 12v for a camera.

    US Porsche PMC+ Tripping GFCI Breaker on 120v outlet

    daveo4EV has the right idea; if the actual circuit breaker is not tripping it is not an over current and is probably a issue with the GFCI itself or how the charger is interacting with the GFCI. If the GFCI is old or an off brand try changing it out for a Leviton.

    20 vs 21 inch wheels - thoughts / opinions?

    90% of the people buying a Macan EV will not notice the performance difference between the 20s and the 21s. But the 20s will, supposedly, give you a little better range and will be quieter and better off road.

    Dashcam installation issues -- fuse box location?

    Is there some reason people are not opting for the Porsche dashcam with factory installed wiring?

    wheel / tire sizes and range

    When you live in the western US, as I do and destinations hundreds of miles apart, range is a top priority.
