  1. Official: Macan will be electric only - Porsche stands by earlier decision

    My take on this is that the current Cayenne ICE will be kept in production, presumably with significant updates and the new Cayenne model will be EV only. But we'll see later this year I expect.
  2. Official: Macan will be electric only - Porsche stands by earlier decision

    It was interesting that there was no mention of an electric variant of the 3rd crossover model but there will be ICE/Hybrid/EV versions of the new Cayenne as well as EV 718 models with the new EV Cayenne "in the starting blocks" whatever that means but presumably due quite soon. Porsche EVs...
  3. Official: Macan will be electric only - Porsche stands by earlier decision

    Porsche Financial Results 2025 "We are convinced that electric drive is a superior, more efficient technology" Citation - Porsche Financial Results Intro Statement: https://investorrelations.porsche.com/en/annual-call-2025 32min 20s They also make clear throughout that whilst electric...
  4. Charging from solar

    I don't charge from the solar panels at all. Any excess solar is sold to the grid for 15p/KW and I charge my car from the grid over night at a cost of 7p/KW.
  5. Annoying rattle/knock when going over bumpy road

    Any chance your rear right rattle is simply the rattling wheel nut tool issue identified by Out of Spec Dave at around 1min40sec in the video:
  6. Latest OutofSpec Dave review - not good

    VW has purchased the Rivian EV Architecture and it will likely show up in products in a few years time. I expect Porsche will be able to adopt it too at some point, maybe in a heavily revised Macan a few years from.
  7. Macan EV Key Fob - photos

    Please report back.
  8. Placed your Macan EV order? Post your configuration! 🙋🏻‍♂️

    The increase approach angle is why I selected it. Not sure whether I think it looks better or not although the full off road package painted in body colour does look great in the configurator. But everyone has a different view and that's what's so great about this forum.
  9. Placed your Macan EV order? Post your configuration! 🙋🏻‍♂️

    You can option just the offroad front bumper and it's quite cheap £200 in the UK. That's what I've gone for.
  10. Macan EV Key Fob - photos

    I think I'd be a customer too if it could stop the frunk button working. Not sure this would be viable though. Maybe a 3d printed plastic cover for that button would work....but then the leather cover wouldn't fit. Problems problems.
  11. Serious Design Flaw - No easy access to vehicle if 12v battery is very low

    That's comforting to hear and what I'd expect.
  12. Serious Design Flaw - No easy access to vehicle if 12v battery is very low

    That's the key question that we don't seem to know the answer to. From others experience in the previous pages, the answer might be No and the Macan will simply let the 12V battery go flat even though the HV battery has plenty of charge. If this is the case then I might have loads of problems as...
  13. Serious Design Flaw - No easy access to vehicle if 12v battery is very low

    I'm not convinced this problem will be due to Comfort Access - surely this will switch off after a few days of the car being parked up. Certainly my wife's EV (not Porsche) does this and we've left her car for 7 weeks without issue although you do need to use the fob buttons wake it up and...
  14. Is chrono plus really necessary on the Turbo?

    So does that mean I can use switching to Sports+ mode to heat the battery when out on a long journey and decide to stop for an unplanned break/charging.
  15. Is chrono plus really necessary on the Turbo?

    The spec for the Chrono plus option in the Porsche configuration tool includes: "Sport Plus mode with performance-oriented chassis tuning, Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) and temperature control of the battery" Perhaps this might be referring to better battery cooling and not heating? Or...
  16. Is chrono plus really necessary on the Turbo?

    I'd missed that you can do this with Chrono Plus optioned - I had thought there was no way to manually initiate battery conditioning on the Macan. Where does the option to start battery conditioning appear?
  17. Is chrono plus really necessary on the Turbo?

    Thanks for confirming the sports and sport+ settings can be saved - I thought they could although I already knew the Normal mode setting changes doesn't save.
  18. Is chrono plus really necessary on the Turbo?

    I've optioned the chrono plus on my Macan 4 primarily for the aesthetic - I think it looks great and the dash a little bare without a clock; the compass option could work too and is a little cheaper. I'm also hopeful that the extra sports+ setting that comes with chrono plus can be...
  19. Silverstone UK - experience day - anyone got their invitation yet?

    Ordered my Macan in mid October, got the Porsche Experience invite early November even though I won't be receiving my car until early April. Will definitely be booking the experience shortly after I get the car.
  20. [Poll] - Porsche charging specification lie? Macan is not allowing 11 kW max charge rate - capped at 40 amps? 9.6 kW max rate.

    That's the Standard Equipment list but in the Technical Data section (Macan EV) for the USA it states: But for the UK Configurator it states: There are similar differences for the Taycan. Why has Porsche removed the 11KW charge rate timing from the USA specs?
