Not sure if my issue is similar to any of yours. It's only happened 3 times and occurs when I'm starting out, moving slowly and slightly feathering the brakes, in either forward or reverse (e.g. backing out of a parking spot or inching forward to clear traffic from a side street). I'm thinking...

Sounds like there are multiple noise issues at play in this discussion. Not sure if my issue is similar to any of them. It's only happened 3 times and occurs when I'm starting out, moving slowly and slightly feathering the brakes, in either forward or reverse (e.g. backing out of a parking spot...

Speed can be subjective and somewhat deceptive based on power delivery and operating environment. As others have found, there is a lot more play in the Macan pedal than Tesla Y e.g. Also, the Macan's suspension and quieter interior can serve to insulate you to speed. I'm amazed at how many times...

Please no more trashing Dave, he's already relinquished his membership. It's done, it's over. He'll figure out what went wrong with his analysis and we don't need to keep punishing him. Wish there was a way to end this thread so newcomers don't keep regurgitating old news. Let's move on!

Hey hope you like Chinese food because the way things are going, they are catching and surpassing us in more ways. Just recent surprises were DeepSeek and Xiaomi's SU7 trouncing a Taycan Turbo GT, home and away..... with a non-professional driver! Before you start slinging mud about their...

Poor Dave! I think that a little family dynamics were in play here. Have you ever seen Kathy so quiet? Pardon the armchair analysis but I think Dave realizes Kathy got the better car (and more expensive and prestigious) so he's unconsciously trying to level the playing field. What automotive...

People won't change until the pain of not changing exceeds the pain of changing. Porsche purists resisted SUV's and auto transmissions. Mr Market (+ government and common sense) will ultimately decide. Some will go slowly into the night, kicking and screaming. Enjoy your ride for as long as you...

Next time I buy in the Springs. San Diego: no buy rate MF and no lease acquisition buyout. Live and learn!

Wish I had been wiser about this but have learned for next time. I had been relying on the Configurator lease calculator, which I believed was accurate based on my specific build. Many hundreds of $ off. Dealer says "Oh, it's always off a 'few' hundred." So I went back with PFS buy rate and...

Gotta be a Proctologist

I'm getting my S next week and was quoted .0043 and residual of 56% on a 39 month/10K miles (or 65% for 24/10K). My Purchase price is $96K so not a lot of options. And my CR is over 800 but that doesn't seem to matter. What are others being quoted lately?

I'm supposed to pick up my S next week and they're quoting a MF of .0043 and a Residual of 56% on a 39 month/10K miles. The MF's I've seen in the Rennlist thread, while Porschesque, have been lower. I thought rates had been coming down. My S does not have a lot of options (Retail $96K before...

Great synopsis, thanks! I'm supposed to pick up my S next week and they're quoting a MF of .0043 and a Residual of 56% on a 39 month/10K miles. The MF's I've seen in the Rennlist thread, while Porschesque, have been lower. I thought rates had been coming down. My S does not have a lot of...

Same here, mine left Leipzig compound on 11/28 and isn't estimated to exit Emden port until 12/19. Why don't they do the updates in Emden while they're waiting to exit vs wasting additional time once they dock in the US? Must be that the US cars are incompatible with German wifi. :giggle:

Don't be distracted by the EPA number, they probably just assigned the turbo mileage because the S was a late comer. I'm sure the S will prove out closer to the 300 mile mark and you can always drive like your grandma initially to hit that magic number once and then file it away! Is anyone...

Once it has been determined whether this is a sloppy under/oversight or a purposeful workaround to compensate for some compromised issue in the electrical system (cars seem to be stuck in port or at dealerships for a surprising long time for software updates), perhaps an engineering-pride type...
