    Tariff anxiety . . .

    Just looked in my area and there are plenty of 4, 4s and Turbo models in all 4 dealerships within 20 miles. So if you haven’t got one and are willing to compromise on config a bit for the sake of avoiding tariff price hikes, I don’t see an issue. Looks like they may have increased their...

    Just picked up my 4S - initial comments, reactions, etc. FYI - It was WORTH THE WAIT!!

    I don't think you are actually trying the acceleration. I have a 4S. What I have found is that the accelerator pedal is very gradual unless you really punch it.. in which case, it will trend towards 'close to whiplash'. I have a friend who has a Tesla model 3, he warned me about the...

    Loaded 4S or lean Turbo?

    It's always a personal choice .. but when I first looked at getting a Macan EV, I didn't have the choice of the 4S .. when I started the ordering process, they announced it. I quickly switched and have never looked back nor regretted it. I have a friend who got the Turbo and loves it but...

    Porsche supplied charger at 50% vs 100%

    I had exactly this same issue initially and could find no documentation in the Macan manuals. I did find the information on an earlier post in this forum. There is also no information in the manual that tells you how to identify the EVSE charger to the app. The only thing I can assume is...

    Range with 10% SOC

    So I am confused by this thread. If you watch the 'out of spec' videos on YouTube, they have taken the Macan 4 on extensive roadtrips setting the charge level arrival rates at charger stops at 7% on the route planner (even in 20 degrees F weather) and had no issues (Dave did an around 1800...

    Carplay and Wifi conflict

    I had noticed that already. I have the manual installed on my app but search is only ok and their terminology is sometimes obscure making simple keyword search difficult. Thanks

    Carplay and Wifi conflict

    I Have a netgear Orbi system. I could do that as well but it’s not as easy on the app as it is with eero. I’m waiting to get the Eero 7 mesh. I will wait till Porsche figures it out. They have a lot to do to the software. Maybe they’ll end up buying Rivian sooner than later. They need...

    Carplay and Wifi conflict

    Thanks. Once I saw your response, I figured that was the case. A bit like casting/airplay must use a WiFi connection. I remember reading also that the car can generate a hotspot also assuming Verizon can give us enough bandwidth (ha ha). Hopefully the car can also do, in the future, what...

    Carplay and Wifi conflict

    Thanks to you both. That makes sense. Didn’t realize they didn’t use BT to do that. Also makes clear why I can still connect my iPhone via BT to get phone and music but not CarPlay. I have only had wired CarPlay in the past. I’ll have to study a bit more about wireless CarPlay ...

    Carplay and Wifi conflict

    So whenever I have my car in my garage and connected to the house Wifi, carplay doesn't work. I can connect my phone to play music and use the phone functions but the Carplay function is not available. I know I've see this posted elsewhere as an issue in these forums. I have no clue as to...

    Macan 4S EV Detailed First Impressions

    Happy to answer: I did the reset on my own. I pressed the volume button down for the requisite number of seconds (I forgot the number >10?) but the car rebooted just fine and I was able to reset the number of accounts to just mine as the primary. There are a number of accounts (1 or 2) set...

    Macan 4S EV Detailed First Impressions

    No REGRETS: I've had many of the same issues with my 2025 4S (took delivery in late Dec). It took me about 4 days to actually get Plug&Charge to deliver a certificate after resetting the car and getting the feature to actually not be greyed out. I get the sense that their back end servers are...

    Macan 4S EV Detailed First Impressions

    Haven’t had some of these issues on my 4S yet although I have had issues with plug and charge. Had to reset and reboot the car and eliminate the dealer/port id. Then I had to wait almost 2 days for the certificate to be delivered after setting plug and charge to on in both car and app...

    DOLOMITE SILVER METALLIC Macan EV Photos Thread

    I have a Dolomite Silver 4S which I picked up last week. I have to say, the car blew me away when I actually saw it with the 21" wheels. I picked the Chalk/Black interior and the black flares on the outside .. It's gorgeous! No regrets at all. Not to mention that driving it is a blast...

    Macan 4S EV is a BLAST to drive

    I have owned multiple Porsches including a 2007 911 C4S Cabriolet, a 2017 Macan S, and now this Macan 4S EV. Once I got over the initial glitches (the usual -- the Plug&Charge was greyed out hence a complete reset, my CarPlay goes in and out, the charger was set to charge at 50% and finding...
