Only US $6.5K less than the top-dog Turbo - ugh.

Glad the trip went well overall. Bummer about the chassis error, but hopefully that will get sorted soon... As I was reading, I couldn't help but think of how much more interesting (is that the right word? Maybe stressful/suspenseful...?) it is to read about CCS road trips than Supercharger...

?????? Enjoy your paperweight.

Quit insulting our intelligence. WTH would ANYONE EVER need to charge at 3 am in a “back alley”?!? They wouldn’t, ever, so quit with the straw men (or women).

Uh, yes. You have a $120K, 5,000 lb. paperweight because you made a bad choice. Blaming occasionally wonky CCS charging for your lack of understanding of your own use case (or apparently your wife’s anxiety issues) is laughable. and asking anyone else to commiserate with you about that is...

Right - you said decided NOT to buy a $50-$60K car (that you knew worked well for your use case) as a cheap beater, and then decided on a $120K car instead for the same use case, EXCEPT you really didn't research your purchase very well, by all appearances. You know what they say about fools...

The OP lost me when he stated that he bought a $120K EV SUV as a sort of cheap beater… Once that’s been stated, no further comments bear paying attention to…(IMO)

If an occasional extra 10-15 minutes of time spent when DCFcharging is a deal breaker, you should absolutely not buy another EV. OTOH, whatever ICE SUV you might choose will absolutely be worse to drive, slower, louder, cruder, more expensive to maintain and way less efficient, PLUS you’ll...

Although the AVAILABILITY of EA’s network has occasionally been a problem for us, its actual performance hasn’t been (ours is admittedly a limited data set) We’ve never tried any MB network chargers. The only non-EA stations we’ve used have been Tesla Superchargers and they immediately...

And this is exactly why I was asking the question and the point I was trying to make. ??

I read the entire thread but didn’t see that specific information. Is MB’s network 400V or 800V? A Google search was inconclusive on that… Has it been confirmed that the Macan EV is capable of charging faster than 130kW on MB’s network? Our (800V) Genesis GV60 is capable of up to 240kW, but...

But do SOME of your sessions hit higher peak speeds, and if so, what peak and for how long?

Yes, that's quick, but "10-80%" is missing context of what that means as far as range added in that time frame. I'll never understand why publications don't publish that information as well, especially since the test figures provide the numbers needed to calculate it... The Lotus adds 315 km...

Ugh -apparently queueing for a charge - :confused:

Any adapter will work, but not until Porsche/Audi/VW are officially supported by Tesla. There's been plenty of discussion, but no firm ETA for that yet.

Saw Motor Trend’s Jonny Lieberman at GVBC yesterday, arriving in a purple Macan EV Turbo (“Macan Turbo EV?”). Nice enough car, though thoroughly overshadowed by the Taycan Turbo GT Weissach Edition driven up by his photographer buddy Michael Shaffer…

Then you should by all means ignore the thread going forward. Win/win.

It's indeed likely that a small percentage of Macan EVs have these issues. What's interesting about the situation (to me) is that this is a repeat of what happened when the Taycan was introduced. Similarly, Macan EV is an entirely new platform, so teething problems are to be expected. The...

Interesting indeed…

The Macan EV is the employee’s dealer demo/loaner. I only shared it as an anecdote. Virtually every car forum has a similar thread about a new model being out of service for an extended time due to teething problems.
