Great report giving us hope that this type of range is achievable, supported by spectacular efficiency of 28.1kWh/100miles (94.9kWh usable by 28.1kWh would equal to 337 mile range). Perfect ambient temperature, and battery temperature (left tube), and regen sure helped in stop and go, but I...
All personal preference. My view is that Chalk/Crayon is the best exterior hiding exterior dirt and looks very premium in bright sun. I do not agree with Black interior, which to me is the worst, the best one to me again is the Chalk/Crayon Black dual tone that gives a nice balance. As far as...
This is expected given major global events. I have one for anticipated July delivery, but I am not even locked yet. I think we may not be seeing our cars for some time if global events do not calm down.
Thermal glass is much thicker as it is double glass with a film in between. As a result, it is much more sturdy on frameless doors for Macan EV and Taycan that significantly improves rigidity of the doors resulting in much better door closing and door closing sound. If you have 2 cars side by...
This is why I recommend for that reason alone to go with thermal glass. I have it on the Taycan that is frameless and the doors closing experience is superb. Do not have Macan EV yet, but ordered one with thermal glass for that reason.
Please see left tube, that is the most useful display of all and here is why, well this is a 2026 GTS so it has an extra goodie to the left that shows the max speed the battery can accept (given SoC and Battery Temp), but on the right you have battery temp and that bracket that shows you optimal...
Configurability is limited to Porsche heritage.
So you will see analog Speedo on the left and Tach would be center, etc. on ICE cars.
I would recommend using Battery info on the left, Speedo Center with Power meter center, then vitals on the right with 12v battery key, that is most useful to...
This has to do with brakes hardly used and in the dry air just getting sticky. You only have a couple of stops to make when regen is off after nonuse, so that is the time to really lean into the brakes. This almost needs to be a regular thing when you know the regen is off to give the pads and...
Tesla and Rivian stations are 400v so Macan EV will only max at 150kw by design. While the Macan can handle up to 270 kW on 800V chargers, it is limited to lower speeds on 400V V3/V4 Superchargers.
Pre-heating is essential to receive the max charging performance along the entire charging curve. Just driving the car, will NOT heat up the battery. Only if you use aggressive so called yo-yo method it may heat it up while driving.
These are optimal charging conditions, and the car is smart...
I agree. Anything is better than the PCM map for mapping, however, you need to point to the charger to initiate battery pre-heating and also PCM does a good job only listing supported Tesla chargers (they must be open to non-Tesla vehicles).
This is what corporate says that to me unrealistic in actual numbers (reduce them by 25% to make them reality), but may be useful in relative comparison to other models that we should know the real world numbers by now. I realize you want the real world GTS numbers.
Not much luck charging Taycan at Tesla as I did a test as I prepare to welcome Macan EV this summer. Have Porsche branded Adapter.
Both selectable from PCM and App and PlugShare shows that they support non-Tesla vehicles.
Station 1: Plug-n-Charge did not work after many minutes of the...
Keep us posted on the air filter and the steps. I do it on the Taycan but since I do not have the Macan EV (yet), I cannot make the step by step guide.
Glad someone is with me on the absolute cannot stand stick up pad trend that is way overdone and needs to go away. They had an opportunity to get rid of it once and for all, but instead they have doubled down on it, and had to make it a shape of who knows what -- so now that will be everywhere...
Modern and cool stuff, no question. They will sell a ton of these.
For me, not round wheel and stick up angled screen are not going to work as BMW continues this trend that I cannot overcome. Do not get me started on the exterior angles, front camera in the nose, etc. Anyone knows when we start...
