    Finally an admission - Axing Macan ICE was a faux pas

    This is the latest but agree not much different from September. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/other/porsche-s-outgoing-ceo-just-said-the-quiet-part-out-loud/ar-AA1TLe5l?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=W251&cvid=695eb003e1544e77b4e3b7dd92ffefff&ei=28 They screwed up by not innovating current Macan ICE...

    A Warning for Cold Weather and Low Batteries

    This is certainly unique to Macan EV. There is no such a thing for Taycan. I can drive it predictably to close to 0% in cold weather for rebalancing procedure to take place. 9% and completely dead regardless of weather is an indication that something is not right for any EV and based on several...

    [ADVICE REQUEST] 2026 Macan EV Build-Out

    Completely agree. - I did not call out center console, because I do agree that it is a premium touch that is close to the driver and passenger. - I have actually optioned B-pillar and Door sill in Leather on my Taycan and would not have it any other way, but the B-Pillar leather gets scratched...

    [ADVICE REQUEST] 2026 Macan EV Build-Out

    @pdealessandrini1930, glad you second me on the Bose. I tried several back to back Bose cars (Cayenne, Macan ICE, Taycan) and Macan EV Bose and by far it is the worst lifeless mess with no settings to help it.

    [ADVICE REQUEST] 2026 Macan EV Build-Out

    This is certainly very unique build, and I understand the theme that OP is going for but based on other cars owned, new to Porsche option packaging. Let me unpack a couple of things that may be helpful and focus on functional elements since cosmetics and colors are personal preference. - Base...

    Degradation of the battery

    Valid concern. Degradation is normal. This is directly from Porsche.

    Porsche PCM and set Departure in Winter - does battery get preheated ?

    All are correct, there is no such a thing to preheat the battery for optimal temperature by simply charging it on AC or being plugged in to AC. The technique that is used to heat up the battery in the cold winter conditions is to do a yo-yo method by accelerating and braking in succession to...

    90 days later - What I would have changed in my config (2025 Macan 4S EV)

    Many benefits, and for the cost, it is a great value. Is it a must, you decide if benefits below do not matter: - Smaller turning radius at slow speeds for parking and U-turns - Smoother curved road driving and cornering - Smoother lane changes at highway speeds RWS (or Rear Axle Steering) was...

    Macan Build Session

    This is for someone who is overwhelmed by the number of build options. I just met someone in a business meeting who considered a Porsche and when they walked into the showroom and had to make all these choices, then wait for it, no thank you, they turned around and bought a truck. I get it...

    How low do you go with battery before recharging?

    The only thing I would add is that I do a rebalance about every 5k miles. I think of it as a rinsing of the battery chemistry and allowing the electronics to rescan battery health and recalibrate everything with new numbers. The procedure it pretty simple. Otherwise to me, 50% SoC is the happy...

    How low do you go with battery before recharging?

    Lots of data about it and @daveo4EV is by far the most respected real world expert on this, so listen to the above. My own research convinced me that the best practice is to keep your battery near 50% when at rest, so I target to be at 50% at the end of the day, then charge it before a morning...

    2026 BMW iX3 revealed w/ 400 miles range to take on Macan EV

    Please send me a link so I can review and correct myself. Not sure what you mean by "graphics", I only speak when I have data.

    2026 BMW iX3 revealed w/ 400 miles range to take on Macan EV

    A lot of this sounds completely false: - Taycan loses almost 10% of SoH in the first 10k miles. We have a ton of data on the Taycan forum about it, but this is my own, which is consistent with others. Therefore, the claim of 98% of SoH is false after the years and miles you are noting. 2...

    2026 BMW iX3 revealed w/ 400 miles range to take on Macan EV

    I would like to understand why 270 speed is not good enough. I am good with 150 and on purpose set my Taycan to battery friendly to lower the speed. 300 speed heats the battery to over 130F and gives no advantage in overall time in charging from 10% to 80%. I am not seeing any value in 400, that...

    The Ambiguously Grey Turbo

    Distance to Destination and Battery Level are available as a pull down. See, the Nav overlay on the right with pull up arrow on the bottom. This is from the simulator, as I do not have Macan EV (yet), but it works similar on a Taycan that I do have. Also, there should be a Tube Trip menu that...

    2026 BMW iX3 revealed w/ 400 miles range to take on Macan EV

    They are doubling down on the ugly and asymmetric interior design, not learning from the butt ugly and stupid by name called XM like a radio, that no one bought. I guess they have conditioned all of their customers to get used to the busy and off center everything, screaming at you. My head was...

    90 days later - What I would have changed in my config (2025 Macan 4S EV)

    My view on your regrets. * 9Z2 - 115-volt Power Socket $160: This is an interesting input about 150W max, what things you are not able to use that need more. * KS5 - Augmented Reality Heads-Up Display $2530: Agree with this. I test drove one with it and it was a quick no, as it is mostly...

    How to check SoH

    Simple on the Taycan. OBD/CarScanner. EDIT per @tmrqs : and now available on Macan EV. Data of interest is SoH and Cell graphs with Temp, SoC, and Voltage. Also, you can calculate your actual Battery energy in kWh so you know exactly how much usable battery capacity you have after everything has...

    Terrific Charging Session: 283 kW charging yesterday

    I guess you missed my point above, while battery temp may be ok to be that high, other components will not hold up so much, like fans.

    Terrific Charging Session: 283 kW charging yesterday

    That Thank you for correcting me on the losses. My main point was that the EVSE cable does not get hot when I charge at 35Amps vs. 48Amps.
