Yes, that is by design. The car always starts in Normal to which you cannot assign Sport Sound On. The point we are trying to make is that you have to either turn it on manually when in Normal or you have to flip it to Sport or Sport Plus with Sport Sound On setting saved in these modes.

This is how Porsche has designed it to work on all cars including ICE. Electric Sport Sound or Sport Exhaust Sound must be turned on manually or assigned to a driving mode that is not a default Normal mode.

I do not believe this is correct. 85F-90F is more optimal for fast DC charging rather than normal driving conditions when the battery discharges during use or charges via regen. The temperature that is more optimal for that is in a 68F-77F. However, the reason that the battery does not heat up...

FOD program is only available for 2020-2024 Taycans only with ACC to add Innodrive and/or ALK. Macan EV or new 2025 Taycans are not supported as this program has not been renewed.

I have pondered this issue and I think the work around is to use the Limiter function. The way the Limiter works is that it limits top speed as traditional Cruise would be, but I have not tested it. One creative application of the Limiter function is going down a long hill road where the car...

You cannot take this review seriously when someone uses summer tires on 22-inch wheels to make handling claims in 0C-5C weather. No system can overcome frozen summer compound tires in these conditions.

You are absolutely right. Taycan has Display SoC value shown and actual SoC with about 5% difference between the two (based on OBD data), meaning that Taycan has a pretty good buffer that Macan EV does not have. Therefore, it would be totally fine to drop SoC to 5% as part of the procedure and...

I am doing it every 5k miles and as a result after each rebalance I see a 2% increase in SoH. The reason for that is that the car reports SoH and Range based on the worst cell in the pack. Therefore, although this may not be a real increase in SoH and Range it keeps the cells balanced and...

Lots of science and discussion around this. Overall theme: The battery will outlive the car. Let the BMS manage it and do not worry about it, and if anything goes wrong then the battery warranty will cover it including intermediate degradation levels. However, if you want to maximize the...

My dealer ships them anywhere. They are piling up on the lot. Go get them.

Great review. I think you are missing out on the fun of Launch Control try it once and it may grow on you like the Sport Sound. Actually, it is very controlled and smooth in the 4S, so you will not be actually launching yourself.

One of the most basic unspoken rules, to never let dealer wash your car. It does not matter how it looks, let them do the minimum required to complete the PDI. Then take it directly to the PPF/Ceramic shop to be properly handled for cleaning, paint correction, PPF and ceramic coating. However...

This is a long standing classic Porsche option, but for the ICE cars like original ICE Macan, the difference between the standard (bright chrome inside the light) vs. in Black was dramatic in pictures and real life. This is not the case for very compact LED and DRL only lights in the Macan EV...

What you get is Exclusive Manufactur cosmetic treatment of the headlights that demands $530 for the privilege. Specifically, what you see in Blue will be in Black (from picturing stand point), which is plastic surround cosmetic treatment of the DRL lights. Exclusive Manufactur is cosmetic...

Not possible with PCM 6 in the Taycan or PCM 7 in the Macan EV. This still works in the current ICE Macan with PCM 5 and worked on the first ICE Macan released in 2015 with PCM 3.0/3.1. Also, you can just swipe the XM live feed bar to go to any point back, but not possible on the PCM 6 or 7...

I see the page that is very confusing and inaccurate because: - There was never a 60-minute free charging anywhere - EA is a partner but not an AC charging partner This is probably written by marketing, so they do not care to put it out there. The only accurate thing you have is your contract...

Internal docs state that this is on the roadmap but retrofit is probably unlikely. What is your use case and need for 19.2kW AC charging, which is rare.

Good correction as I was just speaking from Taycan experience assuming Macan EV will be doing the same.

^ I agree 100% and very helpful to understand the difference. The point of the experiment is to say that when departure time charging the battery gets warmer, which is more optimal for driving say 70F, vs. starting from colder ambient 50F. Full preconditioning of the battery to 95F may be...

The car tells you if the temp is ideal or not for fast charging. This is what this bracket on the right is for and 71F is short of being inside the bracket. This is from the 2025 Taycan launch docs. The part that somehow Macan EV is missing (may be added later) is on the left side, which is...
