    Both manual charge flaps not opening - Macan4

    welcome to the club! Although I do sincerely hope that it gets fixed asap, should be just some minor stuff. In my case it was the mechanism itself - it just needed lubrication (and some lovin)

    Both manual charge flaps not opening - Macan4

    wont sell it until June haha It’s a very good car overall, very convenient (when things do work) and tech oriented - it’s an allrounder of sorts, like the Swiss Army knife. Just not the greatest Porsche. If you get past these nuisances you will enjoy it a lot!

    Should I do it? Taycan 4S Cross Turismo > Macan 4S EV

    And here’s my total to date on the Macan4. far from optimal. Although I have to say I received the car late September and mostly drove it in October onwards - so already cold months. I think my long term Taycan CT average (previous gen) was 22.8kwh / 100km

    Should I do it? Taycan 4S Cross Turismo > Macan 4S EV

    Macan is a pretty cool allrounder / city cat - just picking up some dinner now, so nimble and no frills car. But it doesn’t have the vibe of Taycan at least for me

    Should I do it? Taycan 4S Cross Turismo > Macan 4S EV

    also while it drives phenomenally for an SUV; it’s still not the same feeling as throwing the Taycan into corners / doing high speed runs also since you come from Taycan4 CT- the Macan in low mode isn’t far higher than CT in lift mode. So getting in/ out isn’t a world of difference (on sedan...

    Should I do it? Taycan 4S Cross Turismo > Macan 4S EV

    Personally wouldn’t do it. Went Taycan 4CT 2023 into Macan4 2025 and now going back to Taycan, but gen 1.2 4CT and more options. To me the build quality of the Macan is just significantly cheaper feeling / experience wise than the Taycan was (see the threads)

    Both manual charge flaps not opening - Macan4

    not sure if a video can capture this well. Let’s just say that on a BMW i4 M50 I had or iX3 you just slightly pull the door when sitting down (or push away when exiting) and it closes shut with a nice ā€œthunkā€. On the Macan you need to keep pulling / pushing the door in same motion until It...

    Both manual charge flaps not opening - Macan4

    yeah done that but after a while it comes back will make pics of the lower door padding

    Both manual charge flaps not opening - Macan4

    Afraid this thread is going to decrease your resell value as well? šŸ˜‚ Sorry but it’s the truth (for me) and many members here share the opinion. Meanwhile I pulled the trigger on a new refresh Taycan 4CT as a replacement, with a deferred guaranteed trade in valid up to delivery date, so while...

    Both manual charge flaps not opening - Macan4

    It probably has better fit & finish than 90% macans out there from the extensive pics I've seen (panel gaps, charging flaps sticking out, etc)! So I'd position it more like - if you want a Macan EV, even with all the common flaws, its a better Macan than the majority :D

    Both manual charge flaps not opening - Macan4

    I have a number of issues in favour of this decision: - build quality interior - especially lower door covers (already pieces of material ripped and it turns out to be very thin film covering, i.e. the fake leather but its thinner than on a tesla, like 0.2mm film). - some rattles here and there...

    Both manual charge flaps not opening - Macan4

    Car is in garage at home and at work. Ambient temps today around +2/3c and no rain, snow or any freezing. So I really don't see any environmental conditions...

    Both manual charge flaps not opening - Macan4

    What a crap construction. So here's the story - after failing to open it I contacted Porsche (2 dealers in the Netherlands). One simply was overloaded with requests and told me to call back later (Amsterdam). Then my own one told me I should just rip open the cover in the trunk and pull on an...

    Both manual charge flaps not opening - Macan4

    Hi guys, not sure if this was posted before on the forum (tried searching and found only issues on electric charge flaps). Issue is - today all of a sudden neither of charge port flaps will open by pressing it. Tried locking / unlocking car, starting / shutting of car, pressing on the flap...

    Swap of my Macan 4 to this new 4S build - do or don’t?

    yeah that’s the premise. I had locked in a very high end of year discount on a new Panamera 4 e-hybrid, but im considering to swap it for a fully loaded 4S Macan, family choices - dealer is game, just waiting for their final confirmation. So basically it’s a pivot from changing Macan4 to...

    Swap of my Macan 4 to this new 4S build - do or don’t?

    yeah I need that 4 second 0-100 punch, cause now 5 seconds feels slow. I used to own the i4 M50 and Model 3 Performance, it did 3.8 sec and 3.4 sec respectively, which is way faster acceleration than the Macan 4

    Swap of my Macan 4 to this new 4S build - do or don’t?

    I’ll know that at the moment I put my Macan4 for sale. Porsche isn’t offering anything attractive on the trade in, but the market is relatively okay for Macans still, as the model is very new. Reckon I can get around €85K for mine back and new one with discount around €118K. So probably 33-35K hit.

    Swap of my Macan 4 to this new 4S build - do or don’t?

    Here’s the build, comments are welcome! http://www.porsche-code.com/PSZDDZI1 idea is to go from fairly basic Macan 4 build I currently own in Ice Gray to something of a statement build. Went with Oak Green Neo and 22ā€ Neodyme coated rims, around 33K of options Below is my current build I’m...

    Days away from 2025 Macan 4S...wondering if I made a mistake!

    Macan 4 owner and 0 issues. Although I’m only still at my first 1000km - didn’t drive that much as of yet, but plenty of short trips without any issues. This being said, my Taycan 4 had also very few issues. Maybe an occasional PCM reset, but that’s it

    Just received my 4S Macan EV in Slate Grey Neo -- first impressions

    Congrats! I wish they had released the 4S when I ordered mine… tried to change 4 to 4S but it was already locked for production. Can you time the actual 0-100 with launch control?
