    California Macan Electric Owner's Events

    My original delivery date was moved from Dec to January... ugh! I'm sure it will be worth the wait, though.

    What's the order / delivery status of your Macan EV? [Update your status if/when it changes]

    My 4S is scheduled to leave on Friday. The SA said he would send me the name of the ship so I could track it. Original delivery date was 12/20 and pushed back to 1/2/25.

    [Trip Report] - I'm peddling as fast as I can to generate electrons… PEC ATL to Santa Cruz in a Macan EV Turbo?

    Daveo4EV, I've enjoyed your posts and watching your journey across country. You have more courage than I would. Thank you for allowing us to follow your adventure!

    What's the order / delivery status of your Macan EV? [Update your status if/when it changes]

    Looks like my 4S may be delayed a couple of weeks. Per the SA, the car is at the port in Germany for shipping, which is scheduled for 11/29. Original delivery date was estimated at 12/20, then moved up to 12/13, and per the update I requested today, back to 1/2/25.

    Thoughts After a Month & 1500 Miles With My Macan Turbo EV, Coming From Tesla Model S

    I have a Model 3, which I do like a lot. It felt zippier and more nimble than my base RWD Taycan. We have a Cayenne e-hybrid now which is just too big (although it is FANTASTIC on road trips). I think the size of the Macan is going to be just perfect.

    Software updates delaying delivery.

    I couldn't get anyone from the PS dealer to return my calls (the original person did respond via email after 9 days). I went to Riverside and ordered mine. My guess is they don't have a ton of volume so they may not have staff to accommodate or know exactly what to do.

    Dealer "options" (ceramic coating, UV window film, wheel warranty)

    Hello Fellow Palm Springer! If you want ceramic or window tinting, I would just use a third party shop. When I bought my GTI years ago, I opted for the dealer to do the tint. They just farmed it out to a local shop (and took their cut for arranging/delivering it). I did ceramic on my Tesla...

    Porsche Macan EV Build Quality And Deep Dive! Not What We Expected...

    Wow! I picked mine up in December 2020. It was parked right out front of the dealer. I went in. I signed literally one piece of paper and the SA said to take my time to check the car out, hook up my phone and head out when I'm ready. If I needed anything, let him know. I was in and out in...

    Porsche Macan EV Build Quality And Deep Dive! Not What We Expected...

    I agree with Diego. When I bought my Tesla in late 2020, so many people on the forums said I needed to take his long checklist of things to look out for. The only thing I found was a little spec of something in the paint (about the size of a grain of sand). People said the paint is bad. I...

    Pet peeves

    We have a '22 Cayenne that goes into Privacy Mode at least once a week. At first we thought it was if you locked with the fob. However recently it's happened while the car was unlocked in the garage. It's REALLY annoying. I have to keep reminding myself that we are buying these because they...

    Plug & Charge at Electrify America

    Also, if you are at Electrify America and one of the stations isn't working, often you can just call EA and they will reset the charger. I charged my Taycan a handful of times while I had it at Electrify America and had to call on at least three different occasions. Takes about 15 minutes...

    Macan 4S Estimated Delivery Date Pushed Back ~3 Weeks

    Just checked with my SA in So Cal. Original delivery date for my 4S was 12/20. Now it's 12/13. OP, I wonder if you had the thermal acoustic glass option? From what I've read there are some delays with that option. We had that on our build but took it off when we heard about the delay.

    Post dealerships / locations with Macan EV available for public viewing 🙋🏻‍♂️

    I drove one last Friday at Porsche Riverside (Southern Califorina). They had one for test driving and one in the showroom.

    Options not available (Sept 2024)

    Funny I was at Porsche Riverside just Friday and asked about the thermal guess since I read it was unavailable currently on both forums. The sales guy (a sub as my guy was out of town) didn't have any clue. "Not that I've heard of." Amazing how the community seems to find more info than many...

    Meet the all-electric Macan EV at a Porsche Experience Center (free!)

    We have the compass/altimeter in our Cayenne and I really like it. I'm no boy racer so Sport Chrono doesn't matter to me. I think over the year I had my Taycan, I tried Sport+ twice. I added the compass option to my Macan (which is cheaper than Sport Chrono too).

    I've Got My Lease Options: What's the verdict?

    I haven't leased in a long time, but I think this is a standard lease agreement. If you buyout early, assuming your account is current, you would pay the residual value plus the remaining payments, minus the rent charge (so the remaining depreciation). So if you lease the car for $100k, your...

    GENTIAN BLUE Macan EV Photos

    My Taycan was Gentian Blue, and I received more compliments on the color than any other car I've had. I'm going with blue on the 4S. Now... chalk or black interior... these decisions are tough!

    Our Porsche Macan EV Turbo Test Drive Review: Resultant Eliminated Options

    What a great review! I went with the 14 way plus massage. On the fence about the insulated glass as the car will be the desert a lot of the time. My build locks 9/26 so if there is still an availability problem I may skip it. I had sport sound in my Taycan. Used it once or twice. I prefer...

    Expecting delivery in few days in Chicago suburbs

    I have a Model 3, and just sold my Taycan (to pay for the Macan). I always say, the Tesla is a computer first and car second. The Porsche is a car first and a computer second. The tech in the Porsche isn't nearly as good as the Tesla (in my opinion) but the fit/finish/drive characteristics of...
