I'm slowly talking myself into trading in a Tesla Model Y for a Macan EV. Of course, every time I go look at the configurator, I end up adding more options and the price goes up $2,000–$3,000. If I don't order soon, I will never be able to retire. ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
This would be my first Porsche, and the nicest car I've ever owned (next closest would be a BMW i3 my wife had for a few years). I'm looking forward to the better build quality and more spirited driving, but what attracts me to the Macan is the ability to make it more of an off-road vehicle than most EVs. Rivians and other trucks are not an option, because my wife wants to keep all our cars inside the garage. And by "off-road", I mainly mean bumpy, sometimes rocky Forest Service roads to trailheads, not rock-crawling or off-roading. I have abused the Tesla too much, and had to have the suspension fixed--it's AWD but no air suspension.
I'm particularly interested in these things I'm adding:
Here's is my latest build:

Oh, one final question, are the 18-way seats worth it, if I'm not going to track the car?

I'm particularly interested in these things I'm adding:
- Offroad Design Package
- Rear Axle Steering
- Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
- Compass Display on Dashboard incl. Porsche Off-Road Precision App
