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 the Porsche are just incredible. It costs more, but it's worth it.

If I’m not mistaken, you can add InnoDrive after receiving your Macan EV. It just requires a payment to enable the feature.

As a tech enthusiast, I’ve always appreciated Tesla’s technology. However, as a car enthusiast, my interest in Tesla faded after test driving the Model 3 and Model S. These cars are not true luxury vehicles. If you’re fine with the quality of most Japanese cars, Tesla could be a great fit for you. But if you truly enjoy cars and value premium materials and an exceptional driving experience, German (Audi, BMW, Merc and Porsche) cars will likely serve you better.

the Model s I have is the 2021 redesigned model s. Honestly I love it. The size of the car. The looks of,it. From behind it has some resemblance to the panamera with the wider rear wheels. The practicality and convenience is impressive. The center arm rest storage and the wireless cellphone center placement are very convenient. The center huge touch screen and all the entertainment and music options and the navigation and how you can share addresses from google map amd Apple Maps is way more advanced than car play. The full self drive is insane!!!!!! The drive is very nice very fun freaky fast and very precise and accurate steering. However the steering feels numb Just like a joystic.
tht said the problems are
very cheap materials inside and out. door insulation and finish and build quality are horrible. Even the floor mats are very very cheap The wipers the blue tooth the lights are very very inferior quality. The hvac floor vent is stupid warm air comes only from center. in cold weather I have to keep both feet towards the center. The insulation is horrible the foot Area is always freezing. The squeaks and Rattles are horrible. Not renewing The car looks and design makes the car become stale and boring.
i feel The car is too fast for the it’s body and brakes to handle!

Unfortunately what @fsabek wrote is true... and this is one of the reasons I turned apart from Tesla for my next car. Tesla got amazing updates (almost one a month), a lot of power (but there are also some limits...), new features "activated" a 2 years after I purchased the car with no cost (i.e. Matrix light) BUT low quality interior (cheap materials that got ruined in a few months, rattles coming from the back seat). In addiction MS and MX are too big from me (on the Alp we have narrow "Mountain Roads" not so nice to drive with a 5 meters long car…) and so I chose a less than 5 meters car from a well known and prestigious brand: since I wanted an EV car with high position driving the only premium solution I liked was the Macan (not in love with Audi EV SUV and the BMW i3 is proposed only as a rear-wheel drive here in Italy - not so nice to drive it on snow).
Now let's hope that my SA called me since they have my car since last week and no one knows something for sure about the delivery..... 🤞🤞🤞

I am so excited and hyped up and can’t wait. Stopped by the closest Porsche center and found this beauty parked at the front. 😍

Are you able to view your window sticker when you log in from your browser (I don't know if the app would show it regardless)?

thank you! Just confirms that once the vehicle ships to the dealer, the window sticker IS available, further supporting the fact that my poor car is still waiting at port to be picked up.
