Let me introduce my Macan 4 EV (Consumption & Photos Added)

[Jetced]

What was the temperature? Quite high consumption.

Around 10 degrees centigrade, and also some wind.
this Thursday early morning I’ll have a highway only trip to the airport. Hope to have a lower consumption. It came down since the pickup, hope to get to the low 20ies at 140ish on highway.

Hmm. Let us know! 26 for that trip is quite bad, even with some cold & very high speeds.

Thanks for your feedback @Daniel. Unfortunately I’ve done all the steps you suggested. Charge planned in the app and sent to the car. Checked yesterday afternoon that it was correctly received. The wall box (Gewiss single phase 7,4kW) and was correctly powered. The only think that I have to check is to not have selected a destination before. The charge was completed at 2:30 while it was planned to end at 3:30 (better this than the opposite). I’ll check again with my next long trip.

hello @Diego
After yesterday Taycan CT4-Macan 4 exchange at my dealership,in Grenoble 115km in the mountains north of my home, I partially charged the car last night, from 50 to 80%.
I charged with the PMCC that my salesperson finally gave me back ...

Like you, the charge started immediately after the beginning of the preferred hours ,10 pm, up to 80%, 1.5 p.m ,completely ignoring the departure time of the timer set at 6 a.m.

This is indeed a bug ...

On the other hand, the car is very good, happy with this change.
For this trip, returning from the dealership, departure 220 m altitude and arrival home 800 m, I consumed 19.3 kwh/100 km for 21 usually with the CT4 (CT4 16.8 kwh/km in the other way going to the dealership).
The consumption is very correct, the regeneration worked immediately without any running-in period.
The brake pedal attack is much sharper and stronger than the CT4.

My main regret is not having been able to change my 21-inch Macan Turbo for Macan design 21 or 20, because the car was built very early without my salesman warning me ? ...

Have a good week-end

EDIT
Just called the Product Genius of my dealer , for him this is normal, not a bug ...

Thanks for your reply @Daniel . IT's not a bug since in my case the charge started later (charge programmed in the morning for the next morning - 3:30 a.m. and it had to charge from 70 to 100%) It started around 10 o'clock in the evening and finished at 2:30). Someone suggested to check the manual (and I have to say I skipped that part, my bad) because the planned charge must be done without the connector inserted and without a destination selected on the nav (I had both thing on, my fault). I will check again.
Unfortunately Sales Agent are often unaware of the EV world. I would like to get in touch with someone at Porsche since (as happened in Tesla) the products have to grow otherwise they will remain sell a few car without any improvement...

PS: if you got your Macan 4 it's time to change your signature "on order: Macan 4)

Did you order the tow hitch? Any experience using it? Still debating if I should spec it and would be glad to hear some real reviews.

No I didn't spec the tow hitch, sorry

First “issue” and I don’t know who thank for…

First “issue” and I don’t know who thank for…

Oh damn, I’m sorry! ?

Did you find it like that after leaving it parked somewhere? Or did it crack as you were driving/something hit it?

 

[PrudentOcean]

I’m surprised the glass held together and didn’t shatter. Do you have the dual layer glass?

 

[Diego]

I’ve noticed when I arrived at home. There’s a small dent on the external part but the crack is inside the two glasses. I’ve already called my sales agent and we’ll have a call tomorrow to see what they can do. Not a big deal but it’s annoying …

 

[Diego]

Yes I've got the acoustic and tinted glass

 

[Diego]

Just got the estimate cost for replacing the side glass: 1100€ +VAT… 4/5 working days to have the spare part at my service location (not so bad - with Tesla to have my windshield replaced was a nightmare). Thermal and acoustic option increase the cost of the “normal” glass. Fortunately insurance will (should) take care of it ?

That's cool that they pull the cover off like that when you first see it in the showroom.

...my Porsche dealership says "Your car came in, it's out back, do you want us to wash it?"

 

[Diego]

Thanks @Station, I'm sorry that your dealer doesn't made its job as it should....
Got some car even more expensive than my 4 but never had something like this (and I loved it). All the process from order to delivery was smooth and with a lot of information from the SA (mine was the first delivered in Italy) . And even now each time I pass by the dealer the have a coffee and a test drive with the models they have (but for the moment I'm done with the Macan).
I think that this (customer care) is the only way to stay in the "premium brand" circle otherwise....

I exaggerated. My dealership details my orders and they're placed in a delivery garage bay, but it's never as celebratory as all these videos I see of deliveries.

But that's ok.
