Placed your Macan EV order? Post your configuration! 🙋🏻‍♂️

Hello, I have a black Taycan 4S CT and red interior. I ordered a Macan 4S for January 2025. I can't choose the color... Volcano Grey or Dolomite silver? Silver allows you to better see the contrasts with the black elements and less dirty. Volcano Grey is more classy and the combination with the beige interior is rather pretty..

Based on the 2 configurations, who can help me choose?

Thanks

I saw both Dolomite and Volcano this week in a same yard, I posted photos in Showroom threads. Both colors looks different in real life than you see in configurator, however the cars were in shadow. Dolomite silver has some bluish hue in the color and you can see car's shape very clearly. If looks somehow more unique than Volcano grey. With Volcano color there are a lot of reflections, but the color is deep and yes it is classy. But in the car I saw and posted, I was missing some contrasting elements. Maybe the black glossy side blades gives it... From these two I preferred Dolomite, and now I'm struggling between it and Slate Grey Neo

Thank you for your opinion

It is true that the silver dolomite has blue reflections that are not very pretty in my opinion..

A real light gray at Porsche is the gray GT silver ..

So what is possible to do is to order in Volcano and possibly place a GT silver covering after receiving the car...
This avoids the PTS color option at €10,000 ;-)

After going back and forward on a few things, and having seen some Macans IRL, I finally decided on this (black-themed) configuration: Porsche Code
Pretty happy with this config, not too exuberant, focussed on the things that I value. Now I have a few weeks to enjoy and say goodbye to my Taycan and by the beginning of December, this black beauty should be on my driveway!

Full Black! It's beautiful and congratulations

For my part, I'm tired of the black and I'm changing to the volcano with a light interior .. maybe I'm getting older?..

This is the build I'm leaning towards to replace my Taycan Turbo S. My SA says they're not making a lot of Turbos, so I guess I could be waiting a while. I've saw a few cars in Oak Green Metallic when I went to pick up my wife's Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid, and I love it.

I originally was playing with carbon for the side blades too, but I actually think the external color blades look great in this color. Plus, I think it would detract from the carbon on the wheels.

I also think the deviated centers work great in this combination. Pretty happy with this

Nice color and option choices. I agree with your sentences: “I originally was playing with carbon for the side blades too, but I actually think the external color blades look great in this color. Plus, I think it would detract from the carbon on the wheels.”

The blade carbon fiber’s “weave spacing” is different there than on the CF wheels and that’s why while we had the carbon fiber side blades on our earlier configurations, we long ago removed them and are also going with the body colored ones.

Porsche Code

Very similar to my second Taycan. Very classy combo, all the sporty options, some nice QoL options.

I'll probably aftermarket wheels at some point. Ice Grey over Biege is so nice. Big fan of Neodyme with that combo as well. I played with different combos but really don't like the color options, think it's a weak release slate. Hoping by the time a GTS comes out it'll add some neater combos.

Ordered! V200 status with estimated delivery date (to dealer) of Nov 22nd. I have a few days before it moves to V210 (where I believe order can no longer be changed) but I think I'm set on the configuration: PSHGCES8 (https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PSHGCES8)

Does anyone know what the difference is between "Exclusive Design Taillights" and the standard taillights? The previous description said something about going/leaving home light animation but looks like that wording has been removed.

The current description says brake lights are blacked out... the thing is, every picture of macan ev I've seen has blacked out brake lights, so does that mean every picture is showing a Macan with Exclusive Design Taillights optioned?

I spent some time around the Volcano Grey in PEC Atlanta last month, it's a dark deep luminous grey that is elegant while giving a more aggressive look to the car. Slate Grey Neo however is my first choice ;-) A very unique color, saw it on the new hybrid 911 GTS.

This is great question and I'm still trying to fully understand the differences (my build locks on Sep 15th). I believe all models have taillights that are "blacked out" with some clear sections that light up, however the Exclusive Design Taillights (I assume you mean the "LED incl. Tinted Light Strip" option Code 8VZ) changes the light source of the long horizontal light bar (near the top of the bar above the PORSCHE lettering) to an LED matrix that can be "animated", and I believe the lens is tinted rather than clear. It's difficult to see in these photos but the Provence Turbo has the standard taillight and the Oak Green Turbo has the LED incl. Tinted Light Strip (Option Code 8VZ):

Thanks for shedding some “light” on this haha

Yes I checked the option codes and we are talking about the same option. In USA it’s recently changed to “Exclusive Design Taillights” and it’s available in black or blue.

Appearance-wise, it’s so similar to the standard option that it leads me to believe the premium is solely for the programmable LED.

But the description says the function is identical to standard taillights, so that means it’s a $1k upgrade for some flashing lights when I lock and unlock the car? How programmable are these lights exactly…

My freeze date is also fast approaching and I’m leaning towards not optioning this given your findings, how about you? Thanks!

I've ordered a Gentian Blue Metallic Macan Turbo that is current scheduled to be delivered next week! My dealer says it is the only Turbo allocation they have this year. I placed the order on January 25th this year, shortly after the announcement. They confirmed yesterday for me that the arrival date has not changed in the system and the dealership has been contacted by the transport trucking company so it looks on schedule at the moment. They say even after it arrives they will still need permission from Porsche to deliver it to me and they say that is pending some sort of software update.

I tried to configure it with all the interesting goodies including the 22" RS Spyder wheel in Gentian Blue, Bordeaux and Black leather interior, rear axle steering, sport chrono, augmented reality heads up display and the passenger display. Excited for its arrival!!

Hello

The LED animation consists only of an appearance of the light from the center to the outside when unlocking the car and vice versa when locking it

Here is the tracking sheet from the dealer. Apparently it has been sitting in a parking lot in Rhode Island since the end of July!
