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

[tmrqs]

There are reviews that I like to watch that give a more qualitative assessment of a vehicle. Everyone's opinion varies so nice to hear the different viewpoints. However, I find videos like this just create anxiety after I've already plopped down a deposit and put my order in. Yes, its good to be on the lookout for large scale issues before taking ownership; however, none of us are getting any concession on price for a millimeter discrepancy in the panel gaps. It only just gets me obsessed with small details that only I will ever see.

OutofSpec is a business, they need the views. Don’t worry about it, your car will look great!

Totally agree... there is nothing wrong or nefarious about what they are doing. They are giving us literal measurements. It's just not something I personally care to dive deep into.

Or you know what to look for at reception and if they bother you, maybe get them fixed or noted so that they can adjust the panels that needs fixing, really like the hood should be adjusted …

Kyle's videos run long all the time with helpful information but no clear structure.

100% agree, not going to say this meeting could have been an email, but most of their videos are way too long for the amount of unique information you can find in them.

Out of curiosity, I looked at my own car’s build quality after watching the video. While most of the issues they find were not present on my car, I do have to agree that the panels alignment and gap between front and rear doors is inferior to what I recall on my previous Porsches. It may be a first series thing too.

Overall, I still love the build quality, nothing like what I’ve seen on other car brands starting with T.
