What did you think about off-road mode? Every time I've turned it on, I've found it to be incredibly bouncy. I assume it's not meant for roads - really just meant to be used on slow-ish, rough trails?
I have only used it on a pretty rough track and it worked well. I guess you have more suspension travel to smooth out the bumps and I was grateful for the extra ground clearance over the centre bit of the track. I didn’t hear any scrapes 😀. My default setting is sport on road, I find normal a bit wallowy. Completely different to the adaptive on my 440i, which I very rarely use in sport as I find it way too hard. Might be the benefit of the air suspension I suppose.

Traded my 2021 Taycan 4S for a 2025 Macan Turbo Electric! The performance of this Turbo is intoxicating!

Living in a concrete jungle, your home's surroundings and wide open spaces are truly breathtaking. Congrats on the lovely car too 🤩

Electric Macan EV Random daily Macan EV photos - post yours! 🤳 IMG_9490

No artistic merit, just to show what the earliest-ever swap to winter tyres (tires if British English offends) looks like.

The least expensive wheel option (not cheapest, just least expensive).

Early swap due to trip timing and habit of the RCMP to wait on our highway home at the start of next month.

But of course the all-season tyres fitted would have passed inspection (I now realise) so I’ve jumped the gun unnecessarily (it’s 22C here!)

Anyway, I quite like the bluff appearance of these wheels.

We have the Ice Grey Metallic 4S. Totally impossible to get the body colour on the iPhone. And yeah - not too concerned about range and dumped the stock rims. Unrated option for me is the blue accent for the headlights - they add that small unique touch that is totally subtle but still obvious.

Did you get the Porsche logo in blue on the back? If I had gone Ice Grey Metallic, the plan was to do the blue accents as well. Though, my SA said don’t do blue seat belts (I was ready to!) because they show dirt over time.

Blue taolight lettering is an expensive Porsche option. Without it, the lettering is standard white lettering on all but the Turbo models, the latter getting black lettering standard.

As to your SA’s pronouncement that they do not recommend blue seat belts because they show dirt over time, I have had light blue seat belts on two vehicles and they did not any dirt over many years of usage. Of course, maybe the SA’s has some customers who eat pizza slices in one hand while using the remaining one on the steering wheel. And if he expressed concern about the Arctic blue seat belts, what about the Limestone ones and the Chalk ones. Sarcastically, maybe he/she thinks we should only get black seatbelts….

Nope, did not get the blue back logo. Found that a little too "EV" and overstated for the porsche brand (personal choice). I have the chalk beige extended leather and paired that with same coloured seatbelts. We do not have kids so its going to remain clean 😌

Agreed. My SA tried to get me to go blue logo and even had it selected for a bit, but at the final config I removed it.

Thanks to InnoDrive, I was eating my breakfast sandwich in the car this morning with no hands on the wheel! 😆
