What's the order / delivery status of your Macan EV?

[bbmertz]

After two months of sitting at the Port of Baltimore, the 2024 Macan Turbo EV I ordered in March was finally released to the dealer today. After thinking about how badly Porsche handled this rollout and not feeling comfortable with the dealer's answers to my questions, I asked for my deposit back. I still plan to buy a Macan EV, but I will wait for 2025 in hopes that Porsche can get its act together.

Why not take the car now that the wait is over? Were you worried about it being exposed to the elements at the port for an extended period of time or that there are still outstanding defects?

Regardless, I’m sure others will be happy to buy it from the dealer since the Turbo is currently in such short supply.

I was mostly concerned with how the car was stored at the port. My decision was not meant to punish the dealer as I’m sure someone else will buy the car. I just think its best for me to wait out all of these issues and get a newer model year since the 2025s are going to be released soon.

The car was delivered to the dealer on 09/23.

Full payment was made on 09/25.

Delivery was scheduled for 10/01 but was canceled an hour before arrival to update the software.

To date, I haven’t received any communication from the dealer, and there is no delivery date

After 16 years of BMW I now ordered my first Porsche. Order placed on October 21, lock date December 1 and delivery at dealer around January 15.

not in relation to Macan or even being negative - having ordered 5 or more Porsche's over the years - be prepared to be flexible…that's been my take away.

Excellent thanks @wmras!
Now these 24” design wheels must be bumpy as hell.

The 24” wheels are not for those seeking a luxury ride on poor side streets or roads. On most freeways, they are fine. We ordered them only because of the Taycan-like style. They do sharpen the steering response and make Normal Mode drive like Sport Mode.

At PECATL, my instructor suggested staying in Normal every time I selected Sport or Sport+, but I think that was to save the tires from wearing out the inside sidewalls. The event Macan had the same 24” Design wheels on our delivered car.

I was pointing out that they're unlikely 24", most likely 21" or 22".
