You’re not the only one: https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2024-porsche-macan-4-electric-too-expensive-long-term-update.html

Ironically, and neatly illustrating my point, the base Macan 4 cylinder is the best-selling version, despite what any enthusiast might want or prefer.

Because heaven knows, Macan buyers aren’t shopping for badge prestige… ??? /S The bottom line is actually that the Macan EV is 15-20% more expensive than its ICE sibling.

Except it’s NOT just the lower trims… The “top of the line” Macan EV Turbo also starts at $16K+ more than the “top of the line” Macan GTS ICE…

$10-$16K difference in lower end trims:

EVs are almost always more powerful and faster than ICEV competitors. Many buyers wouldn’t consider ANY 2WD CUV (especially a RWD version) so that disqualifies the base Macan EV for them. Twist it any way you want - the Macan EV is much more expensive than the ICE version, and IMHO that is...

Not really true, because there’s no 2WD ICE Macan, unlike the base Macan EV RWD.

Which part don't you see? Model for model, the Macan Electric is $12-$15K more expensive than the ICE Macan: https://www.edmunds.com/car-comparisons/?veh1=402032549&veh2=402048827&veh3=402032546&veh4=402048830 That's ~20% of the purchase price, which is significant difference to many buyers...

The Macan EV is significantly more expensive than the ICE version. If they were closer in price, the Macan EV might be an easier sell.

Welcome and enjoy! I had an S4 myself (B8) at one time - loved that car, but I like my EV even more!

That sounds odd - it should maintain ~125 kW past 80%. Our ‘23 GV60P maxes out at ~97 kW at Superchargers but maintains that through 80%…

It's maybe worth highlighting that your Tesla experience was with a pre-refresh (now obsolete) model. The refreshed Model S addresses many of the issues you mentioned... The new S has door pockets with bottle holders, a good-sized center console, 2 large conveniently-positioned wireless phone...

Sheesh that sucks - hope they’re able to provide a lasting fix this time. Situations like what’s described in this thread are the reason I’ve stayed connected to this forum. There was a time not long ago when I seriously considered a CPO Taycan, but I couldn’t get myself to look past the...

The problem with adding any cable is heat. It would have to be REALLY thick cable to support DCFC rates, which doesn't seem practical without some sort of cooling...

So is the cause that they’re out of older packs, or that they’ve realized the packs are fundamentally flawed and unrepairable?

You may want to try a Supercharger again in your EV6. As of April 1, Hyundai/Kia/Genesis are officially supported at V3/V4 Superchargers (250KW+) and we charged our GV60 at one last weekend without any problems. Max charging speed is only 97KW, but that level is maintained all the way to 85+% SOC.

That appears to be a V4 cabinet….there aren’t many of those around, especially in the US. Where is this one located?

I’d keep the Taycan and buy a (much) older 911 if what you want is a “purer” driving experience…

Yes, right rear corner charge port. Technically we were blocking the charger visible on the driver’s side, but it didn’t matter because there were 3-4 open chargers the entire time we were there…

#sitrep Worked perfectly. ??
