Ice grey is a great choice. Yesterday, I test drove Macan 4 and it was in provence. The ice grey was in the showroom, and looked outstanding with leather in blackberry. Whereas, the provence looked somewhat dull in comparison. My order for rear-wheel drive is in ice grey, but leather is in chalk (crayon in UK). I wish I had gone for blackberry.

I've owned Jaguar, Lexus, Model S, and bought a Porsche Panamera earlier this year. Porsche build quality is AMAZING, great choice, Kathy. Looking forward to lots of Porsche EV content and less (boring) Tesla content.

Kathy I caught your subtle joke when Dave was explaining your spec sheet and you said you were “ out of spec” and you gave a tiny smile after you said it, it sure Dave caught it.

[@andrewdoane6558]

imho, not ticking the premium package will hurt resale. It includes many features you’re already choosing à la carte so you need to look at the marginal cost. The stock audio is terrible and you want the LED lights.

[@yystl]

I agree but if they cared about saving money they wouldn’t be switching cars every other day

[@bbgator1]

It probably doesn’t have that much effect on resale. Use market you really don’t see what packages the car has. You just see a list of features. Features affect resale on Japanese cars more than German cars because trim levels are easier identify than individual features

As long as they're selling their cars within under a year, they wouldn't really take much of a hit. Probably zero down, maybe pay 7 months worth of payments and whatever depreciation occurs. It's actually a great idea.

[@harmony3138]

Macan 4 Electric has a WLTP range (albeit on a generous side) of 380 miles, and the base model has a range of 399 So the difference is 19 miles I think the base rear-wheel drive is a better option if you are not really going off-road much and not tracking it. Also, in snow winter tyres are far more important than 4-wheel drive. Its 0-60 in 5.4 is plenty of power and it has enough torque. I think rear-wheel drive are more fun in general, particularly if you get a chance to really play with them and have the talent to go a bit sideways. The best sports cars are rear-wheel drive for a reason. Also, the base Macan will have the best turn as there is no electric motor assembly upfront, the front axle will weigh less and reduce some inherent friction from the steering.

[@rwest8905]

Hey, your channel, but hard to relate to a lot of the reviews/comments you make when you change cars every 15 minutes for the next “best” thing.

[@paulstewart1626]

Congratulations Kathy. It was nice of you to buy Kyle another car. Hopefully you will get to drive it sooner or later. It is a good thing you did not trade in the model y yet. You sill need to drive it for another six months or so. Seriously it is a beautiful car and I hope that you enjoy it.

[@ArielBatista]

Great news for you guys. The issue with that is that most people are not able to afford it. I for one will never be able to get one. Good luck.

[@FrancescoBorsotti]

You guys are great! I "should" get my Macan 4 in Ice grey later this week (finger crossed): I specced with a bit more optionals, but in the US you are lucky that so many optionals are already included. It ended up at 93K € (about 85K $), but taxes in Italy are 22%, so the final price was around 105K$. I could get a 10% discount from the dealer though...

[@tonireed4308]

Macan is the only EV tempting me to trade in current model S. When paying $78,000 for a car, many of those options should be included.

[@deanprater12]

The S is better in almost every category. Reliability being the biggest. No other legacy automakers have caught up with Teslas software or infrastructure. And Legacy automaker evs tend to have a lot more issues then their traditional cars do

[@js3085]

Never buying another car from a STEALERSHIP!

[@volcalstone]

​@@deanprater12If you're buying a car mainly based on software then you might be buying it for the wrong reason. Something like build quality is way more important to me. The driving experience is another. For example some say the MDX is just a fancy Pilot but honestly it's not. The driving experience feels so much better in the MDX. It's worth the extra cost for me. I like the Model S Plaid so don't get me wrong but I would rather get the Taycan Turbo S if they were the same price. The history of Porsche is a big selling point as well.

[@deanprater12]

@@volcalstoneI don’t know where you got the impression that I mentioned one selling point for purchasing a particular car over another. But since we are comparing-Tesla is more reliable, Better performance for your dollar. It’s not even close. Teslas safety ratings are above Porsches, in literally every model and category. Teslas software is above every automaker in the industry. Teslas charging infrastructure is the best. And on top of all. In this particular case you aren’t just buying a Porsche. You’re buying a Porsche EV… Which are notorious for having a lot of issues that their traditional vehicles do not. If you were wanting to purchase a EV. Which clearly, Is the way to go if you like efficiency. There’s only ONE company to chose from. And there are many reasons for that. But not getting ripped off and keeping money in your pocket has got to be my personal favorite. Best bang for your dollar in its class.

[@volcalstone]

@@deanprater12 sure if I wanted an EV with a Civic build quality. Yes I will save a lot of money and just be happy with that alone. The charging infrastructure issue is only in the US and nowhere else. With time this will be fixed. Tesla sure aren't building anymore new superchargers at the same pace as they were a year ago so. Who said Porsches EV are the best? They're nice but they have their own issues as well. Why do you think they have a high depreciation rate for their EVs? To me I'm more impressed with what the Hyundai Group are doing. I'm excited about their Magma line. Hopefully they will introduce more Magma EVs soon.

[@paulburns3211]

A useful reminder of how people’s priorities are different. The only must-have options for me are rear steer and Burmester, so all the “aesthetic” things went by the wayside-and I still ran over budget by a couple of grand.

I almost bought a used Mercedes at Carmax I got so tired of waiting lol. As for me, I'll never buy an EV without one pedal drive. I have an ice vehicle as well and I actually despise using the brakes in it lol. Porsche could have just added an on or off button and for those customers who don't want one pedal drive they would never have to activate it and never think of it again.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

For anyone speccing any Porsche, always try to get the premium package. It may seem expensive but you actually end up only paying 2/3 the price versus when you add in all the features bundled in the package separately. Now in this case they only had the comfort seats and ventilated seats options checked separately so its fine. But if you were to select more of those boxes individually then you're basically missing out on free features by not selecting the premium package (because it has more features for less money)

[@BillZwicky]

You didn't mention the Exterior option of the "Thermally & Noise Insulated Glass (Front and Rear)". Seems like something Kathy might want.😀

I'm surprised that you are still waiting for your Macan 4 when dealers here in California have been selling them for about a month. I ordered a 2025 Macan 4S early September that has a dealer delivery date pending of January 17th. My local dealer had me test drive the Macan Turbo S Electric several weeks ago and was hoping I would buy it. Several boxes I have checked were missing from the Turbo S so I said I would wait for my order. When I ordered the car, EPA range had not yet been released but the dealer told me 340 - 360 was expected. When the EPA range of 288 came out, I was very disappointed. Need to see Kyle range test to see if I should stay with Porsche.
