Porsche Macan Turbo Electric 70-MPH Highway Range Test From Full Until It Dies!

Those arrows while turning, pointing to the lane, in the HUD are frickin' crazy.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

Roof rails, tow hitch, rear wiper, 22in wheels, biggest motor, biggest and widest tires, etc make this the worst case scenario for the Macan EV assuming we never get the small battery versions. The result is pretty solid. Much better than the original Model Y with the larger battery (78-82 or whatever). But I'm not sure how the latest Model Y would perform because Tesla always does minor updates

[@ATORO1]

That Model Y hit 286 miles with 12,000 rental miles and 2kW degradation. Fresh one would make 2kW worth farther 293 miles.

[@PEACEOUTXX1]

Anyone with the money is picking this over any model Y. This car is gorgeous inside and out.

[@SS-yw7vo]

He said roof rails don't make any difference

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

@@PEACEOUTXX1 Not really. Lots of people buy cars to get from A to B including wealthy people. Plenty of people in my subdivision don't even qualify for the tax credit yet the Tesla is what they are picking because it offers a ton of car for the money. The Macan doesn't offer a whole lot more for almost double the price. Especially when the refreshed Model Y comes, it will be a difficult ask to pay 85K for Macan comparably equipped to a Model Y. New highland models 3 is excellent and feels like a proper German competitor. The refreshed model Y should be improved significantly. Not to the Macan level but I'd argue close enough to where the main reason you're paying for the Macan is badge or other subjective reasons. Especially because it's rumored the Model Y comes with a larger battery better performance, etc in addition to the Model 3 highland upgrades.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

@@ATORO1 that Model Y was tested with the larger 20in induction wheels too. On the 19in Gemini wheels it's possible that a RWD version with the large battery can easily exceed 300 miles of range. Incredible since it range is comparable to a Macan while using a 18% smaller battery.

[@concinnus]

Didn't realize the pack design was so different from the Taycan -- first I'm hearing of it using prismatic. Considering that, the charge curve is great.

[@abraxastulammo9940]

Thank you, Kyle. Another great video. I was rooting for you to make it without a tow truck… 😂 Your and your dad’s coverage makes me want to get a Macan EV… had a 2021 Taycan Cross Turismo and loved it. Now in a 2024 Tesla Model Y Performance. Love the software and the superchargers over Electrify America. But definitely miss Porsche suspension and overall build quality. Glad to see the Macan EV finally coming in. Question is: Macan turbo, 4S or wait for a GTS? 🤔

The Lucid they were using is really the best option. No matter what any of the other cars are going to do the Lucid can follow behind and still have charge to give.

[@doubleclutchonline5811]

Any thoughts on phantom drain? I am gong to place an order for either a 4 or a 4S this week. Definitely going for the smaller wheels. I really want the 4S, but 288 miles cuts it very close. My typical routine is... charge to 90%, drive 110 miles on Sunday, the car sits parked Sunday through Thursday in a garage, then I drive back 110 miles for the weekend. My Model X, that this will replace, offers plenty of range to allow for phantom drain.

Went on the Porsche website. Way too confusing on the order page. Every option extra charge! To much customization. What is this 1970 also had price in euros didn’t have anything in the settings to change it to US dollars

[@RBcymru]

Have Porsche fitted a cheaper charger as they did in the Taycan compared to the Audi's ? So Porsche haven't improved efficiency just put a bigger battery in at 95 kwh giving 3.1 miles per kw with one passenger / driver and in eco mode with AC turned down etc. Spend $80k on a Macan or $40k on a used Taycan which does 200 miles sorry but that is a no brainer.
