Porsche Macan EV: my ideal configuration

The Porsche Macan EV will be introduced in the next coming months. This video discusses the many options you can select in the online Porsche Macan 4 configurator as I try to make the perfect upgrade from my Tesla Model 3 Long Range.

Why no red colour?

That is a very good question. There are some reasons. First is that we Belgian people are rather boring when it comes to car colours. We almost always go for grey or black (or white when it’s cheaper 😏) so some sort of green is already a ‘special’ colour to us. So for resale value I don’t want to go to crazy. Second reason is that this Macan is still a family car, a daily driver. It’s not really a sports car like a 911. Those cars deserve a special colour - although most Belgians will again go for a silver or black 911. I think this aventurine green colour brings out the nice lines of the car and it is very shiny. It’s just classy and fits this car I think.

A lot of good competition is around now with some really desirable EVs out there Teslas are now looking stale, boring, and dated! Soulless - just a giant iPad on wheels.

Although I’m still a Tesla fanboy, there is some truth in what you say. The Model 3 is a very efficiently made car and has had many small changes over the years but let’s face it: it still look pretty much the same as it did in 2017 when it was introduced. I think Tesla underestimates the psychology of owning a truly‘new’ car. But I’ll test drive the Model 3 Ludicrous anyway and who knows, maybe I’m blown away 😀

@@CyclingTechGuy When you can have the likes of Polestar that you showed here, Audi Q6 E-Tron, Porsche Macan 4, soon to arrive BMW Neue Klasse iX3, and some others, why consider bare minimum stale and boring looking Model 3 with: Missing indicator stalk Hits objects as no ultrasonic sensors Vision wipers that never work No air suspension No HUD

@@harmony3138True. There are some things you just can’t get at Tesla like indeed a heads-up display. However the driving experience is great if you like a cart like feeling (and I do :-). You do get a lot for the price. But configuring your own individual car as you can with Porsche is just so much fun …
