[@joshgorman4521]

Great points overall but don’t agree trying to contextualize that this is a good deal because of how expensive the Taycan is. It’s a ridiculously priced vehicle. But Porsche is not for the faint of heart these days. They have taken advantage of the inflationary market by massively increasing prices across the model lineup

The naming scheme is most likely because the ICE Macan will still be sold. Base Macan (ICE). Macan 4 (EV). Macan S (ICE). Macan GTS (ICE). Macan Turbo (EV).

[@blitzerx7]

Thanks for your video, Nick! As a 992 owner, and also EV owner, I agree with your analysis and option choices. I would add rear-wheel steering, as it does make low speed maneuvering easier (my BMW iX has it, and it does help). I think the Macan 4 EV would be an excellent replacement for my BMW i4 as a daily driver. If all is OK, I will wait until 2026 or 27 before switching, though; namely to give Porsche a chance to iron bugs out, and for it to switch to NACS connector. One piece of advice: own an EV while the battery is on warranty; it is expensive to replace. I had an HV battery fail on a Tesla, and thank god it was under warranty. Change the car before the warranty expires. But… Porsches are built like tanks; hopefully that extends to the EV powertrain as well.

Thanks for doing this and thanks in advance for reviewing it when you have a chance. I had thought about trading in my Taycan for one, but I love my Taycan, have not had any trouble and the problem is not the range (275 on the highway), it's the infrastructure right now.

I suspect the Macan will sell poorly as well. Cold weather range of EV's is not acceptable in states larger than Connecticut.

It will sell very well, especially in countries like France where the road tax on ICE cars is into tens of thousands of euros!

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

I said it before, I'll say it again... Porsche's design is going the wrong direction. They're introducing more and more edges, more angular bits and at the same time losing curves. Which cannot work. At least not for a Porsche. Porsche designs always had that nice flow to them. The surfaces were sculpted carefully, they were rounded, the cars had an organic look. The new designs are walking that dangerous path to looking like an electric shaver. Too many cars look like that already. If Porsches end up looking like that as well it's gonna be a bummer.

[@shrx]

Why sports chrono? Worth it just for the clock on the dash.

Just out of curiosity, Nick, what does it matter if the Macan is a sports car or not? To a lot of people that is a sports car. Not everyone has driven a 911 or certainly owned one. I have several friends that have Macan’s, two of whom, are women. Both my men and women, friends with them, all drive them in sport mode, it’s the sportiest car they’ve ever owned, so why shouldn’t they do things like deviated stitching if they want to? You made the comment at least three times during that video about it “not being a sports car”, so don’t waste your money. Let’s remember that the rest of the world will most likely not ever own a high-end sports car…. Porsche or otherwise, so let people go nuts, in the model they can afford. Not only do you say those kind of things, your attitude about it is like, if one even considers doing certain options, they’re a moron. I think you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this day, my friend. I’ve always enjoyed your channel, and yes, we are all individuals, and everyone can make their own choices. certainly… But there are those folks out in the car world, who look at people like you, and I, (car enthusiasts) for advice and counsel. It’s always a fine line in my opinion, to counsel someone not to make a critical error that really does somehow make no sense to their pocketbook in reality… And then just hurting their feelings for wanting something in a dream vehicle, that they will probably only own once in their life.

At least the EV won't have all the parts that failed on our MacanS (transmission - $19,800, valve cover oil leak - $6900, transfer case $6k?). Thank you extended warranty!

Guess it's time for people who want a Macan to strike, before Porsche launches the appliance Macan with a huge price hike. Petrol over blenders any second of any day. The looks: For an appliance it's good looking, but like you i prefer the current, good, Macan.

[@H2SO4H20]

OK, Nick. I have a number of questions about the information you presented. First of all, I'm not aware that LED-matrix headlights have become "full featured" in the U.S. A recognized authority in the vehicle lighting industry recently told me that this has not and is not going to happen and that the U.S. NHTSA is going quite a different direction with their headlight standards. But that still doesn't mean that the adaptive features of LED-matrix can't be enabled. I had someone enable full adaptive functionality of the LED-matrix headlights on my Cayenne last summer and they now work like those in Europe which is pretty wonderful. Second, is the rear wiper really not available with the Thermally & Noise Insulated Glass option? It has been that way on the 911 but are you certain it is that way on the Macan? (Edit: Yes, Nick is correct. Unlike the Cayenne, one must choose between the rear wiper and the Insulated Glass option.) For example, my 2022 Cayenne has both a rear wiper and the Thermally & Noise Insulated Glass option. The Thermally & Noise Insulated Glass option provides a noticeable reduction in traffic noise. I notice every time I get a loaner Macan without it how loud surrounding traffic is. Thirdly, does the Thermally & Noise Insulated Glass really reduce phone reception? Do you know why there has never been a caution about this for Europe but there has been for the U.S.? Could it be that CDMA cell phones haven't been used in Europe but have been in the U.S. (e.g. Verizon, Sprint, U.S. Cellular and some smaller companies) - at least until the end of 2022 when CDMA was supposedly discontinued in the U.S. although there could still be some small podunk rural cell phone companies still using it. There is absolutely no reduction in cell phone reception in my Cayenne with Thermally & Noise Insulated Glass. Also, on windshields with Thermally & Noise Insulated Glass and on heated windshields, there is a fairly large area at the top center for mounting electronic devices. My toll road transponder works fine when stuck to the inside of the windshield in this area. I can't imagine buying a Macan EV. We don't have space for a limited use city car. Even the longest range, most expensive Lucid doesn't begin to cut it here in middle America unless one plans his life around it.

[@peteranderson7497]

Nick, another really interesting video, thanks! My comment is NOT about the car, I would never pay the “Porsche Tax” so this car is yet another place for the self indulgent to waste their money. My comment is about solar panels - JUST DO IT!!! I live on the south coast of NSW and have had roof-top solar for about four months. Electricity bills are more than half what they were for the same time last year and over that time the cost of electricity in NSW has risen more than 35%. So it’s a no-brainer. A home battery will only make economic sense if you have an EV and do most of your charging at home. I hope that helps. Regards, Peter
