We have a general EV thread, so I’d like this one to stay on topic of the Macan EV less the political stuff please. I bought a first year Macan S and the refresh year S that I still have. The Macan S has been my favourite year-round daily and I have told my dealer that I want one of the final year ICE Macans when we know what year that will be. That said, I do like the new EV. I’m not sold on EVs yet, but I want to hear real world impressions of the Macan EV once we have some members who get to drive one.

Here is a good technical video of the EV from Savagegeese…

It is an important car for Porsche no doubt. I am also in the wait and see category. I think longer term there willl be powerful new entries into the EV field so not jumping yet. My Cayenne is 2022 so I would not be in the market for anything currently.
If there were a Smart-sized city runabout EV I would get one to replace the Smart for downtown but nobody has one of those available here. I think this will sell very well however.

I agree and think it will sell well. Unfortunately, the base Macan owners will be priced out of the mine-up…

Does the Taycan have a sound-track also?

It seems like a pretty good product, but the price is a miss for me. The closest equivalent to the electric Macan 4 is the ICE macan S which is $22K cheaper with no luxury tax. I'm interested to see what the other PPE platform offerings will look like and be priced at. Audi Q6, A6 especially.

Jesus...just priced one on the configurator! $130K for a Macan S EV and $150K for the Turbo!!!!

yes the Taycan has two levels of sound - a regular one and a loud "sport plus" version which is very addictive! I love it on my Taycan 4S.

I'm not a fan of the rear hatch shape. Reminds me a lot like the tesla model y.

Price is out to lunch imo. I just spec'd a base macan ev to mirror my wife's base 22 macan and it's like 135k
I think we paid around 70k otd. I don't beleive this is worth 2x.

Nice, but overpriced for what it is. They'll sell a bunch but not to me.

It looks like a rebranded Audi. My sales guy has me on the list for a Turbo but when my Taycan lease is up I may just go for a Tesla, half the price, no luxury tax.

maybe in 3-4yrs we'd buy a used Macan EV..... if it's anything like the Audi Etron it should take a pretty big hit in depreciation

It is a re-branded Audi. Go for the Tesla - Macan EV for over 100K seems pricey. I would take a Lotus Eletre for the same price over the Turbo Macan 100%

test drove the model y a couple months back.... good value, but weird controls. I think the latest refresh, they got rid of the turn signal stalk?

Almost bought a 2019 Audi Etron for about 50% off, but Audi Canada wouldnt sell it to me with a 1yr extended warranty due to open battery recall.
Wife's now driving a slightly used 2023 Genesis GV60, after 12 yrs of being in a diesel q7

Was that the red one at downtown Audi?

petee_c

2019 red (looked orangy red) etron at Uptown Audi.... It looked to be a decent deal

Priced one as well - Macan 4 at $126k + tx ... not sure I can get my head around it. $150k for the "Turbo" which is really a faster car on a battery platform. Kind of ridiculous really. Anyway they'll sell but not for me today anyways.
