A range of 310 miles is being quoted, which means maybe 230 on a cold day? Dropping to about 185 if you only have time to charge to 80%. Not great really.

Re: Macan EV Official Launch Date!

It will be interesting to see whether a full range of models will be available from day one, or whether some will be unavailable until subsequent launches.

Re: Macan EV

https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/forthcoming-all-electric-porsche-macan-will-get-over-310-miles-range Improvements in range seems glacial in comparison to advancements in other technologies. I find the 310 mile range being quoted for the Macan EV disappointing, when considering cross count...

Re: Buying a Used Gen 3

Porsche Centres are reluctant to offer discounts on new orders (they don’t need to).

But I think there’s more chance with used, so it’s worth trying a sensible offer if you find one you are interested in.

Re: it's time to bring buttons back for controlling your car

Apart from the climate controls, which buttons are people fiddling with regularly? All mine are already selected and i dont change any of them from one journey to the next. I rarely use any buttons, and certainly not the climate control ones. I do however really miss the buttons in earlier Macan ge...

Re: Gen 2 - iPhone connection question - Voice control

My Sept 2019 Gen 2 S came with wireless CarPlay. I don’t know if all Gen 2s came with wireless CarPlay, or whether it was added to Gen 2s at some point. I do recall that the SE was interested in seeing how it worked when my car was delivered - I think the wireless element was a new feature on the Ma...

Re: New prospective owner in Hampshire

Is the Gen 3 S more powerful than Gen 2? Apologies for being a little confused. New to Porsche. 🙏 Ask me anything about L322 Rangies and I’m you’re man 😂 Yes, the 2.9 litre in the Gen 3 S is a little more powerful than the 3 litre in the Gen 2. And it feels like a nicer engine to drive. I’d conside...

Re: Lave Assist; Lane Keep Assist; Lane Change Assist

Seems basically correct, although the first one is called Lane departure warning and comes as standard.

Personally I keep the departure warning switched off, and have never had any interest in choosing the other options.
