There is a learning-curve on how to use the car and build trust, in the same way that people had to learn how to use a smartphone instead of a phone with buttons. Every new product has a learning curve. Just imagine someone renting a Macan, do you think that person would master the PCM system without reading the manual? Nah, don't think so...
Sitting at a Supercharger, charging above 95% @ 22kW is just hilarious, like shown in the posted article. No-one would do this in the real world, the only people who does that either don't understand how it works or just have an other agenda.
Take this example. Drive London to Inverness which is 561 miles and in total just above 1h stops enroute. I'm sure that's quite normal stop time anyone would do driving that stretch in a Macan anyway?

If I was driving that route my stops would total more than 1 hour, probably about 2 1/2 hours.
Conversely looking at the S 100D differently
A Tesla S 100D in the UK sells for £94,000 plus extras hence may even get up to £130,000 but lets keep it simple and a basic Tesla S.
A well equiped Macan Turbo is £74,000.
Now for the £20,000 difference I can drive for 10 years in my Turbo including servicing and fuel.
Whereas the Tesla will probably be needing a new battery pack at £12,000.
Not sure why anyone would pay such a premium for an EV
