I had opportunity to drive my 2024 Macan Ev Turbo w/insulated glass back to back with a Macan 4 EV loaner with out insulated glass… both cars were whisper quiet but every time I got out of my Turbo w/insulated glass and into the loaner without -if I was driving highways speed the noise level in...

not specific to the cayenne but porsche refuses to clarify this exact issue for my 2024 macan EV which has “off-road” package options

likely…in my opinion

I've archived the MY'2026 North American data - technical specs and standard equipment for the Turbo - so I/we can compare for any changes to MY'2027 Cayenne Turbo… I would be unsurprised if there are _NO_ changes…but there might be a few tweaks - nothing major is my expectation.

I'll just hang out here until the year in this screen shot changes…we should be close - factory is in August shutdown - and when they re-open in Sept. they normally would begin production of +1 model-year (2027) - configurator should be online any day now…

apparently it also does pretty good against a Corvett https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a73298447/porsche-cayenne-turbo-electric-acceleration-braking-roadholding-record/

my opinion is these are inconsequential on a 5000+ lbs vehicle and certainly not worth the 11k entry price - but it _IS_ the _ONE_ remaining benefit of PCCB's… each owner is welcome to determine if the weight savings is worth while vs. the $11k price to play in the sandbox. For a daily driver...

Digital Key _IS_ a feature of the Cayenne and MY'2026 and and later Macan EV's… the myPorsche app is how you "add" the key to your mobile devices wallet - once you have a "digital" key provisioned on to your phone the app is no longer required - it's just the gateway to the digital key People...

drove the Cayenne Turbo EV want the Cayenne Turbo EV love the Cayenne Turbo EV car is good - nuance is not required - it's _AT LEAST_ as good as my current Cayenne in all factors/driving dynamic's - probably better in a number of ways - there is no downside other than the 💰 will have to wait...

Gory Gory details/history/speculation below…read on if you want to solve your insomnia problem… Porsche has a long history of "confusion" and 'factual errors" when it comes to "max charging" speeds with their EV/Hybrids in North America _ALL_ mobile chargers (EVSEs) in North America are max...

this is my $0.02 YMMV tldr; save more than $11k (option price, tax, registration fees) on your Cayenne EV build by not optioning brakes that will only be used 3% of the time - Porsche's own data/claims. details below… We all know Porsche _LOVES_ their options list and increased margins...

I agree 100% - I expect the first wave of changes to come with MY'2028 …

in no particular order… ummm - fix the half-baked NACS charging port - allow both FastDC and L1/L2 AC charging? I have no delusions on this - earliest would most likely be 2028 or later…and my bet is on "later" - {sigh} this is probably going to be embarrassing for Cayenne owners until the...

I watched this entire video - I'm not sure of the point… virtually _ANY_ Porsche could've done this - the speeds were well under acceleration and top speed limits for any Porsche I've owned since 2008… seems a lot of work and complexity for a demonstration that simply requires one drive in a...

wake me up when the North American MY'2027 configurator is online…
