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…

for long time Porsche EV victims the saga of Porsche's confusion regarding the actual limits of their standard OBC (on board charger) and the regional limitations they have chosen (for undisclosed reasons) to enforce are a comedy or tragedy depending on your perspective. In the rest of the...

in North America the X5 vs. the Cayenne is a common and direct x-shop - they are about the same size/class and "German" and BMW is probably regarded as more sporty than Mercedes… the Cayenne EV is going to be a hard sell vs. the BMW…

I think what's different is Porsche no longer has their engines and exhaust note to hide behind - and with low CG's of EV's handling dynamics are also much more equal and their competitors have closed the gap… add in the "superior" tech/software focus and a Porsche EV is simply a lower tech...

you're likely to be able to option/purchase a fully loaded BMW iX5 M60 for less money than a nicely optioned Macan 4S EV… there may be something wrong in Stuttgart…but perhaps I'm missing something.
