Aside from the price, especially when you option up all the stuff that comes standard with the Model Y ... the trunk space is actually significantly less than the Model Y. It's an exciting first step, but i think it would be nuts to jump in head first on the first production run. Wait for reviews and see where the kinks are first.

Is the new Macan EV a MY killer?
- Thread starter bobbyjae
- Start date
now we see how people are brainwashed by the medias-Competition is coming, Tesla killer, EV adoption is slowing blah, blah, blah! Every EV is an ICE killer and that's Tesla's mission. Don't get into FUD universe!
If Tesla could continue to improve cars instead of going in the wrong direction (no radar, no USS, yokes, no physical gear shift, no turn stalks, bumpy suspension, terrible service, etc.), then folks would stay loyal. Tesla is forcing people to look at other brands.
I still love Tesla's tech and overall UI but these other features are lacking.

The Honda Prologue is a GM product. Hopefully the diehard Honda folks know that - it's just a badge engineered Blazer EV. Surprised it's even mentioned here.
Honda is way too late to this EV game. They don't have anything special.

Unlike ICE vehicles, does a Porsche offer any special driving experience when it comes to EV? I believe the driving experience between EVs are not drastically different compared to ICE cars. The Taycan is a joke. With roughly 200 miles of range and a price of 100k+ I sometimes wonder who are the idiots buying these. I would rather go with Porsche ICE than buy their EV.
When the Jupiter upgrades to the Model Y are considered, there will be few reasons for most to consider the Porsche. If the Macan is in high demand, the Dealerships will tack on additional markups, making it even less competitive.
There will always be those willing to pay very high prices to get the Porsche goodness. They usually feel great to drive, look good in the driveway and appeal to the buyers Ego.

Amazing how much Tesla's fabricated numbers influences perception. In real life the Taycan gets better range.

Heck, if my financial situation changes, I'd consider a Macan EV just for the improved seats alone. Tesla 3/Y seats are very basic, very small for tall drivers, and don't hold you in at all during hard cornering.

Agree about 3 but Y is much better for tall drivers. I test drove both and decided 3 is not for me. No complaints about Y and I am 6'3''.

Range is everything in an EV. No one buys a Taycan to drive at 60 MPH and get an improved range. For that price range it should have at least 300 miles of range for it to have a chance unless you are buying it to park it in your drive way to flaunt.
They are well built, tested, luxury cars.
How can you consider an unreleased model and say there's few reasons to consider another car? Not that MY drivers are typically cross shopping Macans.

Guys, wifey and I own two Teslas (M3 SR and MY LR AWD). We use our MY to go back and forth between Cape Cod and just south of Tucson AZ twice a year. Double dare ya to do that in the Macan!!

The Macan EV just posted a 322.5mi actual range (Albeit to an unrealistic near-0% SoC) on a 70mph range test by Out of Spec Reviews. The Macan should require less charging than any Model 3/Y. It's got great real-world range.Guys, wifey and I own two Teslas (M3 SR and MY LR AWD). We use our MY to go back and forth between Cape Cod and just south of Tucson AZ twice a year.

Plus, NACS is coming for Porsche, so Supercharging won't be a problem.
Of course other makes like Porsche et al will only have access to about half the Tesla charging stations, not all of them like Tesla owners. But it will be a big improvement over the public chargers other makes have access to now. And other makes may be charged a (slightly) higher rate per kWh, as it should be since they paid nothing toward the 22K+ chargers in the US and 50K worldwide.
This is correct. Right this minute Elon is enjoying the sizeable lead he has on a charging network and a clunky, yet rapid software update capability, as well as just overall experience of the service centers. But as more BEVs are released the drawbacks listed above will start to show unless they're resolved. I figure he's trying to time it so that he doesn't spend money on improvements like build quality, suspension improvements, etc. a minute sooner than he absolutely has to.
This thread must have been started by a Porsche fanboy wanting to stir the pot. MY owners wanted an SUV at the $45K to $53K max and evident by being the number one vehicle in the world, we are very happy.
The Macan is a $80K plus purchase up top with the Model X, Fisker, Lucid Gravity, Volvo XE90, Merc EQE, etc.
In this bracket, the Macan should be very competitive.
Please dont stir the pot. Enjoy your Macan.
