      Awesome video, she’s great at explaining. The idea of needing 2 days at a stealership for software updates after owning a Model 3 performance for 3 years is nuts. And paying 2x more for a EV with 50% less range, worse software (the maps were unbelievably slow and looked like a 15 year old Ford infotainment) , and it’s slower than the Tesla that’s 1/2 the cost. Crazy. Pretty car tho.

    @richardh3587 ปีที่แล้ว +68

    Very thorough and realistic review. This is my dream car (for a daily driver). I could probably just about afford a RWD version with a few options. But it’s so easy to go into the configurator and think “I’m already spending this much so I might as well get what I want”. With that mindset I quickly get myself to a 120k cross turismo. Current wait time is over a year which is probably a good thing for my wallet.

    • @muribe85
      @muribe85 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The configurator hits hard. I bought the 4S, starting in Norway at aroung 90K USD. End price was 145K, as the configurator was kind enough to help me pick the right options for me (right?). I'm selling the car now as my family just went +1 and the car is now too small. I think I will lose a lot of money as I went for "all" the options. We'll see. : )

    Two questions does Porsche have a cover option for the roof glass and if not is it hot during sunny days? Back seat looked very small and not a lot of leg room for people/kids.

    i have to say this was one of the best reviews...of any EV..I have seen. The ambient light segment was very nice. The critique of the PCM was very candid and appreciated. I am looking to buy the new Macan EV and hope that the software is fixed because I am used to Tesla and all else aside they set the bar for responsiveness, usability, etc. for software, especially because I will be giving up my Model Y for the Macan and I am not looking to go backwards in that area (fingers crossed).

      Those are the RS Spyder wheels that only come on the GTS model. You used to be able to spec them on any model, as I was teetering on ordering them for my 2022 RWD, but looks like the addition of the GTS version stopped that option. As for the yellow calipers…I was wondering the same thing…I want in too!!

Also I'm always having issues with pre-conditioning the interior of my car through the app. What is frustrating the most out of me now is I can't figure out how to activate the battery preconditioning. They say it came with my car but can't find a simple solution. Whatev. Thank you for the review and I like your style. Take care.
