DELAYED! OUR PORSCHE MACAN ELECTRIC HAS BEEN STUCK AT THE PORT FOR MONTHS

EV Channels Review

This video details the significant delays encountered in receiving a new Porsche Macan Electric, specifically a Macan 4 model ordered in May and manufactured in July, but still awaiting delivery by November. The primary reasons cited for the extended wait are logistical issues at the new Freeport, Texas port and critical software updates required before delivery. The presenter explains two specific campaigns (VR28 software update and WP6 electric power distributor control unit replacement) that must be completed, with the software update requiring a manual USB installation due to the car's inability to perform over-the-air updates initially. While acknowledging Porsche's desire to 'get it right' and the car's impressive driving dynamics, the reviewer expresses frustration with the prolonged delay, especially given it's Porsche's second EV. The video highlights that this issue is affecting numerous customers, leading to considerable anticipation and some disappointment. Despite the setbacks, the reviewer maintains a positive outlook, believing the car is worth the wait and noting potential benefits like lower interest rates on future financing.
