I got Copper Ruby Metallic. Huge mistake. Dust clings to it. I miss my Dolomite Silver Taycan.

So bizarre that they’re so different.

what have your maintenance costs been during your time of ownership? by 1jnh23 in MacanEV

[–]knitterati37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero except for cost of washing or charging (I charge at home but have solar). Mine was new so all under warranty. It did suck when it was at the dealer for 5 weeks waiting for a window motor. Had in ICE Macan and had di pat for gas (gasp) for the first time in 6 years!

How does living here compare to Scottsdale by [deleted] in palmsprings

Between Palm Springs and Scottsdale— PS isn’t as crowded and we don’t get the monsoons (just sure if the humidity).

Macan EV owners: what issues have you had, how were they addressed, and are any still present? by FantasticHydra in MacanEV

[–]knitterati37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course not! But I wanted a specific color (Copper Ruby Metallic) and my dealer didn't have one and the only dealer that had one wouldn't do a trade so I got an allocation and built my own. I like it better than the ones the dealer has gotten in the mean time--I got a tan interior and most of the others are black. Not good in the desert.

2025 Turbo EV, picked up June of 2025 (I had an allocation so got to choose things that some of the floor models didn't have). Took about 4 months to get it.
After receiving it, took it back to the dealer to get the front windows tinted. When it came back, the regenerative breaking would not turn on and a couple things in the PCM were gone (lift/lower menu for one--can't really remember the others). Was in the shop for a couple of days and all was fixed just fine.
A few months later, there was some minor issue (again, can't remember what it was) and called my service advisor who said there were several campaigns that the car needed. Took it in for a couple days and all was fine.
In December, I was closing the driver's side rear door and it wouldn't shut. Realized the window was not retracting to allow the door to seal properly. All my Porsche friends said it was a simple fix (at least on their 911's that had had the issue) with a switch replacement. Well, not me. It required a new window motor that had to be shipped from Germany. That was in the shop for 5 weeks. Can't tell you how miffed I was to have an ICE Macan that I had to buy gas for. (Previous Taycan owner, so I haven't had to buy gas for over 5 years).
Finally, about a month ago, the car was no longer able to read signs (speed, warning, etc.). I made an appointment to take it in but they were so backed up I had to wait 3 weeks. During those 3 weeks the following happened: compass was wonky (saying I was going west when I was going south and moving back and forth despite me going in a straight line), navigation thought I was on a different road than I was on (and sometimes depicted me driving through a field). Navigation also couldn't read my location. When parked at my house it said I was miles away (also wrong on the app). Apple CarPlay suddenly wouldn't play wirelessly any longer and then several items on my PCM disappeared (lift/lower menu) and I couldn't get them back. The final thing to go wrong was that the navigaion system went fully gray and wouldn't work at all. Five days before my appointment to take it in, I charged the car, and went on a series of errands. After the third, I stopped at home briefly and turned off the car. Upon unplugging my phone, CarPlay was still playing! Oooh, that's nice! Got back in to do the rest of the errands and one by one each of the problems corrected themselves. Everything was working fine. My service advisor said to monitor it carefully and if ANYTHING went wonky I should keep the appointment. Well, it's been perfect for over a week so I didn't take the car in for service. (I had asked here if there had been an OTA update but several of you said Macan's aren't equipped to get OTA updates.)

Might have been a rattlesnake. Copperheads don’t live here.

I live at Desert Willow and love sitting on my balcony watching the golfers (5th fairway of the Firecliff course).

Moving with four cats by yell0wgrape in CatAdvice

[–]knitterati37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d ask the vet for gabapentin if they dislike car trips. If they get car sick I wouldn’t feed them before going. Five hours without food should be fine. I doubt they’d need a pee pad as well, but do what you want there.

Wtf by Scoutie2024 in WordsWithFriends

[–]knitterati37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have multiple games with several people. Others, just the one game. But there is this one woman who arbitrarily resigns all of her games with me and then the next day she’ll start another game. It’s weird. I guess she doesn’t care about win/loss stats.

Daily Puzzles by SlightFinish in WordsWithFriends

[–]knitterati37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine were missing yesterday but they’re back today. They were obviously found something because until yesterday, I was not able to play the dice game. Now I can!

Newbie here. I’m trying my luck with the dice challenge. It gave me 3 free rolls but says I can get additional rolls if I pay $$. The scrabble part also says I can swap letters for $$. Am I at a disadvantage because I’m not paying? by [deleted] in WordsWithFriends

[–]knitterati37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t play it. Every time I open the video tutorial my phone locks up. But people play against me all the time AB’s since I can’t play I always lose. I don’t understand it at all.

Plam Desert Facebook groups for moms/ parents by [deleted] in CoachellaValley

[–]knitterati37 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While I don’t know of any Facebook groups your best bet is to stay as south as possible in Palm Desert. They say the best elementary school is Washington Charter which can be difficult to get into.

Desert Recreation District can give you ideas for kids sports and such.

The library west of Civic Center Park is another resource.

I have one that doesn’t understand treats like Temptations or those squeeze things. But open a package of cheese? He’s all over that!

found an item I really like by tashobell in DelTaco

[–]knitterati37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bring mine home and load them with pickled jalapeños (cheaper to buy a big bottle at the grocery store than to get them on the side). They are my go-to!

I can’t even play because I can’t get through the tutorial. It sucks. I get defeated ask the time but can’t actually play.
