The car weighs over 6,000 pounds when occupied. I didn't buy it for the handling, and when I noticed the curb weight I adjusted my expectations accordingly. I don't have any major issues with the braking either. I found it to be as good as the Mustang Mach-e, and Tesla Y, and better than the Mercedes EQS SUV. What I don't like about the brakes is the squeaking noise that they sometimes make when the anti-roll brake releases, or in the instant when the anti-roll brakes disengage, and the parking brake engages. Otherwise, I find them more than adequate for the vehicle type. Over the long term, I am also a little concerned about maintenance issues with the brakes.

It will be interesting to see how Porsche compensates for the extra weight if/when they roll out an electric Cayenne. It will most likely be heavier than the current e-tron. The Macan is too small to be a family car, but I will definitely consider a Cayenne EV if there is one.

And this is ultimately why I ended up getting a 2022. I had been waiting for a solid EV to hit the market for a loooooooooooong time. I compromised on range so I didn't have to keep waiting and pay more at the same time for something that doesn't factor into my daily driving habits at all. Part of what pushed me to cancel my 2023 order and buy the 2022 is the price difference, but it was also about being sick of chasing rainbows. There will always be a better EV 6-12 months out.

I think this is the reckoning a lot of drivers have. Is the Q8 e-tron worth waiting for? Sure, we all want a ~300 mile EPA number. Meanwhile you have caught the unicorn and will have been riding it for a year or two before the Q8 e-tron is even available. I'd rather be riding the unicorn than chasing rainbows.
