So here she is, in all her green glory, my 2021 Macan GTS. Delivery experience at Pfaff Porsche was superb, really chill, had it sitting right in the center of their showroom and was definitely an eye catcher amongst the sea of greys/whites/blacks. They didn't push anything on us, threw in free maintenance for 3 years, got a little goody bag with a mug, hat, and usb drive. We could have been in and out in an hour but spent some time walking around the showroom. Lucked out in getting Michelin Latitude Sport 3 tires on the 20" RS Spyders.
It's not home until this Wednesday though, they're delivering it to our house via enclosed transport as it doesn't have winter tires on it (I have a set of replica RS Spyders with Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV's sitting in my garage for it) or PPF on it (gets done later in the week at a local Xpel shop that did our Lexus) and we wanted to avoid the highway drive.
Highlights are Mamba Green (obviously lol), Standard Black Leather, Premium Plus Package w/ 18 ways, PTV+, Sport Chrono, Heated Windscreen, GT Sport Wheel, and Ionizer (for the extra button), Smoking Package, Gloss Black Logo (which looks really nice btw).
why not drop off the winter wheels and have the dealer install them and then you can drive the car home?
No PPF on it either, I'm having it done by my local shop, I'd rather not take it on the highway in the winter without PPF. Besides they're not charging me to deliver it home, so no loss other than a few days more waiting.
If they are charging you for mag wheel lock bolt. Insist that they give you that fifth stock bolt.
I personally hate them, but if you’ve paid for it, you should get it.

Other than messing up your immaculate new car on the first drive, I wouldnt hesitate to take the car out in bad weather with all season tires on it.
We got about 4 of snow here last night/this morning and, of course, I had to take my Macan S out in the worst of it to see how it drives. I had no problems at all except for requiring a little bit more distance to stop. I felt absolutely confident on both unplowed, packed snowy roads, and slush. I drove my Macan S back-to-back with my old winter driver, a 96 Range Rover. The RR had no problems either, but the Macan was significantly more comfy - but I guess 20+ years in vehicle evolutionll do that.
Smashing on the gas and plowing through unplowed snow in the median was complete bliss for me. However, every time I drive my Macan S I feel as though its a transcendental experience (I havent been spoiled yet by better performing Porsches).
I should have turned of traction control and played around in a parking lot, but it didnt occur to me. Maybe next time.

Anyways congrats! Enjoy!!
Once I put the winter tires on and have the PPF done, it's my daily driver and will see full Canadian winters...no doubt this will be a good vehicle in the snow.
Congrats! I have little doubt you're going to love your Macan.
I'm curious to hear back on how the Macan handles snow when equipped with proper tires. Mine wore Pirelli Scorpion A/S and on one occasion I chose to drive it home from the office in 3 or 4 inches of snow (snow is rare where I live). Although the Macan is AWD (not true 4WD) I was pleased that it never made me concerned that I'd become stuck, but I was carefully plodding along with terribly reduced braking distance avoiding routes with steep uphill/downhill grades. Even so, there were a couple times the ABS got quite a workout keeping the car pointed where I wanted.

I'm sure it will be perfectly fine...any AWD SUV on snow tires is more than plenty for any typical snow covered road with upwards of 6-8 inches on it. The Pilot Alpin 5 SUV's I got for it in 265/295 section tires weren't the best winter tire choice for snow, I would have gone with the 19" narrower tires and the X-Ice line rather than Pilot Alpin if I wanted the best snow performance. The thing is, we rarely get big snow storms here and I'd say 95% of the time the roads are clear/wet here, so I opted for the better tire for those conditions. We have an AWD Lexus NX on 225 section Latitude X-Ice Xi2's as well for those days, although odds are if the Porsche couldn't do it, the Lexus shouldn't do it either. Long story short, I'm sure the Macan will be superb for winter conditions.
