No squeaks on either of my Macans. So much better in build quality than my previous Mercedes and BMWs.

That some mileage in 3 months - have you been on a UK tour :D
Not as such but visited, Cornwall, Dundee, Merseyside, Hull and few places in between/closer to home too. In Bedford now and will be putting a few more mikes on it tomorrow around the Millbrook Proving ground tracks... watch this space!

With hindsight the former was proved to a greater extent than the later!

Both my Macans have had a squeak from the steering column trim, both sorted myself with some felt tape. My current GTS is coming up 6 years old and the trim is wearing very well. I come from a long history of BMW’s and the Macan is better built by far.

We had 6 years with a 2016 Macan and had no sqeaks or rattles during the period of ownership. At 37,000 odd miles it drove and sounded just as good as when picked up.

Good Luck.

My Gen 1 S was solid but I am disappointed with the Gen 3 S. I have an annoying vibration coming from the drivers door, a noise from the back of the pano roof that sounds like a loose parcel shelf and the engine (possibly aircon) sounds rough at idle once warmed up. I have had it in 3 times and noises still present. The Pano roof noise is much better but still makes a noise from time to time. Problem is that the noises are intermittent and last visit to dealers they were unable to find any noises.

Also, after washing, each time I raise and lower the tailgate more water appears. I have to raise and lower it 4 times to properly empty wherever the water is being held.

That IS a pain, was same on Gen2, I'm blaming the slope on my drive, 5+ degrees, which I reverse down. Are you similar, level or nose down?

I have a level driveway, and it drives me nuts, drips for hours off the rear upper spoiler. I have to wedge a microfibre cloth under each side and let it dry overnight. It is garaged though, so the neighbours don't think I'm completely mad!
