1 hour and 18 minutes… for part 1…

it's pretty clear he hasn't been watching other videos on the Macan... he was definitely learning on the fly.
all still very interesting.... seeing the charge curves, the battery warming up, and actually going OVER the optimal temperature...Seeing him turn off the porsche route planning, and then not understanding why it wasn't showing charging stations anymore was kinda cringe tho

I like some of their stuff but they need to hire an editor and release condensed videos.

I skip quickly trough them and watch it just for entertainment … but sometimes I think ha, this I didn’t know!

his videos are painfully redundant and take way too long to get to the point - I find them unwatchable - but he is a knowledgable EV reviewer - just painfully long videos for normally very little actual content.

I'd love Porsche to admit they have a software configuration error and there is no reason for them to cap the AC/L2 charger rate - but rather it should be 11 kW (48 amps on a 60 amp breaker) like the rest of their EV/Hybrid product line…and matching the online US/North American published specification.

Welcome, and by the way, many thanks for the early highway test drive of the macan EV in January. It was the video that helped me make my decision

By the way, you were right about the engine placement behind the rear axle in all models. The turbo just has it attached to the main frame. Did Kyle pay his bet? Lol

Must be a misprint in the manual as the Macan only supports 9.6kW 40A It does not support 48A OBC
