    Bose died on this morning's commute, and surround view greyed out

    Hi, The issue happened again yesterday, 4 months later. All sound cut out while I was on a call in the car. I could not access the Bose configuration menu (it just goes blank) either. At the same time, I got all kinds of advanced drive assist warnings on the cluster, and then the PCM rebooted...

    Range - again

    I don't charge past 75% as I charge at home and barely use more than 3-6% when going back and forth to the office (I also charge there). With that said, now that the weather has improved, the car is estimating 476km at 75%. At 100% it theoretically means that I can get 634km in my mostly city...

    New tires detected warning on the cluster, tire pressure warning light blinking

    Hi, thanks for the information! It worked! For those that experience this, go to Settings->Tire and Pressure Monitor and there is the option for tire sizes. I just toggled to 22" then back to 21" Winter and it worked.

    What sound do your doors make when closing? Solid thunk or rattles?

    Hi, I have a dealer visit scheduled next Wednesday for a number of issues, the majority being rattling. Now that the temperature is warmer, it's like everything is coming loose including the suspension. When the temperature was -16 C, I swear I was almost in tears at how solid the car felt...

    New tires detected warning on the cluster, tire pressure warning light blinking

    Hi, It's still winter here and I haven't changed tires yet my Macan 4 thinks there are new tires. It gives the message on the right pod and blinks the tire pressure light. I got out of the car for a few minutes (powered it off) but it looks like the car deleted/forgot the tire sensor pairing. I...

    Battery heating before driving ?

    I was wondering the same thing. I have never seen my battery warmer than ambient temperature by 1 or 2 degrees C. I am in cold temperatures like Finland and even after driving 45 minutes or more, the battery temperature barely moves, and stays below freezing if the weather is cold enough. That...

    2 clicks to turn off car?

    I used to just hold power button until the car powers off, but noticed it would power back up before I got out of the car. So now I also don't bother with the button at all. The car powers off as soon as I close the door and walk away. The button does have a satisfying, squishy press though. 👆

    What's in a name? What did you name your Macan EV in MyPorsche App?

    Night Fury I was hoping a thread like this would get started! I love dragons, and the "How to Train Your Dragon" series. My Chevy Volt was named Toothless (the main dragon) so I continued the trend and called my Macan EV Night Fury (the type of species that Toothless was).

    Porsche Electric Sport Sound

    I would also like to disable that sound! I come from a 2014 Chevy Volt which was long before EV's had to make pedestrian-friendly sounds. It was almost perfectly silent inside and out. There was the faintest, tiniest electric motor whine on acceleration from a stop but you had to really listen...

    Rear axle steering feels like a tire will fall off when at full lock

    I just did a quick spin around the parking lot, and you're right, it is coming from the front. It's -9C now but won't warm up that much until tomorrow/later this week where we will hit +7 Celsius. Thanks again for the support, really hope this is a normal issue although it is not a comfortable...

    Rear axle steering feels like a tire will fall off when at full lock

    Thanks for the information! It's the first time I felt it despite taking the same turns/speed multiple times but never at these temperatures. Let's see how it feels when I leave the office later today. Temperature should be at -8C compared to -22C this morning. Is this a Porsche/German car...

    Rear axle steering feels like a tire will fall off when at full lock

    Hi, I backed out of my driveway this morning and I thought I felt the rear end wobble like a tire was about to fall off. I shrugged it off as there is snow and ice on the roads and thought I was going over compact snow. When arriving at work, I have to turn full lock to drive right into the...

    Snow ❄️ in Frunk!!

    That's definitely a good use case for the frunk! I was told by the technician (on delivery) that the frunk should be closed by pressing down on the Porsche logo and not anywhere else or it would warp the hood. That kind of made me a bit paranoid to use it frequently. I will make sure it does not...

    Snow ❄️ in Frunk!!

    That can't be normal! I have never used my frunk yet but I will check it out next time it rains or snows. Considering the issues I have been having, this is further proof this car hasn't been tested in rain or snow.

    Annoying rattle/knock when going over bumpy road

    Hi, some quick updates. I am leaning towards the rattle being temperature related, with warmer weather making it worse. It's a very noticeable rattle in the rear. But another thing that I noticed is that going over bumps does not result in a solid "thump" for each axle, but more like multiple...
