Hi Folks, My Macan 4 is my first Porsche experience and it echoes what most of you are saying. It drives beautifully, but it's a software nightmare. Almost exactly 1 year of ownership, and I am convinced that the issues are weather related. The first three months that I had the car were during...

Hi Folks, Adding to this thread instead of opening a new one. We had our first big snowstorm in Montreal, and I got the "Right charge port impaired" amber warning earlier today. However this is what actually happened, and the issue is on the left charge port though. I was turning into my...

Hmm this is great info! Not sure how it connects, I didn't think of the car's WiFi taking over. Thanks, I'll look into this! Cogs

Hi Folks, I just got a text message (and Porsche app warning) that my Macan 4 EV has used 80% of its 3GB data plan. I have tried the onboard maps once just to see how it looks, and downloaded a 20-something MB game for fun. But that's all I (thought) I was using the car's built-in data plan...

Hi Folks, I wanted a set of 21" wheels for the winter on my Macan 4 EV. There are a few online shops for wheels in Canada but many are not showing correct wheels (wrong bolt patterns etc). I ordered a set of Braelin BR10's from Quattro Tires but unfortunately they do not fit. Quattro Tires had...

Hi Folks, aside from my very underwhelming purchase experience (they just removed a cover from my car, and I had to ask for any kind of Porsche swag), the service has been amazing at Porsche Prestige (dealer closer to where I live). The technical rep is excellent, they update me with texts and...

The assistance systems error disappeared after a few days (i.e. no error today). BUT the weather was crazy hot on Sunday (22 C for Montreal in October!), and a nice 17 C today as well. Let's see if it comes back when the temperature drops more later in the week.

This Assistance Systems Limited warning popped up and has stayed on all day, despite leaving the car multiple times for a few hours in between each drive. It is actually seeing and displaying the correct speed limit. My car has all the recent updates. I swear I knew I would start having...

Hi Folks, Thanks for chiming in with your experiences. I forgot to mention a couple of more good things and tiny annoyances: I have the Bose sound system, and for the first few weeks, I thought it sounded terrible (like others have expressed). But after those few weeks, it's like something...

Hi Folks, I just received my adapter today! I am based in Montreal, Canada for reference. It's heavier than I expected, and comes in a nice carrying case! I have a 2024 Macan, purchased December 2024.

Hi Folks, Just wanted to post a super long review of my 2024 Macan 4 EV since I got it last December. As a quick recap, I went from a 2014 Chevy Volt (love that car!) to this beast. It's the first Porsche that I have ever owned although I have enjoyed my brother's 2014 Panamera on some road...

Hi, I have a 2024 Macan 4 and have experienced these issues twice in 9 months since I got it. One issue is the sound completely cutting out, not even the turn signals make a sound. The recommendation to unplug and reconnect the power cable on the Bose unit in the trunk worked the first time, but...

Thanks! I stand corrected (regarding Macan EV 2024 models). From the link: " Going forward, all new model year 2026 Porsche Taycan and Macan Electric models will include Porsche NACS DC adapter at no additional fee. Model year 2025 Taycan owners and all existing Macan Electric owners are...

Hi Folks, Electrek just released an article about Porsche providing NACS adapters now/soon. It's free for 2025+ Porsche EVs but us early adopters (2024) will have to pay $185 US. I will reach out to my dealer in Canada to see if he has more details, and will push to get it for free. It should...

Good albeit generic review overall. I also disagree about the interior. I have the Premium package, Sport chrono, 18-way seat, GT sports steering etc. and I love it. It is easy on the eyes without being spartan, incredibly comfortable and just looks great overall. The stitching is perfect...
