    Bose sound stopped working

    Hi, I have the latest (bad) firmware version, and this issue (lost all sounds) again. It has happened 3 times in 1.5 years, and unplugging the Bose amplifier power only fixed it once. I just need to exit the car, close everything and let it sit there a while. This is 100% a safety issue, as all...

    Very cold air around front driver's seat/door panel and lower area of center console (where seat buckles are)

    Ok very interesting! I tried this yesterday (full Off via PCM including the rear), and it seemed to stop the phone-charging bin air. It was only a short drive, so I will keep an eye on this. Thanks for the quick response and potential fix!

    Very cold air around front driver's seat/door panel and lower area of center console (where seat buckles are)

    Hi Folks, It is still cold here in Montreal, and I noticed the last few drives that there is very cold air flow around the lower area (seat cushion) of the front seats. This is both sides, with air flow from the door panel, and also on the center console side around the seat belt buckle and...

    Battery cells reset/rebalancing after erratic SoC readings

    Thanks a lot for the details! My car remains plugged in while idle. This wasn't happening last year so it could be related to the last update. I am bringing in my car on Friday for the charge door replacement and summer tire swap, so I will definitely bring this up. I will ask about the SoH as...

    Battery cells reset/rebalancing after erratic SoC readings

    Hi Folks, I am not sure if my issue is similar to what is described here, but I noticed in the last 2 months that I charge my car to 80%, I get the notification that it has charged to 80%, but when I get in the car, the display shows 78%, or this morning, 76%. It drops instantly as soon as the...

    Macan vs Taycan, my observations

    Hi Folks, I had a 2023 Taycan 4S as a courtesy car for over a week while my Macan 4 was getting one of the charge doors replaced. In Canada it looks like the 4S is the "lowest" end model we can get. I didn't have the spec sheet of the car but it had the passenger side screen (distracting and...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Hi Folks, the dealer needs to replace my left charge port hardware. Parts only arriving in 3 weeks though. Not a big deal as I will try to sync it with winter-to-summer tire swap. On a side note, I got a Macan 4 courtesy car that is 99% identical to mine, except it has a HUD and the Electric...

    February 2026 Consumption Stats

    Model: 4 Wheels: 21” Offroad Usual Mode: Normal Regen: Off Location: Montreal/Canada Temperature was -10C or colder for the vast majority of the month. I did not drive much as my car was at the dealer because of stuck manual charging ports. (One was replaced, and now the left side is causing...

    BMW iX vs. Macan EV review by Savagegeese

    It took 3 visits to fix the rear hatch rattle, but now I can say that my Macan 4 has no rattles. It feels like a different car having had rattles for over a year.

    Manual charging door not opening

    Aaand my left charging door is not opening again. This was not replaced. The temperature might have touched -17C but it was around -10C when I got home. No rain or snow, and the roads are dry. The newly replaced right door worked but it's probably a different issue on the left door. I won't...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Hi Folks, I got my car back last night! The work done on the charge ports is the following (lots of testing/diagnostics to figure out what was going on, but I'll list the more important work items below). Note that I had dropped the car off with both charge ports not opening: -verified fault...

    Electric Charge Ports Won’t Open

    Hi, I have manual charge doors that were just replaced today as they failed mechanically (there are various threads about the issue). So I think either charge door type is unreliable on the Macan. I am picking up my car tomorrow to see what work was done . I have a Taycan 4S as a courtesy car...

    Manual charging door not opening

    The dealer called, and they ordered replacement charge door latching mechanisms. The parts should arrive middle of this week, with installation likely for Friday. They also had to adjust my rear hatch again, the latch itself shifted since the last adjustment. Crossing my fingers that this solves...

    Electric Sport Sound - equip it or not?

    Hi Folks, my Macan 4 (without sport sound) is in the shop for various issues, and I got a Taycon as a courtesy car. It has the sport sound optioned (no idea if it's like the Macan sound though). But just driving it for about 45 minutes today, I did enjoy it for a bit. I know it is fake but it...
