to be fair Porschde has advanced - their idea of OTA updates are a app notification or email telling you to take the car to the dealer for a 6 week software update that might brick the car causing more delay in the dealership getting you your vehicle back… this _IS_ progress in that Porsche did...

OTA updates :CWL: it’s done at a dealership while the car is plugged into an external 12v power supply and using a porsche pwiis service computer OTA ROFL

it makes no difference - all Tesla Wall Connectors offer compatibility as a pure-simple J-1772 EVSE…and can be configured to be : Tesla Only, Tesla-only vin-limited, "compatible" - they come from the factory in default mode of "Any Electric Vehicle"… also it's clear from the feedback this...

hmmmm - L1 chargers should work fine - hybrid and EV's use the same EVSE protocol and charging power - but at this point in time I'm not sure what to tell you - I own 3 x Gen3 Tesla Wall Chargers and they all charge my 2024 Macan Turbo just fine.

if the Porsche charger that came with the car is not working - it's the car - bring the charger and the car to Porsche and let them sort it out… at this point it's likely the car.

have you tried both charging ports on the Macan? is this adapter known to work with other EV's?

yeah the FUD'sters were mostly FUD - it's a well done implementation - works even if your phone is dead!! I'm looking forward to this in future Porsche models - I'm more convinced than ever there is new hardware embedded in the vehicle for this new feature - _IF_ there is a retrofit it would be...

it will also given you insight into why Porsche does not consider "one pedal driving" useful - when you learn about and experience controlled weight transfer for car control reasons you will understand Porsche's perspective on this EV feature - trust me! :rock: one pedal driving makes weight...

I've tracking Porsche's for 14+ years - the _BEST_ car skills instruction I've received is rally school mud/gravel/ice driving skills - where do you get such instruction/practice? DirtFish Rally school!! https://dirtfish.com/learn/grab-15-off-this-black-friday-and-cyber-monday/ 15% off Dirt...

I was able to get 3 of the 4 codes to apply to my EVgo account - the WINTERREADY5 code does not redeem for me - YMMV! but I now have $20 worth of codes added to my EVgo account for future charging - I think they are use-it-or-lose-it in the next 30 days or so - but it is "free" electrons YMMV...

it’s expected that the big battery charges the 12v battery until the big battery is “too low” - as long as there are no bugs in Porsche’s battery mgmt software you can run the the AC power outlet for quite some time! and the car will have plenty of power to wake up for normal operation

Audi Q6 is not a Macan - it's a choice - but it's not a Macan and there are differences in feel, power, handling and amenities - if you're considering a Q6 then you can also include Ionqi, Model Y, EQS or other EV… GTS all day long in my opinion, but the 4S is a reasonable choice.

GTS no brainer - move on
