I think regulars on this forum are by now well-acquainted with the common problems that have been experienced in 2024 and 2025 Macan EV's. Among other things, update-related charging issues, frequent yellow circles, and red circles, charging port issues, rattles, spurious reboots, odd SOC and...

No; since I have been fortunate so far in not experiencing the issues the update is apparently intended to address, and seeing the issues some people are experiencing post update, I am taking the approach of not fixing what isn't broken (i.e. deferring getting the update until either I need it...

I'm not disagreeing in principle. But... it's not apparent to me whether it is PAG, PCNA, or individual dealers/service writers/service managers, or some combination, who are blaming the victims. Reading through the posts here, Porsche's entire approach to the EV's nets out to blaming the...

That is great; although if I understand correctly, that test was on a three-phase circuit. Let's hope it generalizes to the North American single phase scenario also.

I don't think this blows your theory. In fact, my bet is that you are essentially correct, meaning that the reason for whatever change was made with this update was to protect the OBC or some other aspect of the charging system, meaning to restrict the total power going to the car. In that case...

It's worse than that. It used to work, and it appears that the update broke it. They must know what was changed. It was not a problem for two years, and suddenly there are multiple reports after the update. How hard can it be to figure this out?

Good point. Interesting question

"Simple" way to reduce your voltage. This just popped into my head. My voltage at the EVSE is typically about 238 volts: I have about 150 foot run from my meter to the EVSE in my garage. (I have not had any software updates in my 2024 Macan 4). well, of course: voltage drops with run length...

Yesterday. Garage is about 6 C. Drive was about -5 C, and car was parked outside for at least an hour during the drive. 3 miles/KwH implies a range of about 285 miles. 80% would be about 225 miles, which is about what the car showed at the start. 150 miles at 80% would imply a bit over 2...

FWIW, I went to my buddy ChatGPT: Below is a version formatted for direct posting. It includes both the question and the ChatGPT response, written in neutral technical language and suitable for forum discussion. Question (for forum discussion) Several owners have reported that after the recent...

That is excellent information: thank you.

Would you mind clarifying this: does this mean to wedge your fingertips/fingernails behind the painted panel and to pull straight out? How much force is required?

This is a nit pick, but doesn't the EVSE advertise to the car and then the car decides how much to draw? In any case, most other current EV's (no pun intended) in NA will take ~11 kw from a 240v 48amp EVSE. It's hard to understand why the Macan does not and it could conceivably be a programmed...

When you say the panel is "stuck" I'm not sure if you mean physically or the software is unresponsive. Either way, though, until you get it fixed, have you tried controlling temperature and heated seat with "hey Porsche"? Normally, you could control those features by voice.

I don't know if this helps much, but in case you didn't see it.
