  1. Feeling The Heat from Windshield Glass

    I have nano ceramic tint on every panel on the car. It helps a ton with the heat rejection.
  2. Does charge run out at 0?

    It's a 100 kWh pack but limits us to 95 of it so there is probably some reserved at 0% in order to prevent the battery from going truly to 0 but it's not something we have access to so for all intents and purposes, 0 is 0.
  3. Sunroof Shade

    Seems this might be the best solution: https://bogartechdesigns.com/products/fits-porsche-macan-2015-2025-precut-premium-sunroof-panoramic-roof-protection-film-clear-bra-decal-film-kit?_pos=9&_sid=b179ca366&_ss=r I don't know if it fits electric macans, have put in an inquiry about it but if it...
  4. Can't reverse looking backwards

    Sounds like you need to clip the seat belt on and then sit on top of it.
  5. Sunroof Shade

    Yeah that sunblind does very little for the radiating heat. Wife sits in the back with the infant and says her head is too hot from the sun. It's usually fine for short trips but after like 30 minutes the roof is too hot from the baking sun.
  6. Sunroof Shade

    Anyone tried finding something to put to block the sunroof completely? I live in the SW and I have nano ceramic tint but that only blocks the sun directly but the sun heats up the roof glass and radiates heat down on the back passengers after a while. Something like this but that would work...
  7. The roof allows more heat in than I'd like

    I have the acoustic privacy glass and I have tint on every pane and there's zero issues. Just make sure you go to a reputable place and get high quality tint.
  8. The roof allows more heat in than I'd like

    I got the XPEL tint with the 99% heat rejection (forget the model name) and it's made a big difference in how much heat gets through. Highly recommend it. Now I can keep the sunroof fabric cover open as well.
  9. Did I blow it by not ordering the HUD?

    It's all personal preference. I love the HUD because it allows me to take less moments off the road since I'm constantly checking my speed. The only thing I dislike about the HUD is that at night time, the background (whatever it's called) that the display is projected onto isn't completely...
  10. Front trunk liner

    I have all the other mats from suncoast, forgot about the frunk.. which I have yet to use. Thanks will order this.
  11. Are these pigtail for the 12v battery?

    Don't understand why there isn't a small key in the fob that lets you manually open it instead... the whole 12V recovery system is so cumbersome.
  12. Can you set Charge Level at 45%?

    Says unable to send charge rate to vehicle if I try 45%. But why would you want to? 50% is the state in which your battery has the least amount of stress, that's probably why Porsche doesn't let you go below 50%. If you're going away for a long time, 50% plugged in is going to be the ideal rate.
  13. Dashcam installation issues -- fuse box location?

    I got this option and got the Porsche Dashcam but it's a shitty value on a mediocre dashcam being that you pay $140 for the option, another $500 for the dashcam and then I paid the dealer another $1350 for the installation. Only way I suggest doing this is if you can make the dealer install it...
  14. Did anyone option the air filtration system? Opinions?

    I just attributed that to the god awful overwhelming smell of the new car, but maybe it was the filter.
  15. Did anyone option the air filtration system? Opinions?

    I got it since I have an infant and figured why not? But I'm not really sure if it helps or not. Hard to really tell in any objective way. I just assume worst case it does nothing different, best case it helps keep the inside air a little cleaner.
