  1. Mobile charger fitted with a UK domestic 3-pin plug

    That's great. Many thanks.
  2. Mobile charger fitted with a UK domestic 3-pin plug

    Many thanks for your advice. I do have a Hypervolt wall charger at home, so the mobile one would indeed be for emergencies.
  3. Mobile charger fitted with a UK domestic 3-pin plug

    I'm looking to purchase a mobile charger for my Macan 4 just in case my wall charger ever plays up. The Porsche Mobile Charger looks decent, and claims 'up to 7.2 kWh', but costs ÂŁ1,131. I've seen Macan 2.3 kWh chargers fitted with domestic 3-pin plugs (and 5 m cable) from a specialist...
  4. Insulated glass or rear wiper? (First post by a Porsche newbie.)

    In the end I went for the rear wiper, and don't regret my decision. My car has 20" wheels and adaptive air suspension, and is pretty quiet inside. (I don't drive it much in noisy cities.) It's much, much (much) quieter than the Tesla Model Y Long Range that I drove previously. I've needed to...
  5. Squeaky steering wheel

    Hi, In fact I do not have this option. (I'm having the issue checked out next month, and will report back.)
  6. Squeaky steering wheel

    I've had my lovely Macan 4 for just under a month, and over the past week it's developed an annoying, noticeable squeak when I manoeuvre at low speeds (such as when driving around a car park, doing a 3-point turn on my drive, or when doing tight turns into or out of a junction). It doesn't need...
  7. Cruise control issue: "Cruise Control not available drivers seatbelt undone"

    This happened to me too driving away from the dealer.
  8. Macan 4 – Quick review from 1st time Porsche owner (former Model Y owner)

    I've had my Macan 4 for just over two weeks. What I regret: In retrospect, I should have had the sideblades painted in the exterior colour (Dolomite Silver). I opted for this colour as in my experience, silver shows the dirt less than most others. However, the sideblades, being black, can start...
  9. Macan 4 EV - Octopus intelligent sync issue

    I had similar issues with my Macan 4 and the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff, but it seems to be fine now. However, crucially, I had to select my charger (a Hypervolt 3 Pro) as the 'device' on the Octopus app. and not the vehicle itself. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but...
  10. Do UK Porsche Centres ever offer a choice of registration number?

    My car has now 'left the port of shipment'. I asked my (UK) Porsche Centre if they get issued with batch registration numbers prior to registering vehicles, and if so, if I could have the opportunity of choosing my car’s registration number from what they had available? The reply was that my...
  11. Dealer error with configuration

    Update: The dealer acknowledged that there had been an 'error in the system' and offered a discount if I agreed to accept the car without the passenger display (rather than re-order one with and wait until May for delivery. I checked with another dealer, and they confirmed that this would indeed...
  12. Dealer error with configuration

    Many thanks for the sensible, sound advice.
  13. Dealer error with configuration

    Many thanks @krissrock and @shawn. The first added option was the passenger display – not my choice, but my wife insisted on having it after seeing how useful it was in independently searching and reconfiguring the GPS before 'sharing' it with the driver's system. She discovered how useful this...
  14. Dealer error with configuration

    About two months ago I asked my (UK) Porsche dealer to add an option to my Macan 4 Electric order, which they did. About a month ago I asked the dealer to add an additional (unrelated) option. When they added this option, it looks as if the previously added option 'disappeared' from the...
