To be fair, the Macan EV Turbo has the exact same problem...

Those are protection of their own, adding additional protection for those probably aren't high priority ... If I wanted to do it, I would get some sturdy adhesive lamination plastic, tape it to the plates (after cleaning and drying the plates thoroughly) and then use a paper knife to trace the...

I always recommend new engineers to read other people's code as much as possible, because that's the best way to learn different ways of solving a problem. Now, that skill comes back in spades, because now I have to read the code from Claude / Codex / Gemini / Kimi / Qwen, too... We have a...

Indeed!

The Google Maps feature that broke, was the Android Auto (and, later, iOS CarPlay) version of Google Maps, not the one built-into the car. And it "broke" in the sense that it wouldn't display on the HUD, but it'd still display on the center console.

Currently driving a rental with no lane centering and no adaptive cruise control, and I still expect it to slow down when the car in front of me does, and have to brake when I realize it doesn't .... Habits develop quickly.

I love the chalk. It makes the interior so much brighter. Then again, I wouldn't pick it back when the kids were 7 ... My wife once spilled a bunch of fruit juice on the side of the seats; it did wipe off pretty easily.

The theory "metallic paint interferes with radar" is at the same time easy to dismiss, but also actually plausible... FWIW, I haven't noticed blind spot problems (although it's super conservative when I want to change lane into a tight-as-always gap on California freeways) and I don't have a...

You can configure which of the lift heights it uses for each mode in ... one of those panels :-) Anyway, I made off-road go to lift level II. Might as well!

But did you get underglow?

I got the same changes just recently, and, surprisingly, it fixed all of my current concerns! - compass and elevation is now displayed in the instrument cluster, even while using android auto navigation - detects that I'm in a smart lift zone, even on start-up after long sleep - remote heating...

This happened on Android a month ago, and just recently got fixed, so the next version of google maps on iOS will presumably also fix it for you. Just gotta wait for Apple to approve the next version ...

They seem to ship once a month, and the previous month broke it, and this month fixed it.

The FitCamX instruction video YouTube for the Macan EV is pretty good.

Plug and Charge exists, but you have to have some billing relationship with the network, and there are many different networks available. Porsche's attempt at value-add is to set up relationships with multiple networks (Electrify America, Chargepoint, Tesla) so you can go to any of them without...
