I guess they are orange as Porsche decided with the MY26 to make their error messages look less critical :). This was mentioned somewhere along the announcement of the GTS.
Not sure if this is the solution as mine and other cars are losing charge even if it's cold outside and around 6-10 degrees in the garage. This function is saying that it will cool down the battery when it's too hot outside. I would definitely not consider 6-10 degrees (Celsius) as too hot.
I personally can not confirm that the app is responsible for this. There are times where I do not use the app at all (for example during the night while the car is charging in the garage), but next time I drive the car the SoC decreased.
Very good summary! As I am having the same issues, I guess I'll give it a try. But as I understand you, this hasn't fixed the root cause, right? You "just" figured out what's happening.
BTW: In the outofspec review on YouTube about the new GTS, Kyle mentioned that the new Macans in all...
I guess all of these issues related to the SoC can be summed up to: You cannot rely on this car. No matter if it's losing SoC or if it's just not displaying the SoC correctly.
Just imagine this would happen in a gas powered car. You fill it up in the evening and next morning half of the tank...
Still same issue for me. Not possible to charge to 80% anymore. This time it ended up at 76% even though the app told me it reached 80% 8 hours ago. I also experienced a huge drop in range even though my overall consumption actually decreased. At 50% of charge it shows me around 120 km of range...
I don't want to destroy your hopes, but it's not the same plastic as the Macan 4 / 4S. The ones from the GTS are pained in partially gloss black or silk black.
