I got this email from Porsche today.

My installer removed the Turbo badge, applied 3M tape, and reinstalled it. 14 months later, many car washes later, 2nd winter, not an issue.

About a year ago, I made the switch from a Taycan to a Macan. . Quick rundown here. I still miss the sleek look of the Taycan CT, but once I’m behind the wheel of the Macan for daily errands, I forget all about it. Honestly, if I had the chance, I’d go back to my pre-Taycan ride — the Panamera...

Yep, dealer install fix during a service... It is the back side, so it doesn't bother me at all, and it fixes rattles. Not worth discussing, enjoy the car!

BTW, Anyone can do the same on https://chatgpt.com/ Disclosure: Keep in mind this is AI answering, not a Porsche tech. However, in this case, locking the car and walking away for 15-20min is what has cleared such errors for me in the past... The red warning message on your Porsche Macan EV...

Since I had ChatGPT open, I copied the image and text to see what I would get. I'm sharing here a reply. Mostly accurate.... What the Display Shows That circular screen with a dot in the center and “0.0” values around it is your G-force meter, which measures acceleration, braking, and...

Would you happen to know how to reset the service message? My dealer wouldn't reset the message without any service, so I'm not sure I agree with your 2 cases...

1. At 17k, the message on the screen started showing up and was super annoying (TO ME). 2. If you look at my screenshot, right after service, next service is due in 18k miles. It doesn't say 20k as you would assume.

2 years or 20k, whichever comes first.

The difference is that yours is permanent in this position. What they did is attach it to a clip so you can move it around the belt vertically. I'll need to drive a bit to see if it helps.

If we are talking about Macan "iSeeCars analyzed over 18.5 million new cars sold in 2023-2024" = ICE

Had the car in for the 1st service. Instead of paying $1500 for the service, I asked for 2 things: 1. brake fluid flush (at 1 year, this is an overkill IMO) 2. service interval reset Total $440 I got a loaner, and they performed several different recall campaigns. I'll need to replace the...

Consider a Cayman for your track days. See how many of them are at Autobahn. No need to go to 911 for the track days IMO. If you want to stay under a budget, GR86 or a Miata. Just my 2c....

Excitement → 911 Turbo wins hands down over all of the ones I had. Tycan was the closest to a 911, sitting low and sharp around the corners, but you could feel the weight. Panamera Turbo Wagon, fast with great cornering—I wish I had kept it as an extra car since it could do all that our SUV can...

Same here. Emailed and got a reply to wait for the order to ship.
