Report the problem to your dealer and get the car's software updated if any is available. In the meantime, see if leaving the car off, walking away and keeping the key out of reach for twenty minutes restores the display. You can also try rebooting the PCM by holding down the volume knob until...

It is 06/2026... 🤷‍♂️

The built-in navigation considers elevation changes, prevalent speeds, realtime traffic and weather. Here is an example from last year. According to the battery SoC I had a range of 206 miles available and my destination was 192 miles away. Doable with the SoC but I would have arrived with an...

Also be aware that the range estimate for the battery SoC is based on your recent consumption, whereas the navigation system will consider whether the route to your selected destination includes elevation changes, speed changes or weather conditions that will significantly affect consumption...

I get your point and that's why I qualified my suggestion with short term loaner. Give the customer a fully-charged vehicle and they should be good for a couple of days in most cases. And provide a one-page sheet with simple instructions on how to charge if that becomes necessary.

I think if dealers exposed their customers with ICE Macans or Cayennes to the EV counterparts when providing short-term loaners, they might find some more converts. I've had a Macan S with 800 miles on the odometer as a loaner and was taken aback by how unrefined and out-of-date it felt. If...

My 3400 mile road trip (my first ever in an EV) last November was a breeze. It cured my anxiety about driving long distances in this car. Charging was easy, and that was while restricting myself to Electrify America locations because they were free to me at the time. If I repeated the trip...

I was comparing a 2026 Macan Turbo EV with the options I have on my 2025 against a Cayenne Turbo EV with equivalent options plus anything that's new on that model which I would want. The Cayenne was an extra $72,733. 2026 Macan Turbo EV $145,950 2026 Cayenne Turbo EV $218,683

I priced one a couple of months ago with the options that I would want and came up with a price that was more than $70K higher than the Macan I have now.

The spec sheet shows two charging ports, NACS on the left and AC on the right. I like the interior but the vehicle is too large for me. The Macan is already a tight fit where I park.

Another thing to look out for is the “Only available charging plugs“ setting in the filter screen of the app. There may be suitable charging stations in the area that don’t show up because all plugs are in use at that time. I recommend leaving this setting off and deciding where to charge based...

Powered charge doors are something that I avoided adding to my build, it's just one more thing that can break and is of no real value to me and I have no regrets regarding my decision. Probably the most useful thing about it is the light illuminating the charging port.

Porsche partner or not, they are not going to give him the tools and access to violate federal law. I'm actually surprised that he's still cozy with Porsche given what he does. I've been in the modified car scene for quite a while and while my Macan EV will be the first car in a long time that...
