That level of self driving will require many new sensors as well as legislative support. I wouldn't expect something like that until after 2030, so maybe in the second Macan EV refresh. And in the case of Porsche I think it will also require market pressure -- the brand is focused on people who...

EPA isn't all driving at 70-75 MPH, it's a mix of driving conditions and speeds. You will never achieve the EPA range estimate at that speed -- neither would an ICE vehicle.

If I recall correctly there were two separate updates, v28.11 and v28.13. Maybe only the former update was done before you brought the car in for service recently?

That's the traffic sign recognition being unavailable. It is documented in the online manual. The icon is hard to see below but if you click on it it should appear in a separate tab where it can be seen more clearly...

I wish Porsche would let you configure Comfort Access to the frunk and trunk separately. I find it to be a useful feature for the trunk, but would like to disable it for the frunk.

Totally unacceptable. Especially without an explanation.

You can also disable the Comfort Access function to disable opening the frunk with a swipe on the area below the hood.

I have a history of modifying my cars and have had a dispute with the dealer that I bought my non-Porsche vehicle at where I reminded them of the Magnuson-Moss Act when I needed warranty work for something unrelated to any modifications I had made. I was told to pound sand, the dealer refused to...

L2 charging will also cost you significantly more than in almost any other state because our residential rates are some of the highest. We’re talking two or three times as much as states with significantly less solar and wind.

Public DC charging in my area is $0.64/kWh at Electrify America and $0.68/kWh at a Tesla Supercharger. It's nearly as costly to drive an electric car in California as it is to drive an ICE car with some of the highest gas prices in the nation. This state is incredibly mismanaged.

Just visit anywhere in California today and you can have that wonderful experience again.

One tip for anyone planning to do this drive: go north to south. This gets you a view of the ocean instead of oncoming traffic, and you also don't have to look into the setting sun at the end of the day.

I have the same phone and use the same placement. Works consistently, although I had to switch from a MagSafe case (required by the phone charger in my previous car) to a plain silicone case. The MagSafe magnets sometimes interfered with charging.

I'm still running a iPhone 15 Pro and haven't had any CarPlay issues except early after taking delivery in February of 2025, which I resolved by deleting my driver profile and recreating it. The problem you referenced may be specific to the model of the iPhone 15, there are hardware differences...

InnoDrive / Drive Assist will resume driving after a full stop for up to 30 seconds. After that time, all you have to do is pull the cruise control stalk towards you, and the car will resume driving.
