    Service experience today, combustion Macan comparison

    Let’s be honest, most EV drivetrains are also uninspiring. Their party trick is lots of torque from standstill, but there are also other aspects that people look in a performance car. And what handicaps EVs the most is their weight and the effect on handling. I hope to see those issues largely...

    Preconditioning a myth ?

    Where the time savings matter most would be on a road trip where you arrive with a low SoC, but in that case the internal temperature of the battery pack would often be near the ideal temperature anyway. I see pre-conditioning as largely unnecessary.

    Actual charging time almost 2X longer vs predicted.

    It doesn’t make sense for EA to slow down the charging past 80%, it is in their best interest to get people in and out as quickly as possible and free up the charger. The cars slow down significantly at that point, but the EVSE doesn’t. That’s why EA has a 85% charging limit at some of their...

    How to read the battery temp indicators on the instrument cluster?

    You’re looking at the minimum and maximum operating temperature, and the area in the bracket is the ideal range for charging.

    Bose sound system not quite up to snuff?

    The speakers need to be broken in before they reach their full potential. Play music with full dynamic range and at a good volume for a few weeks

    My Porsche - update

    Try force-quitting the App Store app and restarting it to see if that gets you unstuck. Having said that, I've not seen an update of the My Porsche app here in the US since two weeks ago.

    Does the Macan have REGULAR cruise control?

    Just set it to the speed you want, the car won't go faster than that. However, it will slow down as needed to avoid a collision.

    Poll: How many actual Macan Electric’s have you seen in the wild?

    #18, a Frozen Blue Macan 4. I like the color more than I thought I would.

    Quite possible. It will be interesting to hear from anyone who has the recall done whether there is a discernible difference.

    Insulated glass or rear wiper? (First post by a Porsche newbie.)

    I have the insulated glass and have been impressed by how well it cuts down on heat in the cabin. I was sitting in my car for an hour last weekend in direct sunlight, with the sun coming in through the driver side window. I never felt uncomfortable, something I could not say about my previous...

    Poll: How many actual Macan Electric’s have you seen in the wild?

    I saw #17 earlier today, my almost-twin. I was waiting in line to charge at an Electrify America station when a gentleman parked his nearly identical Slate Gray Neo Turbo behind me.

    Is it possible to remove Bose subwoofer?

    In addition to the wiring the subwoofer would need to be enabled through coding in the PCM — just connecting it isn’t enough. Anything non-standard like that could require research and a cooperative dealer.
