    Marques Brownlee's Auto Focus Macan Turbo review

    I think it depends on how you drive. Since the brake pedal on Macan has regen blended in, technically you could mimic the auto regen with the pedal by being slow and gentle with the brake. Or choose to dynamically. If you think about how you can brake hard for a short period or gently for a...

    Charge flaps not opening!!

    Some people have reported this on the manual doors too. It seems whatever it is, it is not related to the motorization but the software that initiates a release, whether power doors or not.

    VW Group Cutting Production Models by 50% - Which Porsche EVs?

    I’m not sure if cutting trims really affects the manufacturing pipeline that much. Some of the trims share the same drivetrain already. There are some unique parts (I think body styling mostly). Maybe it simplifies inventory but choosing from a million options is kind of Porsche’s signature and...

    Marques Brownlee's Auto Focus Macan Turbo review

    That’s just it. Without real expertise it is one guy’s opinion on a bunch of subjective things, and many of these I don’t agree with. It’s really kind of meaningless and the lack of understanding on how to charge a non-Tesla is just icing on the cake. That one is not subjective. The leg room is...

    Marques Brownlee's Auto Focus Macan Turbo review

    He is a good presenter, but honestly not super insightful or knowledgeable. I stopped watching when he started shilling his Ridge wallet/chargers and I got the distinct impression at one point that he was being paid to shill for certain Android devices. it doesn’t surprise me at all that he...

    Out Of Spec Dave Wraps Up Macan Lease

    That makes it even more short sighted to get out of a car early for a lifetime FSD on a car you’re probably going to move away from after a short period of time just because you need another car to generate more content. Or maybe they will hold onto it as a second car as they cycle through...

    Drop frame function doesnt seem to do much

    I just measured mine with a laser. Looks like it depends on the mode you’re in. Normal -> kneel for load is 2 5/8” drop 66.67mm Low (sport plus) -> kneel for load is 1 1/2”drop or 38mm Video of it returning to normal after closing the door:

    Drop frame function doesnt seem to do much

    With air suspension it is significant. Not sure if the base model has it.

    Macan Turbo EV – Charging limited to 110 kW, heading back to dealer for the third time

    There are a few posts on here. We believe if the cells become unbalanced they can’t all take a charge at the same time and this lowers the max rate. Not sure why the imbalance would occur but I saw it once six months ago when the car was mostly used for short trips. There is a written...

    Macan Turbo EV – Charging limited to 110 kW, heading back to dealer for the third time

    Did they try a rebalance of the cells already? Or have you tried the rebalance trick?

    Quick Report - summer road trip on I-15

    It does(and/or apps do). If you’re ten to fifteen minutes away from three different stations though it won’t tell you what the availability will be when you get there, or if there is a queue already. I had an experience where I chose between station A with one available slot and station B which...

    Quick Report - summer road trip on I-15

    My family took a road trip from Utah to California and back over the last week. Nothing too remarkable to report, not going to analyze efficiency or anything but just wanted to share a few things. Even though we have a larger vehicle that we have road tripped before (Volvo EX90), I opted for...

    IONNA charging makes road trips much more feasible

    Used Ionna over the holiday weekend, cost $14. They were having a special at $0.19 per kWh, didn’t realize it until I was charging. I just chose Ionna because I was interested in trying it out.

    Aftermarket TPMS

    Ok, thanks for the help. I got the sensors and the TS508WF programmer. I was able to clone the OEM sensors, and also see through OBD that my car has an unknown sensor learned on one of the slots, so I think the tire shop only really programmed one correctly. I can totally see how they screwed...
