    Beware Costly Bird Strikes

    It is when you’re on the motorway, as we have a lot of ā€˜variable speed limits’ which change regularly throughout the day depending on traffic flow, accompanied by a lot of speed cameras. So if you only set the speed to 70mph you could easily drive through a 60/50/40 mph zone and have anything...

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    So an update after my trip to the dealer….. they installed the software update, which is what they said should hopefully fix the issue. When I picked up the car they admitted themselves that they had tested it and although it was better it wasn’t great still (not very helpful then lol) My...

    Beware Costly Bird Strikes

    The UK market has had an issue with the traffic sign recognition not working safely when using the cruise control. I had a software update last Thursday (finally after 6 months of owning the car) which had improved it, but within an hour of me leaving the dealership the car was already telling...

    Active Parking Support not usable in my experience

    Funnily enough we tried yet again to use it today to park in a multi-story car park as my husband wanted me to demonstrate it, even though I protested because every single time I've tried it it just ignores all of the spots. Again today it slowly sailed past at least 8 spots, before I turned it...

    Beware Costly Bird Strikes

    Amusingly, and to my benefit, I looked at the Mach E when I was searching for my previous electric car to the Macan. My husband (and chief purchase decision maker, as we put both of our cars through his business) thought the same as your wife so I ended up with £20k larger budget and an Audi...

    Flatted! Michelin Pilot 21 - rear driver's side

    I feel your pain (and relief that you/I got tyre & alloy insurance!). 2 months into having mine I managed to get a sizeable piece of metal stuck in also the rear drivers tyre. In the UK, Porsche Assist is run by The AA, who are fairly reliable at picking up (they got to me in two hours...

    CarPlay WhatsApp messages no longer read out

    It can be temperamental at the best of times. Mine reads out my messages 99% of the time, but 50% of those have the music playing in the back ground at the existing volume, rather than the other 50% for which the ambient music quietens. Quite annoying as I then can't hear the message properly...

    What is this beeping sound coming from the rear seat (left) or trunk area?

    Do you have front and rear cameras fitted? It sounds like mine and my husbands have done (on other cars - we have yet to get it fitted to my Macan).

    Experienced Red Circle of Death this morning...

    Welcome to the world of Macan EV ownership! You'll soon get used to receiving a frequent, random selection of error messages which look serious but go away with a restart.

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    This is the exact reason for my original post - as I plan to forward a link to this discussion to the Service team at my dealer the day before I take the car in.

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    I am in full agreement that any tech that is sold on a car, regardless of price or any other factor, should be fit for purpose and fully functional. The Audi comparison is the exact reason I have had such frustrations with my Macan! Particularly as Audi and Porsche belong to the same VW Group...

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    I’m not sure what the driving law is in your State, but in the UK ā€˜undertaking’ (driving in a slower lane than the one of the vehicle you’re trying to pass, rather than changing into a lane that is faster and going around the vehicle you’re trying to pass) is illegal, hence the car tries to...

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    Blimey - it does sound like you’ve got a lot of niggles! I’ve not had it as bad as that list - just a sometimes temperamental charging cover; at one point the front windows would randomly drop half way then keep bouncing open when I tried to close them (others on here have reported the same but...
