Speed limit recognition is unreliable in every car I have driven that has this "feature". Teslas are better than most and Porsches are worse than most but, in my experience, none of these systems are reliable. I, therefore, never use them to adjust a cruise control's speed setting. I also...

Lane keep assist is horrid in all modern cars, not just Porsches. Unlike with many other cars, however, it can be switched off with a single button push in a Macan. Active Lane Keeping works well in the Macan. In my experience it's superior to Tesla's Autopilot mainly because it does not...

Having owned one for over 3 years, I have to tell you that you are wrong about this. The Tesla Supercharger network in the UK is excellent and still superior to all competing charging networks. This advantage is getting smaller with time as more competing chargers are installed and the Tesla...

See post #17 for the reason why Porsche fit it.

I may be wrong but, as I understand these things, any US government tariff would be charged on the price paid for the car on import by the importer, in this case Porsche USA. This will be considerably lower than the price paid for the car by the eventual customer because this includes the not...

I see you're in the US, so this might not apply, but in Europe, lane keeping software is mandated and manufacturers are forced to include it by law. It, therefore, is not an option that you pay extra for. It is also mandated that the system must activate each time you start the car. Porsche's...

£3k isn't expensive in the world of Hi-Fi, where high end systems can cost more than an entire Macan Turbo, so I wouldn't expect that much even from the Burmester system. I have the Bose in my car. It's fine for a car, not Hi-Fi, but no car system can really compete with a decent home set up.

No, its not a matter of camera calibration, this is an issue that effects all UK Macan EVs. The software isn't capable of correctly detecting UK speed limit signs. It will correctly identify some, but by no means all of the limits where the sign gives the number in miles per hour and it fails...

I'll certainly post the outcome of my car's scheduled visit to Porsche! When using Innodrive's Adaptive Cruise Control does setting the speed manually in your car stop the car from altering its speed in response to speed limit signs? I ask because, this is what I do on the motorway and I have...

If I recall correctly, the original topic of this thread was the Lane Keep Assist "feature" not the Innodrive function, which comprises Active Lane Keeping and Adaptive Cruise Control. I have no experience of the Audi systems, but I have a Tesla and Innodrive is basically the same as Tesla's...

I don't think so, at least in the UK, for this reason (given in the thread you mention).

@Wivenhoe, When you turn off the speed limit warning, the actual speed limit (or what Porsche thinks it is!) remains displayed in the main display (in front of the driver), but the otherwise irritating audible warning is silenced.

I doubt it would because of this:-

Lane Keep Assist is hopeless in my Macan and keeps trying to cause the car to veer off course, but in my experience, the equivalent systems in all current cars are just as bad! Innodrive 's Active lane Keeping, on the other hand, is on a par with Autopilot in my Tesla in most respects and...

Porsche and most other European manufacturers are totally committed to EVs. They have little choice given that the sale of new ICE powered cars is due to be banned sometime between 2030 and 2035 in most of Europe. Manufacturers are already facing government imposed financial penalties for...
