I saw this problem on 2 cars during test drives. To resolve it, the SA had me fully stop the car and power it off. Unclick seat belt. Open door. Shut door. Reclick seat belt. Then put car in reverse or drive. The SA told me that the problem is putting the car in drive or reverse when the seat...

This may be an artifact of my initial problems with Electrify America and they may be resolved. When I first picked up the Macan, if I plugged it to an EA EVSE with Direct Charging=Off; Navigation=Off; Charging Limit=80%; Charging_Schedule=0550 Departure ... then the car would not start charging...

I can easily answer the scenario #4 question because it smacked me today! If you don't shut off navigation, the navigation system tells the charging system how much power to put into the car to make the next charging stop. Charging stops and you begin to eat into your 10 minute grace period to...

Has anyone heard of methods to assess battery health on the Macan EV? I'm already thinking about how one can assess the state of a used car so that I can pick up another.

By my nature, I do not trust any of these systems. I hold the wheel and keep my right foot ready to brake or accelerate. I think turning on your turn signal completely disables LKA ... so, when I'm avoiding someone walking on the right side of the road, turning on the turn signal towards the...

I am hardly an expert on this but I figured it out by process of elimination. The Direct Charging setting appears to enable the car to start to charge immediately upon "valid" connection to a charger instead of waiting. Scenario 1: in my home, I have a level 2 charger. The normal behavior of my...

Mercedes customers just obtained the ability to connect at Tesla supercharging stations and their cars have a software patch available at the dealer to enable plug & charge on the Tesla network. You should expect something similar from Porsche, especially because Mercedes adds margin to the...

I had a very similar first charge experience at an EA charger. I also was shocked to learn that the charging system just stopped charging the car because the navigation system told it the car only needed 10% to make it to the next charging station. My first charging experience was also...

I found the "Direct Charging" setting while I was following Porsche navigation that included charging. Enabling Direct Charging allows immediate charging regardless of state of charge or departure schedule. I enabled this setting during my route planning because I stopped at a different charger...

Does this collapsable spare tire allow cars with 22" tires to drive at 50 mph after a flat? I could see there being a limit on 20" or 21" rims for the spare to function, so I thought I would ask.

Thank you for responding. Oh, that would be hilarious if my Porsche is telling me to wash it. The car is currently in a high humidity locale. But it rests in a temperature and humidity controlled garage. On high humidity days, when cars exit the garage, they get condensation on the front...

Hi Everyone, I'm seeing an issue with the "Warn and Brake assist warning light". During normal driving, it can illuminate if someone walks in front of the car, as an example. The warning light is yellow when you see it on the dash. It's hard to see in the manual because of the yellow color of...

You get drivability and the state-of-the-art in battery charging for road trips. If you want to look of an example of less drivability and still state-of-the-art for battery charging, look at the Audi Q6 and SQ6 and pay a little less. I really don't understand how Audi missed me as a customer so...

We extensively cross-shopped the Tesla X and Y against the Macan 4 EV and bought the Macan 4 because the 14-way seats are a lot more comfortable. My spouse does not care which car accelerates the fastest. She's trading a Lexus RX350 AWD for the Macan 4 EV. if we're going to drive up and down a...

After test driving all of them and preferring the smallest wheel possible to increase range, I ended up with forged 22" Macan Sport wheels with all season tires. My wife can't tell the difference between the standard wheels and the 22" wheels while driving in normal mode on the air suspension...
