I appreciate all the technical details of what people have found on adapters. I don’t know all the technical details of the charging adapters but I would be cautious with a 2nd party adapter. If you don’t have an approved, registered adapter the car manufacturer will probably not pay for damage...

Not positive but I do not think that ChargePoint was ever intended to free like the EA. It was added for convenience and ChargePoint, and EA in the future, will be paid through your Porsche account.

Check with your dealer. My 2025 Macan 4 came with a portable EVSE from Porsche. I have never opened it since I previously has Tesla Gen3 in my garage. I bought a TeslaTap mini J1772 adapter. I only bought the TeslaTap mini because I already had the Tesla Gen3 AC charger for my Model S. When I...

I noticed that too.

You are arguing about heat pumps with a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry. Ciao.

I don’t understand what you are saying. The mechanics of how cold/warm air for the cabin or the temperature of the liquid supplied to control the battery temperature is immaterial. All the BTU’s needed are provided by the heat pump. Not fans blowing across a radiator as you stated in a previous...

I don’t understand what you are saying. The mechanics of how cold/warm air for the cabin or the temperature of the liquid supplied to control the battery temperature is immaterial. All the BTU’s needed to hear or cool the battery and the cabin are provided by the heat pump. Not fans blowing...

You might want to look at this information about how the Taycan maintains battery temperature. I would imagine the Macan is similar. https://www.orovel.net/insights/porsche-taycan-thermal-management in addition, from the Taycan forum “There is a single compressor (heat pump) for the interior...

I hear what you are saying but why does the AC turn off when I drive the car in Sport Chrono mode, which needs a lot of cooling power to maintain the battery temperature? Is the fan not adequate in that mode?

I hear what you are saying but heat pumps work in both cooling mode and heating mode. In one direction they extract heat from the ”outside” air and in the other they extract heat from the ”inside” air. All the same compressor. The whole SE US uses heats pumps to heat AND cool their homes. In...

Thanks. I had hoped this was the case. It has always disappeared within a few minutes of driving. I had gone through the driver assistance not available issue and when I got rid of the 3-4 warnings the collision avoidance was the only one that persisted. I have been using ACC and limited Lane...

I had this happen when I was driving home in my new 4 from Wilmington, NC. I completely removed my profile and started all over again. That was 2000 miles ago and it has worked fine ever since. The only thing odd is I get a small yellow warning showing two cars being too close. That disappears...

Something that may be related to this issue. When I put the car into chrono mode and it is hot outside, it turns off the AC, I believe in anticipation of heavy duty battery usage requiring heating or cooling. The whole cooling and heating runs of heat pumps. The fans pulling air across the...

Before getting my my Macan 4 I had a Model S with simple Autopilot that I only used on highways. As USMA81 noted it reduced fatigue but I also felt it improved my safety because i could pay more attention to the traffic around me. I haven’t had the chance to use InnoDrive on a trip yet but it...

I didn‘t get an intro gift at my 6/20 purchase. Fingers crossed, an adapter would be very cool.

I used Safelite to replace the glass in my Tesla Model S. The glass was a blue-purple color and didn't match any of the other glass. It took me about 3 months of fighting with them before Safelite and Progressive insurance finally agreed to replace the windshield with OEM glass with not extra...

My Macan 4 is also Jet Black Metallic optioned with a red interior. Hot here in the NC sun but looks awesome.

Dewalt?!!! Am I in my woodshop? LOL.

I have been driving Porsches for 30 years. You are right, parts are never cheap. The cheapest part I ever bought was a $100 replacement of the starter motor cable for my 2006 911S. It was originally totally undersized and you couldn’t start a hot engine! Porsche made the replacement part cheap...

Thanks for all you hard work.
