  1. MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    It's on the Goodbye screen that appears when you shift the car from Drive to Park. There might be another way to manually force that screen to come up, but not sure.
  2. MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    I'm not seeing it in the app either. Is it supposed to be there? I typically use the buttons on the Goodbye screen on the PCM to open my charge port doors.
  3. MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    I'm having the same issue with our new Lucid Gravity. The Grizzl-E I've had for 5 years charged our Mach-E just fine, and charges our Macan just fine. But faults every time I plug in the Gravity. So I tried the mobile charger that came with the Gravity using the same 240V outlet, and it works...
  4. Impact of cruising speed on range

    Both are important, of course, but I find range to be more important than charging speed. The best charging session is the one you can completely skip because you have the range to do so. Charging infrastructure is probably better in Europe than it is the US (although that varies by region...
  5. NFL Playoff Game on Macan EV Passenger Screen??

    I don't know if it will do YouTube TV, but have you tried the YouTube app that's available to download in the PCM? That app works reasonably well for regular YouTube content. Trying to use the Vivaldi browser for any sort of web-based video is a chore. The screen navigation is difficult, the...
  6. Impact of cruising speed on range

    Just completed a 2 week road trip thru CO/UT/NV/ID/WY. First one that dipped down into the teens on a few legs, and 20-30 degrees for about half of it. MPK always falls in the cold, of course, but it fell even more in the Macan than it did in our Mach-E. We were only getting 1.9-2.2 on the...
  7. How to Log In as Main User?

    Just saw this. Unfortunately I don't remember how I got it working now. It was back in June, about 20 software problems ago. I do remember deleting both user profiles from the car at one point and "starting over" (I think there's a bar code to scan in the process). Maybe that was it? I never...
  8. Impact of cruising speed on range

    Yes, although air drag is only part of what determines vehicle mileage at various speeds. It's a big factor but only one factor. Rolling resistance of the tires is another factor, for example, that varies with speed.
  9. Impact of cruising speed on range

    Oh yeah, local driving is totally different than road trip cruising for 1000's of miles. Locally we hit 4 or even 5 MPK on occasion. But that's short little legs (like <10 miles). Can't really tell anything by that since it's heavily skewed by little things (fast/slow starts, lots of...
  10. Impact of cruising speed on range

    The 19% less MPK (mi/kWh) at 80 vs 70 in Tom's video is fairly consistent with what we see too. We've done 4 long (2000+ mi) road trips in ours now with mostly 75-80 MPH speed limits, but also some 65-70 mixed in. Just the difference between 75 and 80 probably costs around 10%. Although how...
  11. Leaving car for 6 weeks - plug in or no?

    One would hope, but that's the problem - hoping rather than having confirmation. This was a common topic with the Mach-E 3-4 years ago too when it came out. A software update finally did something to make the car check the LVB more often, but I think the car still had to "wake up" to do it...
  12. Leaving car for 6 weeks - plug in or no?

    Yep. Each EV model handles it a little differently. I don't know what triggers the Macan to charge the 12v battery from the HVB. One idea is to set a weekly departure time while you're gone in hopes that it checks and charges the 12v as necessary. But I don't know if that really works. Just a...
  13. Quick Question: if charging station added manually to a route in PCP does the battery get preconditioned?

    It does. Launching another nav will cancel the other. I've done that with AA.
  14. Quick Question: if charging station added manually to a route in PCP does the battery get preconditioned?

    And then we can nav directly to the DCFC station as the destination? Cool. I'll have to try that. Thanks!
  15. Quick Question: if charging station added manually to a route in PCP does the battery get preconditioned?

    That's about what I would expect. Yours seemed to work. Seems like mine isn't working as it should have gone up at least 7F-10F in half that time. Unless maybe preconditioning doesn't happen if the battery is already above 50F or something? Be nice if there were a better way to do this. I...
  16. Quick Question: if charging station added manually to a route in PCP does the battery get preconditioned?

    I did a short test in ours yesterday. Battery and outside temp were both 56F when I got in. Switched it to Sport+ (we have the chrono) for the 10 minute drive. Still 56F when I arrived. I know 10 minutes isn't long enough to do a full precondition but it didn't even move a degree, let alone...
  17. Quick Question: if charging station added manually to a route in PCP does the battery get preconditioned?

    A precondition button would be even better, yes. But in the absence of that, setting the nav to a DCFC station name vs any other destination name should be an easy alternative.
  18. Quick Question: if charging station added manually to a route in PCP does the battery get preconditioned?

    Logically, you would nav to the food place instead. Or the shopping place. Not the DCFC.
  19. Quick Question: if charging station added manually to a route in PCP does the battery get preconditioned?

    Unless I'm missing what you're saying, the destination is not an icon, it's the entire top section of the nav showing arrival time, arrival%, etc. Then the recommended en-route charging stops are little boxes that slide up/down the vertical line based on how far away they are. In any case, not...
  20. Quick Question: if charging station added manually to a route in PCP does the battery get preconditioned?

    So if we set the destination to be a DCFC station, it won't precondition? We always nav station to station, not to the final destination of the day.
