Sure there is. Choose sport mode and then set whatever you want to normal and tap the check mark to save that configuration. That's now your individual mode. The only thing you can't do is save a drive mode to your profile. The car always starts in normal, which is admittedly a little annoying...

That's good (bad) news...shows that there are cars delaminating without external damage and so hopefully you will have more luck with the warranty claim now.

It's right at 150kW, actually. You are not allowing for rounding in these calculations. "26 minutes" means anywhere between 26:00 and 26:59, and 10 to 80% means anywhere from 9.5 to 80.4%. SoC calculations can fluctuate by 1-2% as well, and the "energy delivered" amount also has losses in it...

There is a 0% chance this is true in North America in May. It's (1) not physically possible for your battery to have been cold enough to slow charging by any measurable amount anywhere in New England this week or (2) even if you did park in an industrial deep freezer for some reason, it's not...

It's NOT glass. It's plastic. It's not cracking from heating and cooling and no one from Porsche who knows anything would say so. It might be delaminating from a molding defect, but again, delaminating plastic does not put swipe marks on surface dust above the scratches/scrapes or imprint marks...

Exactly. SoC is a calculated value. The error bars are not more than a single digit percentage. They're not changing the power curve by 50kW or adding 50 miles of range here.

15C is not cold enough to need preheating. People place way too much importance on a relatively minor feature that is useful to a relatively small number of drivers. The Porsche Macan has a 1200 pound lithium battery pack. Lithium batteries have a specific heat capacity around 0.5 BTU per pound...

If you are at a 350kW station and you're getting ~120kW, that is the restricted output "safe" mode for the box, caused by any number of factors, such as: Cable cooling failure Temperature probe failure Transformer overheating Tripped supply breaker Transformer fault limiting output to 400V...

It's plastic, not glass. Delamination of defective plastic is possible, but doesn't explain the pollen/dust being disturbed or the light paint scratching underneath the trim where it chipped. Something physical had to cause those.

It really doesn't make a difference. Any battery temp between 5 and 30C is only going to deviate by less than a minute. DC fast charging generates a tremendous amount of heat very rapidly. If you're in some sort of Scandinavian or arctic town, then the only change in the model is still just...

The charging station delivered less than 50% of the requested power...taking a 15 minute estimate to 28 minutes, which was correctly calculated within a minute of the charge starting. This is not "over 2X wrong". It was showing 15 minutes from 37 to 80%, which is the correct estimate if the...

Somebody dropped or swiped something against the trim piece. It's the exposed edge for something to fall on it from above, and you can see in the second photo the chips in the plastic and the impression they made on the paint underneath when snapping off. The dust/pollen shows a rightward and...

Any additional amount of time spent driving to find a 350kW charger would probably be better spent charging at the 150kW station. Yes, the 350kW stations are faster when they're working fully--I've seen as high as 262kW in my Macan and charged up 75kW in 20 minutes. But a 150kW station is still...

Totally hear you. It's just hard to troubleshoot because there are so many variables (Is regen supposed to happen at this stopping force? Can the battery take the energy? Is the power meter accurately showing regen behavior? Is the electric motor providing stopping force but not charging the...

Those are not stress cracks if you mean internal stress from assembly or manfacture. That's surface impact damage, and it very clearly does not run continuously along the entire length. There are big gaps where it skips over, and that right angle near the reverse camera is a telltale sign that...

Three of those four conditions are not expected to result in any regen in the power display: Strong press: straight to hyrdaulic brakes, no regen Coasting: no regen Letting off accelerator: no regen unless recuperation is switched on in PCM A light press of the brake pedal is the only one that...

Doesn't look like it was inaccurate, though. The initial estimate in the first minute of plugging in is based on what the car asked for from the charger...and when it didn't deliver that, the estimate was revised. 50kW in 15 minutes is possible at 200kW+, which is possible at 37% SOC on a 350kW...

In my case, the sensor itself was totally fine. It just had a bad bond to the windshield at the factory, so it was sitting at a weird angle to the glass and therefore couldn't "see" the rain properly. All they had to do was clean and reapply the adhesive. It sounds like they have removed and...

Doesn't work 100% of all time or doesn't work 100% of the times when it is supposed to? Because there are lots of circumstances where the brake pedal won't use regenerative braking and will switch immediately to the hyrdaulic brakes. That's normal. Or do you mean lightly pressing the brake...

3dB is a doubling in power, not loudness. Perceptually, 2.5dB is very minor--most people cannot perceive a 1dB difference. 2dB is the threshold for normal hearing. It takes 10dB for a sound to double in loudness. Yep. Super important to realize--wind and environmental noise are the only things...
