Welcome to the world of Macan EV ownership! You'll soon get used to receiving a frequent, random selection of error messages which look serious but go away with a restart.
This is the exact reason for my original post - as I plan to forward a link to this discussion to the Service team at my dealer the day before I take the car in.
I am in full agreement that any tech that is sold on a car, regardless of price or any other factor, should be fit for purpose and fully functional. The Audi comparison is the exact reason I have had such frustrations with my Macan! Particularly as Audi and Porsche belong to the same VW Group...
Iām not sure what the driving law is in your State, but in the UK āundertakingā (driving in a slower lane than the one of the vehicle youāre trying to pass, rather than changing into a lane that is faster and going around the vehicle youāre trying to pass) is illegal, hence the car tries to...
Blimey - it does sound like youāve got a lot of niggles! Iāve not had it as bad as that list - just a sometimes temperamental charging cover; at one point the front windows would randomly drop half way then keep bouncing open when I tried to close them (others on here have reported the same but...
? Itās not so much expecting my car to drive itself - itās expecting the paid for extras that assist my often long distance driving to work both effectively and safely. Unfortunately it does neither of those things. If you yourself had paid for an extra I would assume that a) you paid for it...
My previous car was the 2020 e-tron Sportback launch edition, and I really miss the assistance systems on it (particularly the wing cams and the 16 surround cameras which were never an option with Porsche anyway). Never had any major or regular issues and it was that car's systems (mainly the...
The great thing about living in the north Midlands is the M6 Toll Road - no speed cameras or police patrols, very few cars around at night, and the toll booths have that lovely barrier that goes up and just tempts you to do launch controlā¦. ?
it was definitely automatic not manual, unless the driver was pressing it up and down at every junction lol I think itās just due to me not realising it was two stages ?
I was following the first electric Macan Iāve seen on the road earlier today (I presume a base mode 4 as it was a late 24 number plate) I noticed that the spoiler auto extension came on at around 40mph ish, where as mine only pops up at 95 mph* (on a Turbo).
It made me wonder whether the...
Interestingly, I have road topography turned on for cruise control from and yet itās never actually slowed me down for anything. My previous car was a Launch Edition e-tron Sportback and that had topography controls even when you didnāt have cruise control on, which I absolutely loved. It would...
The later is what Iāve had to do. If I had known that about Porsches in general, I wouldnāt have bothered with Enno drive as itās quite an expensive feature not to ever work. Thanks for the update on your experience..
After 6 months of ownership my Turbo is booked in with the dealer to have the April software update installed. I've mentioned to them that the speed sign recognition has never worked effectively (or safely) since having the car so I've had to turn the function off after the last time I tried it...
