    What is this beeping sound coming from the rear seat (left) or trunk area?

    Do you have front and rear cameras fitted? It sounds like mine and my husbands have done (on other cars - we have yet to get it fitted to my Macan).

    How to get the best acceleration without launch control

    "Mash pedal without warning, upset passengers" LOL!

    Experienced Red Circle of Death this morning...

    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.

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    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.

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    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...

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    I’m not sure what the driving law is in your State, but in the UK ā€˜undertaking’ (driving in a slower lane than the one of the vehicle you’re trying to pass, rather than changing into a lane that is faster and going around the vehicle you’re trying to pass) is illegal, hence the car tries to...

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    Blimey - it does sound like you’ve got a lot of niggles! I’ve 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...

    I wonder if point 2 of your observations is due to the road topography being turned on?

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    ? It’s not so much expecting my car to drive itself - it’s 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...

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    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...

    At What Speed Does Your Spoiler Extend?

    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 control…. ?

    At What Speed Does Your Spoiler Extend?

    it was definitely automatic not manual, unless the driver was pressing it up and down at every junction lol I think it’s just due to me not realising it was two stages ?

    At What Speed Does Your Spoiler Extend?

    I’ll have to not have my music quite so loud and stop singing along ?

    At What Speed Does Your Spoiler Extend?

    Ah - that may well be the case then! I thought it was either up, or down, but a mid point would make sense that I can’t see it.

    At What Speed Does Your Spoiler Extend?

    I was following the first electric Macan I’ve 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...

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    Interestingly, I have road topography turned on for cruise control from and yet it’s 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 didn’t have cruise control on, which I absolutely loved. It would...

    The later is what I’ve had to do. If I had known that about Porsches in general, I wouldn’t have bothered with Enno drive as it’s quite an expensive feature not to ever work. Thanks for the update on your experience..

    Well you definitely aren't the only person with the issue. I'll report back what my dealer says - I'm booked in for 5th June

    Speed Sign Recognition for Cruise Control - Anyone Still Having Issues? (UK users in particular)

    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...

    Easy way to toggle between normal regen(recuperation)/coasting without binding to steering wheel diamond button?

    I was just about to post this. Everyone seems to forget that the car has its own voice assistant, for this and more.
