Hi Folks, Electrek just released an article about Porsche providing NACS adapters now/soon. It's free for 2025+ Porsche EVs but us early adopters (2024) will have to pay $185 US. I will reach out to my dealer in Canada to see if he has more details, and will push to get it for free. It should...

Good albeit generic review overall. I also disagree about the interior. I have the Premium package, Sport chrono, 18-way seat, GT sports steering etc. and I love it. It is easy on the eyes without being spartan, incredibly comfortable and just looks great overall. The stitching is perfect...

Macan 4 with 21" Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons (love these tires for their smoothness and decently-low road noise).

Beautiful color combinations, and excellent list of options! I am 7 months into my Macan 4 ownership, and after the first month or so of having a lot of the common issues, I have absolutely loved it ever since! My Macan 4 is my first Porsche as well and I am just a few years older than you...

Hi, I brought my Macan 4 in for the rear camera recall, and brought up the suspension issue. They tested a Turbo and another 4 in stock, and all make the same cracking sound. It's 100% reproducible by simply slowing down right before the speed bump. If you reduce your speed enough to coast...

Hi, I am used to my old Chevy Volt having special-coated brake discs that never, ever rusted. Chevy was aware that regen meant that the discs were only used to stop the car at the very last meter or 2. Looks like Porsche didn't think of that! The rust goes away after a few km of driving, but...

Hi, I have the 21" Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on my Macan 4 and I am really happy with them. They are generally very quiet (except for some specific road types that are noisy with any tire), and incredibly smooth. I have always been a Michelin fan though (for comfort/longevity, not necessarily...

Hi, The issue happened again yesterday, 4 months later. All sound cut out while I was on a call in the car. I could not access the Bose configuration menu (it just goes blank) either. At the same time, I got all kinds of advanced drive assist warnings on the cluster, and then the PCM rebooted...

I don't charge past 75% as I charge at home and barely use more than 3-6% when going back and forth to the office (I also charge there). With that said, now that the weather has improved, the car is estimating 476km at 75%. At 100% it theoretically means that I can get 634km in my mostly city...

Hi, thanks for the information! It worked! For those that experience this, go to Settings->Tire and Pressure Monitor and there is the option for tire sizes. I just toggled to 22" then back to 21" Winter and it worked.

Hi, I have a dealer visit scheduled next Wednesday for a number of issues, the majority being rattling. Now that the temperature is warmer, it's like everything is coming loose including the suspension. When the temperature was -16 C, I swear I was almost in tears at how solid the car felt...

Hi, It's still winter here and I haven't changed tires yet my Macan 4 thinks there are new tires. It gives the message on the right pod and blinks the tire pressure light. I got out of the car for a few minutes (powered it off) but it looks like the car deleted/forgot the tire sensor pairing. I...

I was wondering the same thing. I have never seen my battery warmer than ambient temperature by 1 or 2 degrees C. I am in cold temperatures like Finland and even after driving 45 minutes or more, the battery temperature barely moves, and stays below freezing if the weather is cold enough. That...

I used to just hold power button until the car powers off, but noticed it would power back up before I got out of the car. So now I also don't bother with the button at all. The car powers off as soon as I close the door and walk away. The button does have a satisfying, squishy press though. ?

Night Fury I was hoping a thread like this would get started! I love dragons, and the "How to Train Your Dragon" series. My Chevy Volt was named Toothless (the main dragon) so I continued the trend and called my Macan EV Night Fury (the type of species that Toothless was).

I would also like to disable that sound! I come from a 2014 Chevy Volt which was long before EV's had to make pedestrian-friendly sounds. It was almost perfectly silent inside and out. There was the faintest, tiniest electric motor whine on acceleration from a stop but you had to really listen...

I just did a quick spin around the parking lot, and you're right, it is coming from the front. It's -9C now but won't warm up that much until tomorrow/later this week where we will hit +7 Celsius. Thanks again for the support, really hope this is a normal issue although it is not a comfortable...

Thanks for the information! It's the first time I felt it despite taking the same turns/speed multiple times but never at these temperatures. Let's see how it feels when I leave the office later today. Temperature should be at -8C compared to -22C this morning. Is this a Porsche/German car...

Hi, I backed out of my driveway this morning and I thought I felt the rear end wobble like a tire was about to fall off. I shrugged it off as there is snow and ice on the roads and thought I was going over compact snow. When arriving at work, I have to turn full lock to drive right into the...

That's definitely a good use case for the frunk! I was told by the technician (on delivery) that the frunk should be closed by pressing down on the Porsche logo and not anywhere else or it would warp the hood. That kind of made me a bit paranoid to use it frequently. I will make sure it does not...
