I definitely understand that a full size spare wouldn't fit in the Macan, but I do wish they would have designed the frunk to hold a donut spare. There are some sections of highway in the US, and a lot of backroad trails, where there is zero cell-phone coverage and calling for roadside...

Of every person that commented on the thread, you and 1 or 2 other people agreed that creep should be off by default. With the summary as you wrote it, I have to believe you're actually a Grok bot, complete with Elon's distortion filter.

For a true faraday cage, the cage needs to be connected to something to either absorb or dissipate the RF energy. Most typically it would be connected to the electrical ground for the building.

Is the faraday box grounded? Without grounding it is just a metal cage which will only attenuate the signals, and the signal from the car may be powerful enough for the key to sense and keep itself on.

Are the keys normally kept within 30 feet of the car? If so, it could be the UWB radio is staying active in the key instead of shutting down (UWB uses a lot more energy than NFC).

Also, you want your foot on the brake pedal when you're stopped because if you are rear-ended, when you naturally start to stiffen your body after the initial jerk of the collision, you want your foot to mash the break so it stops you from continuing further into an intersection and exposing you...

Yeah, that's only required if you forgot / lose your PIN. If you have to reset the PIN without knowing the current one, then you need to factory reset in the car afterwards.

My thoughts are similar. I didn't get the Macan instead of the Q6 because of prestige or how it looks. For me was handling, more physical controls for climate (now if only there was a dedicated "previous" button on the stereo), and I do like the interior a bit better, but not significantly so.

I've loved my 3 EVs (i-Pace, iX, Macan), but I have to say there aren't many places that tax cars correctly to account of wear and tear on the roads. EVs are heaver than comparable ICE vehicles, even fully loaded with fuel. Trucks, especially industrial trucks, even more so. The fairest way...

I was still able to access the PCM, just nothing related to the account. Clicking the menu icon on the left still worked in my case, so I could get to settings. If yours can't even do that you probably have to take it in so they can hard reset it by rerunning PDI.

I had to search on Porsche's site. Here's the link to the procedure

I had this happen to me after I entered the wrong pin too many times (I had created my Porsche account months ago and forgot what I used). Once that happened I had to reset the pin on the porsche site, but that requires resetting the car to factory defaults. Painful, but it fixed it.

That sounds like there was some kind of problem with the readers in the car. In the 3 years I had my iX, I never had to fall back on NFC on the phone, and so long as the valet put the NFC card in the correct spot there was never a problem with that either. The only time I used the fob was when...

I love it. Just did a short 180 mi trip, and I've been using the built-in nav instead of CarPlay specifically because of the AR features. The amount of info is great, and I love that it indicates when it is going to slow down for a bend on the freeway. Off-topic, but the voice control is also...

So I just got my car last week and have been playing with the settings I want in the HUD and the instrument cluster. One that that would be really nice is the ability to say "I want navigation in this section if navigation is active, but if not I want this other thing (compass in my case)...

That's actually a REALLY good questions, because you have to pay for the car before you pick it up for European delivery, but technically the price Porsche has to pay to import to the US isn't finalized until it hits Customs. That might be a case where they have to eat the increase.

A lot of the early destination chargers were either heavily subsidized or "free", with the cost of the EVSE and install covered by Tesla, but they had a requirement that they be dedicated to Tesla vehicles. It could be that you were trying to charge at one of those.

I don't actually know Android well enough to say, as I'm an iOS user (and sometimes developer). But from a dev perspective, the fact that it is different APIs for the different wallets and UWB chips is a problem. Fragmentation makes it less worth doing.

When the BMW iX launched, initially phone as key was only available on the iPhone. The main reason is because there is a single API to target all the iOS users, but Android has different APIs for different manufacturers. Eventually support came to Android platforms, one manufacturer at a time...

I only had normal US split-phase 120/240V power with my ChargePoint Flex charger and my BMW iX. I routinely got 11kW.
