The Macan EV has UWB. My guess (which is all we can do) is Porsche plans to implement Car Key using UWB, which allows for comfort access just like the key fob.

I had the same issue. First, what do you see when you go to Account, Charging Service? It should show your subscription info. If it doesn't, you may need to enroll (it should provide a link). The reason I say "may" is because once you've enrolled, it can take up to 24 hours for this section...

Apple Car Key uses the Wallet App. If it you Express Mode / Comfort Mode enabled, you can just leave your phone in your pocket and it will work just like a fob. Also, if the phone's battery runs low and the phone shuts off, it has enough power reserve to still unlock and start the car for...

Your sales agent can look it up in their system. That's how I found what boat mine was on, because it wasn't one of the ones listed in the how-to.

ah, that's not bad based on that little weight, it's small arms protection, not sniper rifles, correct? And in certain parts of the world I could definitely see a use for it.

I'm really interested to know how much weight that is adding to it, and what that does to the effective range.

It will definitely depress sales, but it will affect all the German cars, so maybe not as much as anticipated. The US luxury and performance cars just don't feel the same. To see what it would be like if they did a 100% tariff like they did from China, just look at the Lotus Eletra. Until...

Also not a lawyer, but unfortunately most sales in the US aren't allowed to be finalized until the car is in the possession of the dealership, and instead it is just based on a refundable deposit. If Porsche increases the price, the dealership would have to decide if they want to eat the...

Thanks for checking it. Disappointed, but not surprising. :(

I haven't got my car yet, so I can't test this, but I hope Porsche is using "soft latching" to at least remember the drive mode for up to 4 hours after the car is turned off, which is allowed by EPA guidance.

I don't have my Macan yet, but CarPlay in my iX and in my wife's CRV allow you to adjust the navigation volume by changing the volume while Siri is speaking. Easy to take the volume down then, but I could see a problem bringing the volume back up if you basically muted Siri (since you wouldn't...

That one is apparently now a legal requirement in the EU and UK as of (I think) last year, so you shouldn't complain about it on the Porsche, but rather complain about the regional law (that a new Tesla would need to obey as well)

I somewhat disagree with the statement, but not the sentiment. It unfortunately is now normal for cars to have bugs. The frequency has been increasing for almost two decades, but at this point I believe it is pretty normal. It shouldn't be like this. I remember in 2007 when Ford announced...

I don't believe anything changed at the federal level since (such as a law stating the required accuracy / tolerance), but the prior lawsuit that basically set the US standard for odometer accuracy is mentioned here. The Wayback machine links at the bottom take you to a scanned document about...

I've dealt with that type of chain before. Once you know how it's pretty easy to put on, slightly harder to take off though. The first time you go to put it on, make sure you do it someplace warm where you can put it and and take it off a few times, because connecting the 2 stiff pieces behind...

My guess is (because that's all we can do at this point) is the phantom drain is because one of the computers isn't properly taking action on the power off command that will get sent out on the CAN bus when the car should go to sleep. Ideally the component that sends that command should watch...

Mercedes might beat both

Agreed. The iX can put you to sleep on a long drive. Comfy, but dangerous. :)

It's weird though, because I didn't have that problem until the 07/2023 update was installed. Prior that that wireless carplay was flawless.

This is a big reason I'm switching away from my iX. I just like the feel of the compact SUV (I absolutely loved my Jaguar i-Pace, but sold it when Jag announced they were going to switch focus). That Macan handles better, and the 4s accelerates better than the iX 55. I'm hopeful it won't have...
