I drove Tesla EVs for the past 12 years. It took me a few weeks to adjust to the lack of auto-hold and one-pedal driving in the Macan EV but it’s not much of an issue now. That being said, I would like it if Porsche offered the option to switch on auto-hold, one-pedal regen and self driving...

It would be nice to have this as an option. In the meantime, I often use the Hold function by firmly pressing the brake pedal for 1-2 seconds while stopped which allows the driver to release the brake without creeping forward at stop lights.

I didn’t have any CarPlay issues in my 4S with iOS 18.4. Hopefully 18.4.1 doesn’t create new issues! ?

I have not tested for window leaks but am disappointed that the rear hatch drips water along the right and left inside edges of the rear trunk when lifted after a rainstorm. I expected it to channel the water along the outside edges of the tailgate like most other cars.

I’m on iOS 18.4 and am receiving the exact same error message in the app since the My Porsche app was updated to 15.0.0 last week.

Thanks for the info. I’ll probably stop at that Walmart near Greensboro next time so I don’t risk running out of range trying to get to Concord!

Thanks for sharing your trip experience! Last month I drove from Charlotte to Raleigh on I-85 in my 4S after previously taking this trip multiple times in a Tesla Y. Admittedly, I was quite nervous about not being able to use the Tesla supercharger network along the route. i used the Electrify...

Thanks for posting this info! I also plan to buy a Blackvue dashcam in a few months after they release their next version which was mentioned at CES this year. I have a few questions for you: 1) Does parking mode and remote viewing work well? 2) Why did you decide to go with the Cellini Neo8+...

During the past week it has become increasingly difficult to open my driver’s side door from the inside after returning home. It used to take me 1-2 pulls on the handle. Now it’s taking 3-4 pulls and at one point I thought I was stuck after 8 tries. Anyone experiencing the same issue and found...

Thanks for all the responses. Since no one reported any issues, I upgraded to iOS 18.4 tonight and CarPlay worked smoothly for me as well but no notable differences.

Anyone experiencing CarPlay issues or is it running smoothly for you after updating to iOS 18.4 which was released today? I delayed updating after my phone after reading this post on MacRumors but not sure if the update is impacting the Macan EV...

Congrats!! I’m still very happy with my Volcano Grey 4S which I’ve owned for about three months.

These articles aren’t encouraging for those of us hoping for a new version of Apple CarPlay to be released on 2025 or 2026 Macan EVs: https://www.theverge.com/news/635940/porsche-2026-911-taycan-infotainment-pcm-alexa-carplay...

You can use either the native Sirius app within PCM (which comes with a 3-month free trial subscription) or through your phone via CarPlay.

Yeah, that’s the main reason I didn’t include it in my build. I rarely use Sport mode and wasn’t likely to manually turn on the sound every time I drove.

Agreed. I do think Porsche should give drivers the option, however another positive feature of no longer having strong regen is that my passengers don’t get motion sickness in the Macan EV. My family dreaded riding in my Tesla since they always got car sick with rapid deceleration and...

I did miss one-pedal driving initially but have gotten over it after two months of driving the 4S. One cool feature that makes it a bit more like Tesla braking is that you can firmly hold down the brake pedal when you’re stopped at a red light and the Macan will go into Hold mode. This allows...

Congrats — looks great!

@pearson1995, leaving rear wiper and insulated glass range debates aside, have you decided how you will modify your build?
