I have washed my Macan 4 EV with a pressure washer more than 10 times and never had a leak problem. Remember: do not have the comfort access systems enabled with the key near the car when washing it. Also, "resetting" the window heights (as previously stated in this thread) is usually a...

I've had the Macan 4 EV in 35 C in Florida within the past few weeks. The interior cabin seemed fine with the sunroof closed and the sun shade closed. I don't have additional window tint (beyond the factory specs) yet, because I'm trying to figure out how bad it will be (35 C with sun and no...

Just for clarification here, (1) *my* key fob was in my pocket and always in proximity of the vehicle (2) The car was unlocked. I tried kick to close (shut the door but it immediately reopened), the left button (shut the back door) and it had the same problem, and the right button (shut the...

We ran into a fun problem this week that I thought I would report. I dropped off my wife at an errand stop and she left her fob in the center cup holder. I got out of the car and opened the tailgate to remove something and then tried to close the tailgate. It would close and then re-open. This...

When I acquired my Macan 4 EV, I had a problem with a shift from my garage (very low humidit due to HVAC) to high humidity (outside air) causing the front camera to fog up for up to 30 minutes of driving! The solution was to wipe it down with water/vinegar to clean it and then a glass cleaner...

I'm stuck with which set of foibles I want to live with. Part of my interest in the Boxster is that I think it will be much higher volume than the Taycan and easier to get serviced ... because I'm not buying a garage queen ... I'm going to drive it within an inch of its useful life. On the...

Keep in mind that I do not believe anything I'm told by the SAs that I'm working with, but I'm sniffing around about buying another car and I was told they expected NACS to delay the 2026 Macan EV models. I truly do not believe they're maliciously lying to me (about these issues), it's just that...

I enjoyed the article because I've been thinking about buying a 2025 Taycan to replace my sports car. I intended to buy an electric Boxster this year but it won't be available. Now I think I'm likely to wait a bit -- love the Taycan charging and driving experience but I don't like the reported...

This may sound silly, but we likely need to know the SoC of the high voltage battery and (possibly) its max SoC when you run regeneration tests. If you believe the HUD/dash regeneration meter, my Macan 4 is rarely above 75% SoC with max set to 80% and it nearly always sees regeneration in coast...

When I read the comments about the difference between the brakes and regeneration in the Macan EV, I feel like I don't understand what other owners are talking about. In our Macan 4, my wife can never tell whether brakes or regeneration are stopping the car. I struggle to tell most of the time...

It looks like the new EA Costco Napa CA location with 10 stalls has opened. Status of the units popped up when I was doing trip planning this morning.

V3 and V4 generation Tesla Superchargers are compatible with charging Rivians, Fords, etc. There is very good reason to believe that our Macan EVs will be able to be charged at compatible (V3 and V4 generation) Tesla Superchargers this summer, but, as I frequently say to others when we discuss...

I know there are a lot of considerations. How much power can be delivered, permitting, etc. When I last used this location in January before it was shutdown, at least 2 of the charging stations were not functioning. Might they have a spare parts problem? Also, EA may want premiere locations to...

I have a home near the Florida Mall location and my feedback is that they should have doubled or tripled the number of Alpitronic units because that site is busy.

If anyone gets to track a 20% to 80% charging session at the Florida Mall's new 4 cable Alpitronic HYC400 chargers, I'm curious to hear about your charge times (and whether someone else was using the same unit while you were charging.

Can someone track the 12volt battery voltage over time when the car is plugged into a charger but not recharging (because it is at the set SoC)? If someone tells me the equipment to buy and how to safely do it, I'll do the leg work. Emphasis on safely.

I was under the impression that the Northvolt bankruptcy caused the delay in the Boxster EV. https://www.carscoops.com/2024/12/porsche-718-ev-might-be-delayed-by-northvolt-bankruptcy/

I've worked with Porsche software engineers and the ones I've met are excellent. A limitation for the company seems to be the part/subsystem supplier contracts and their management. I'm not surprised it will take a bit of effort to generate OTA updates, given those concerns. I have to say that...

My wife seeks to know if this is Billie Eilish's Macan EV or an ICE Macan. I'm sure the fate of the world rests on this determination.

Confirmed that Waze is working on the dash in the USA but not in HUD.
