I'm basing my opinion of MB's electric offering on my close friends EQE, his daughters EQA, and my best friend's husband's EQA. They may not be any better than Porsche, but they can't be much worse - in my current opinion, and I'll have paid considerably less money to find out. A coupe isn't...

Having been on this forum for nearly a year now (my Turbo was one of the earlier deliveries in the UK as I put a deposit down the day after it was launched in the UK), I've seen enough posts from fellow UK users regarding the same issues to know that my car is not the exception, and as annoying...

As one of the few other women on this forum (from what I can tell anyway) please don't use being a lady as an excuse for not knowing a car feature. We're meant to be the sex that actually reads the instruction manual you know! ;o)

Response from ChatGPT - Turn it off and on again. That is how most of these stupid warning signs are resolved. I had a rear differential fault the other morning that magically resolved itself after that most technical of fixes lol

I bed to differ regarding a) the OP stating the price is the only thing wrong with the Macan as I can still state a whole list of tech faults/functions that have had to be disabled as they are dangerous with my soon to be one year old Turbo that are still a pain in the ass/don't work at all...

I'm completely with you on not trusting the car! I have given up on using most of the systems I used to love about my previous Audi e-tron as with Porsche they just don't behave as they were intended and are dangerously not fit for purpose.

I was having a similar issue with the port door not opening. I mentioned it last time the car was at the dealer and since then it’s been opening fine. I’m not sure what/if they did anything to it, but it’s definitely working as it should now.

I’ve not had exactly the same issue, but I was woken at 11pm one night by the alarm going off whilst the car was in my garage at home. The system said the frunk was open (it wasn’t) so then the rest of the car wouldn’t lock. Several attempts at locking/starting/trying to open the frunk...

I’m with you on your frustration with the multitude of issues - and this being your first and last Porsche. Last weeks new one for me was a random diff lock failure, that resolved itself after I turned the car off for 5 minutes. I’m going back to Audi when it’s time to replace the Macan, as I...

A dealer will never recommend a repair over a replacement. My car was in for a recall last week and they recommended I replaced both my rear types (and gave me a quote of £900!) because they were down to 3mm - when the legal limit is 1.6mm. It’s a high performance car, and yes, if I were taking...

My CarPlay randomly stopped working yesterday and gave me the black screen of death when it said it was apparently connected. Thanks for the tip on how to do a screen reset via the volume button as that’s got it sorted!

I've done 9,700 in my Turbo and both rears are down to 3mm, which is the measurement my dealer says I ought to replace them at. I'll be waiting for another mm off yet! 295/40 R 21 Michelin Pilot Sport EV

In answer to the OP - no it doesn't, unfortunately. I had that along with a load of other really useful and effective systems like route topography, on my last car - an Audi e-tron sportback, and it's all of those gadgets I really miss on the Macan. The Macan has an option to turn on route...

I’ll have to try the gentle method next time on the charger port - I’ve been giving a little push, which although effective is possibly a little rough by the looks of it.

I had this same issue after the last visit to the dealer, however that was for different issues. I’ve just given it a good clean and several pumps through as suggested and its working again. Thanks for sharing!

You’re lucky - for a lot of us it’s always been like that! The latest software update was meant to have resolved it, but it’s no better. Unfortunately it may have set a poor baseline for everyone, including those who perhaps weren’t experiencing any issues in the first place.

I’ve had no overheating issues with mine. I do always close the front when it’s in there and generally always have air con on, both of which help it to operate optimally. It’s still not particularly fast though, so I tend to just use a USBC cable I’ve got threaded through to the charger port...

Welcome to the world of Macan ownersip! I’ve had my Turbo since November and since A very similar issue to you of it pretty much doing an emergency stop due to reading incorrect road signs (in my case it was signposted 70 mph dropping to 50 mph, but the car read it as 5mph!) I’ve had to turn...

Ha! This presumes that any of those advertised features actually work. I‘ve had paid for options on my Turbo which have never worked properly since picking it up last November - both physical and software related, and it’s been into the garage 3 times so far for updates/recalls/issues which...

Thanks! I’ll leave that for the garage to do, before I end up causing more chaos trying to do it myself 😂
