Funnily enough we tried yet again to use it today to park in a multi-story car park as my husband wanted me to demonstrate it, even though I protested because every single time I've tried it it just ignores all of the spots. Again today it slowly sailed past at least 8 spots, before I turned it...

Amusingly, and to my benefit, I looked at the Mach E when I was searching for my previous electric car to the Macan. My husband (and chief purchase decision maker, as we put both of our cars through his business) thought the same as your wife so I ended up with £20k larger budget and an Audi...

I feel your pain (and relief that you/I got tyre & alloy insurance!). 2 months into having mine I managed to get a sizeable piece of metal stuck in also the rear drivers tyre. In the UK, Porsche Assist is run by The AA, who are fairly reliable at picking up (they got to me in two hours...

It can be temperamental at the best of times. Mine reads out my messages 99% of the time, but 50% of those have the music playing in the back ground at the existing volume, rather than the other 50% for which the ambient music quietens. Quite annoying as I then can't hear the message properly...

Do you have front and rear cameras fitted? It sounds like mine and my husbands have done (on other cars - we have yet to get it fitted to my Macan).

"Mash pedal without warning, upset passengers" LOL!

Welcome to the world of Macan EV ownership! You'll soon get used to receiving a frequent, random selection of error messages which look serious but go away with a restart.

This is the exact reason for my original post - as I plan to forward a link to this discussion to the Service team at my dealer the day before I take the car in.

I am in full agreement that any tech that is sold on a car, regardless of price or any other factor, should be fit for purpose and fully functional. The Audi comparison is the exact reason I have had such frustrations with my Macan! Particularly as Audi and Porsche belong to the same VW Group...

I’m not sure what the driving law is in your State, but in the UK ‘undertaking’ (driving in a slower lane than the one of the vehicle you’re trying to pass, rather than changing into a lane that is faster and going around the vehicle you’re trying to pass) is illegal, hence the car tries to...

Blimey - it does sound like you’ve got a lot of niggles! I’ve not had it as bad as that list - just a sometimes temperamental charging cover; at one point the front windows would randomly drop half way then keep bouncing open when I tried to close them (others on here have reported the same but...

I wonder if point 2 of your observations is due to the road topography being turned on?

? It’s not so much expecting my car to drive itself - it’s expecting the paid for extras that assist my often long distance driving to work both effectively and safely. Unfortunately it does neither of those things. If you yourself had paid for an extra I would assume that a) you paid for it...

My previous car was the 2020 e-tron Sportback launch edition, and I really miss the assistance systems on it (particularly the wing cams and the 16 surround cameras which were never an option with Porsche anyway). Never had any major or regular issues and it was that car's systems (mainly the...

The great thing about living in the north Midlands is the M6 Toll Road - no speed cameras or police patrols, very few cars around at night, and the toll booths have that lovely barrier that goes up and just tempts you to do launch control…. ?

it was definitely automatic not manual, unless the driver was pressing it up and down at every junction lol I think it’s just due to me not realising it was two stages ?

I’ll have to not have my music quite so loud and stop singing along ?

Ah - that may well be the case then! I thought it was either up, or down, but a mid point would make sense that I can’t see it.

I was following the first electric Macan I’ve seen on the road earlier today (I presume a base mode 4 as it was a late 24 number plate) I noticed that the spoiler auto extension came on at around 40mph ish, where as mine only pops up at 95 mph* (on a Turbo). It made me wonder whether the...

Interestingly, I have road topography turned on for cruise control from and yet it’s never actually slowed me down for anything. My previous car was a Launch Edition e-tron Sportback and that had topography controls even when you didn’t have cruise control on, which I absolutely loved. It would...
