    Proper tire inflation

    Mine show 44 +3 psi each with exception of front left at 42 +3 psi. Apparently this indicates the amount over the recommended pressure. I would only worry if the pressures were considerably more out of tolerance and/or you were stressing the car such as heavy towing or using it on the track...

    Key fob in front of car / tailgate won't close

    I’ve had a problem even when the second fob is not in the car. It is a known problem and my car has been at the dealer since Friday regarding this and once before. i get the feeling this may be a recall issue for some cars, but supposedly there is a fix and it’s applied to my car. Will update...

    New Macan 4S; unable to open Power Charge Port Cover

    Yes. I always rest my hand on the taillight closest half until the door starts to open. I’ve had no issues unless the car was locked You can also open both doors from the Goodbye screen. i use the passenger side door to charge at home and the driver side for DC chargers to spread the wear and...

    Most recent My Porsche App update issues

    You have definitely taken every reasonable step. The only thing I can think of is trying with another device such as an iPad if you have one. Maybe also check available storage on your iPhone. Admittedly a long shot, but running out of any resource is bad news. Otherwise, I would definitely get...

    Most recent My Porsche App update issues

    My experience is the similarly positive. The watch app is finally useful for me. @alxman: have you trieda restart on your phone? I almost never restart, but in your case, it seems reasonable to try

    Another Gift from Porsche

    Makes no sense because you have a Turbo like the rest of the recipients here. Looking at the linked configuration, your Macan seems to miss no features of significance and even has a few I missed. I’d bring it up with your SA. Is any owner of a Macan who doesn’t have a Turbo a recipient? Is...

    Hoping for feature addition

    I’m definitely glad I optioned the HUD, as stated more than once in the forum. It is one of the most constantly useful and noticeable feature while driving. The HUD already reprioritizes some areas, such as when surround view is active. Then it shows obstacles around the car in place of my...

    @Redtiger: Is any advantage taken of a pre-wire or does this dash cam require its own wiring?

    Article: Macan EV is an out-of-the-gate sales success

    Thanks! My Macan routinely improves my day as well. But the very same guy that was slamming EVs on the campaign trail just bought two Teslas. But wait, maybe the motivation was a bit different ?

    Article: Macan EV is an out-of-the-gate sales success

    Either you are being sarcastic or your account has been hacked. I’m not really a good of sarcasm. All your other posts have been considerably more positive and helpful.

    Article: Macan EV is an out-of-the-gate sales success

    Comparing to the Taycan is an interesting choice. The Taycan was Porsche’s only EV until the Macan. Taycan appeals to a slightly different audience. The market for the Taycan is also considerably more saturated than for the Macan and sticker is typically higher for a similar feature set. This...

    Porsche Electric Sport Sound Get it or not?

    I did not spec it but did try it on the loaner Macan I was given. If you might miss the accelerator feedback that an ICE gives you, get it. I preferred to use the money for other options and I’m still happy with the decision. The car makes a sound regardless that is kind of like a growl.

    Are these TYD progress accurate?

    I was able to determine what ship my car was loaded on and track it that way. There are a number of ways to do this based which RORO ship left the port of Emden on the date your car left that port. Since TYD was not available for the Macan last year, I used the MarineTraffic app and determined...

    Macan 4 Electric - Very Disappointed

    @bayfarmbz: Luckily, haven’t had these issues so far, but the dealer did make several changes to my car when I went in for a different issue (a sticky hatch). One was to reset the TPMS and another to update the software. I was told this was to make the vehicle’s systems work better together...

    Seeking Advice on My Porsche Macan 2025 Configuration

    I was vaguely aware of Launch Control being available in Sport Mode, but haven’t tried it Thanks for clarifying about PASM. Air Suspension related features are standard on US cars so it required no thought on my part.

    Seeking Advice on My Porsche Macan 2025 Configuration

    Air Suspension is fantastic. I don’t think you can lower and raise the car to balance for off-roading or maximum aerodynamic efficiency without it. Also I barely notice such things as road plates and potholes. @marcodf81: are you getting sports chrono for sports plus, do you like the chrono, or...

    Charging from solar

    There are a few potential factors in play here. I have a Solar Edge inverter and it will power everything in my house including the charger given the right mix of available solar power, battery power and settings. It also has a setting that will charge a car only with whatever is leftover after...

    Battery heating before driving ?

    I think there is some confusion between preheating the cabin and preconditioning the battery temperature here.. They appear to be different goals. I always display the battery temperature in the instrument cluster (right tube) which is not there by default. So seeing the difference is a bit...

    What sound do your doors make when closing? Solid thunk or rattles?

    Thunk for all of my doors and frunk. Opening the hatch, but not closing it is problematic for me. It seems there’s a recall on the motorized part of the hatch mechanism. The part is on back order with an ETA of about 2 weeks. There’s a workaround when it sticks in the interim..
