@Great_Cookie: Thanks for the thorough review! Very helpful. I have the prewire, but have held off hoping Porsche will go 4K. The usual test is whether you can get a number off the license plate at a sufficient distance and behavior in low lighting conditions. I can’t read any plates in your...

You're right. #*@^ Google AI. I finally figured out that you can change it by clicking on the garage icon and then "More Details". Click the pencil icon to the right of the name and enter up to 24 characters. For some weird reason, it blanked a few times while I was changing the name, but it's...

Aquila Alba Thanks for the challenge @SylverFoxx! Looks like you can’t change the name once it’s active in Porsche Connect Services unless you get help. (See correction below) I’ve picked “Aquila Alba” because it has special significance. It is better than “White Eagle” which is the non...

Unless your electricity is generated with coal or natural gas, there is less pollution generated by running your EV even greenhouse gases aside. Charging at night in our area uses cleaner sources so we can choose. Like the OP I charge mostly with solar other than in Nov-Feb and this community is...

Agree with the majority of posters. I have both and wouldn’t be without either. It took me a while to decide on RWS, but would give a slight edge to the utility of RWS for tight parking situations. However the HUD gives you a lot more situational awareness than you have otherwise. I value it...

Can you confirm that the charging app in the car itself is working properly? It is strange that everything else updates. Are you also sure that the car and app are using the exact same Porsche ID? also, is the car maybe in a cellular dead spot? In the car you need wi-fi to get wireless CarPlay...

I skipped to the end and was disappointed that the same reviewer that had given the Macan a glowing prior review and said the Macan was “better in every way” was attempting to shame her colleague for favoring the Macan. I know what settling is like as @daveo4EV says, but call it what it is. As...

Do you have a departure time set or did you toggle “Direct Charging” to on? If Direct charging is on or there is no departure time, your car will charge immediately. In the screenshot it is set correctly to delay charge before 5AM. Also, you should see a pulsating blue light and “charging paused”

Yes. its definitely tighter, but worked

Not sure, but I’ve had two car seats and adult between them in mine. The booster seat is a fairly recent modification. in the picture, the drivers seat is in the retracted position for entry/exit.

Hopefully it is this: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46188510/apple-carplay-next-gen-interface/ but we may have to wait for the next major software release or maybe never https://www.techradar.com/vehicle-tech/car-infotainment/apple-promised-us-carplay-2-0-in-2024-but-it-hasnt-arrived-yet

I just had my Macan 4 in the shop for two days this week and the loaner was an ICE Macan. The dealer addressed the headlights recall issue, did a couple of of other updates and dealt with a sticky latch problem I've had with the hatch. Experience with the ICE Macan really made me appreciate my...

Ironic that Kyle’s multiple positive reviews convinced me to buy the Macan in the first place. Not sure why Dave is as negative as he is, but on only a few points I have to give Tesla the edge: namely infrastructure and more frequent software updates. Teslas primary negatives are the lack of...

I made my final decision based on avoiding having the door in the cable path. Since the power door disappears, this is not an issue for me. On the other hand, a dead 12V could be. Perhaps another reason to leave the car plugged in when in doubt. Our Solterra has a manual charge port door so...

Thanks for this info! Do you have a software version number for the community to check against? When was your Macan delivered?

For the most part, @PrudentOcean is correct and so is @masmole. More significantly however, BYD was preparing to sell cars in the US and has a web site for this purpose: https://www.byd.com/us/contact-us I’m sure Tesla saw BYD as a more substantial threat and has probably successfully...

Supposedly Porsche makes their own battery packs. The Taycan uses LG parts, but the Macan uses CATL parts. It may be possible to get around the tariff by importing the parts from Germany as many products contain parts from China. Worst case is anyone in the US will pay more for such parts...

Agree with other posts that driving experience and interior details are highest priority. I see you included the HUD. Almost every review of the HUD is favorable, mine included. I’m delighted most by the HUD and how it automatically shows the information I need most when I need it. I did not...

I’m unaware of such a setting after reading the manual and poring over available settings. I would like to see such a feature too and recommend you send an email to PCNA regarding it.

Yes. The power charge port door is fun and (so far) works well. I totally respect the arguments against it though. I blame my friend with a Tesla who said his was standard ?
