    Charging Port Error Message

    Yes. This is related to having power charge port doors as far as I know. I saw the message when I stopped at an Electrify America recently and did not get the connector plugged in before the timeout period. The door started to close and encountered the connector before it was plugged in...

    Macan EV outsold ICE model by almost double in Q4 2024

    It will be interesting to see what happens particularly in the next 4 years in the US. There are elements within the now dominant party that are EV hostile and a lot of disinformation being spread. Whether Elon Musk's influence is enough to ultimately benefit EV infrastructure improvement is a...

    Saw one in the wild for the first time today…

    Looks very familiar, but not exactly mine :)

    Poll: How many actual Macan Electric’s have you seen in the wild?

    SUVs and CUVs are fairly rare in Germany. There are a lot of areas that are a tight fit for cars. I traveled mostly in the Nurnberg and Stuttgard areas and about 10 years ago, but doubt this has changed much. I see mostly Cayennes in my area and a few ICE Macans. I’ve seen maybe 1 other Macan...

    Extreme Electric Baptism: 1052km in 2 Days with the Macan EV Turbo

    Great review and glad you’re enjoying your Macan even with the glitches. No HUD issues for me after 3700 km (2300 mi). Only glitches for me were charging related 1) to recognize my vehicle at a plug and charge station 2) one at home related to “precool / heat”. Successes for both situations since.

    PORSCHE IN CRISIS | EV "expert" Says CHINESE EVs are CLEARY BETTER than Porsche at half the price!

    There are a lot of reasons not to buy an off brand vehicle unless you plan to change cars every few years anyway. I believe Porsche will back their product. I also would worry about security of these vehicles. We are already giving away far too much personal information through our cars, but...

    Powered Charge Port Door - Be Careful

    Thanks for the heads up. I think I ran into the same situation with the flap not closing, but the door refused to close appropriately. On this same outing, the car refused to charge using plug & charge. I checked my account and it is still active so I’m tentatively blaming the charger. Will...

    Study: Less than 1% of EV owners would go back to full gas-powered vehicles... would you?

    We have two EVs including the Macan 4. The 2 year old Solterra was out of commission with a bad 12V battery for a week, luckily under warranty. However, the feel of an EV, convenience, elimination of oil changes, charging in our garage and from the sun (most months). Successful long road trip...

    Anyone else have poor fitting charge covers?

    Same. I called out the fit on my driver side and dealer adjusted

    Adaptive Cruise Control Fault

    I think you get standard adaptive until you press the button on the underside of the driver assist stalk. That activates a I’ve lane keeping. My Innodrive features are all working with this setting on. Used them most recently this evening.

    Several errors at startup clear after 5 minute shutdown, anyone else?

    I have not seen that error either after 1500 miles, but have seen another charging error. It happened after I took the car out and plugged it in on return. I got an error that showed up as “Charging not possible precool heat” in the PCM. The error also showed up as red lights on the charger. I...

    Plug & Charge at Electrify America

    Plug & charge is a standard so technically there is no reason it shouldn’t, but some setup would be required with the vendor. EVGO has auto charge plus, that supports plug & charge. Here is a link to the Out of Spec video Unfortunately, there are no Porsche vehicles on the compatibility list...

    Porsche Navigation versus CarPlay Navigation: Is there a clear winner?

    In the center display, there is an icon that toggles it. I will update if I find a way in the instrument cluster

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    Definitely take up all issues with the dealer and insist on resolution. My only issue so far has been that the charge port door did not align right when closed. My dealership fixed that. I am not dealing with any unusual smells, but would insist on addressing it if I did. Good feedback from...

    Software updates delaying delivery.

    It appeared that many of the earliest cars had problems and mine was in production for 15 days. There were definitely problems early on. Seems like I got lucky with timing of production and delivery. I’m delighted with every chance to drive it.

    A lovely drive followed by a celebration of 50 years of forced-induction…

    Many thanks for sharing your tremendous experience and detailed review. Looking forward to driving a Taycan after driving my Macan for a month now, though I’m sure the Macan was the best choice for me. Like you, I have many positive things to say about the HUD. Useful for much more than just...

    Porsche Connect App

    Have this same problem with our Solterra and its Connect App. To get more timely information I have to refresh multiple times. The Apple Watch app is the same way where it will say it was refreshed “Just Now”, but that was from the last use. After updating once it tells you how long ago the...
