We ran into a fun problem this week that I thought I would report. I dropped off my wife at an errand stop and she left her fob in the center cup holder. I got out of the car and opened the tailgate to remove something and then tried to close the tailgate. It would close and then re-open. This...
If anyone gets to track a 20% to 80% charging session at the Florida Mall's new 4 cable Alpitronic HYC400 chargers, I'm curious to hear about your charge times (and whether someone else was using the same unit while you were charging.
There were some questions about what really happens when you set a planned departure time for the Macan EV and you have it plugged in for charging. This post is my experience from yesterday and today.
Yesterday at about 7 pm I plugged the Macan EV into a Level 2 AC charger in the USA (9.6kW)...
I find that taking roundabouts (at higher and higher speed) with and without sport mode enabled (4WD) on a Macan 4 gives you a pretty good idea of the differences between the Macan RWD and the Macan 4 variants. Rear wheel steering also changes this experience.
During test drives of different...

Both my wife and I love the HUD. We were both skeptical before acquisition. She was resistant to using it on first drives. And we both won't give it up now...
My wife asked me some questions today that I'm not certain about. For these questions, assume the Macan EV has Innodrive and adaptive cruise control enabled.
When adaptive cruise control brings you to a complete stop at a stoplight or just behind traffic, does the brake light always display...
After I charged the car a few days ago at an Electrify America, I noticed that I could see the passenger display while driving. This has persisted for a few days.
I'm not complaining. I just thought it was interesting that the safety mode (passenger display is not visible to driver while...
Has anyone heard of methods to assess battery health on the Macan EV? I'm already thinking about how one can assess the state of a used car so that I can pick up another.
Hi Everyone,
I'm seeing an issue with the "Warn and Brake assist warning light". During normal driving, it can illuminate if someone walks in front of the car, as an example. The warning light is yellow when you see it on the dash. It's hard to see in the manual because of the yellow color of...
