as with all computer systems a good solid reboot/restart fixes a multitude of niddily issues - in my 2024 Macan Turbo EV I'm finding that if I reboot the PCM once/twice a month - things just go smoother - fewer faults and bugs from my impression…

as you all may (or may not) know I believe it honestly doesn't matter - but at some point Porsche will "add" a Native NACS port to the Macan EV (and other EV's)
the question for this poll is:
Do you think the MY'2026 Macan EV will come with at least one NACS port in North America? Your answer...
consider this…if your electrician has noted you either can not add a new circuit to your existing panel or need to upgrade your panel due to limited capacity…
this might be a solution...
ok I set this up and charged @ a local L2 ChargePoint station in my local area - here is what I learned…
Question: what is this?
Answer: June 2024 (yes almost a year ago) Porsche and Chargepoint announced Porsche Charging Service integration. The announcement was vague then, and now that we...
for anyone curious about tracking a car - and want to spend a pleasant day at world Renown Laguna Seca Raceway - here is a low cost, low effort, low risk way to track your Macan (or any other car) with out the risk or wear and tear!!
Come out and have some fun...
during the fast charging session documented in thread - https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/data-285-miles-on-a-single-charge-in-a-2024-macan-turbo-omg-im-happy.19810/#post-301749
at one point during the session about the 50% mark on the SOC - the front bumper fans must've been running...
Well Team - recently I had to drive from Aptos, CA to UC Davis and back to Aptos, CA - round trip according to navigation is ~284 miles - charging around the route is good - so I was never in any risk - but I thought I would see if I could do it in a single charge…so I charged the night before...
team,
back from a 20 day trip of a life time
left the Macan plugged in at 80% battery SOC - no special preparations - car was undriven for 20+ days…
got in it today - zero issues
this is just a data point for you - but the car "just worked" as expected today - zero faults…
YMMV
just checking in - delivered Nov. 15th, 2024 - promptly driven home 2700 miles from ATL to Santa Cruz, CA
issues so far:
discovered documented that North American Macan's are capped at 9.6 kW maximum L2 charge rate - not sure if this is a "Mistake" or by "design"
no response from Porsche to...

some confusion as to March vs. June - but I see this as progress - maybe BYOA in March? who knows...
not a big list:
North American 11 kW L2 charging software fix (if possible)
OTA updates in 2025
phone-as-key support
North American BYOA Supercharger Access
strong EV sales for Porsche to show them the path forward
reliable EA charging support
well wishes to all forum members!!
well the whole get in a drive and get out and leave experience is simply 100% sorted with the Macan…

I optioned the AR HUD on my 2024 Macan EV Turbo - I'm a sucker for tech so I've would've done it even if it "wasn't" new - I'm also experience with Porsche/Audi HUDs and they are pretty standard and acceptable, but lack any WOW factor - I have the 2021 Cayenne TurboS eHybrid w/HUD - and it's a...

Existing vehicles that have already been delivered and have in-car video functionality can be retrofitted free of charge via a software update.
Macan's already have this - but apparently Porsche...
close enough I believe to help us all understand why our charge rate gets slower as we get closer to full…

it's well known to most potential EV owners that cold weather range takes a big hit with an EV - this surprising some people is a core reason in my opinion that has caused EV's to fall out of favor recently - I'm hoping this is temporary and EV's will come back and we're in a normal adoption...
it's nice to see Porsche finally making progress in catching up techwise to other modern vehicles…
so far 2+ weeks in I'm liking the progress I've noted in the following areas:
the AR HUD is a major step in competitive tech and is no longer state of the art 2009 - good job Porsche this is a...
