    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

    [FAQ] What exactly does the AR HUD do? [Augmented Reality Heads-Up Display]

    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...

    [FAQ] - Why do EV's take such a big "hit" in cold weather…new owner overview

    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 the small things… Porsche making progress in catching up tech-wise

    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...

    [news!] - 225 kW supercharger rate achieved!! Macan EV is not limited to 150 kW @ North American Tesla Superchargers!!

    This is big news - up until now I believe we all assumed Macan would be limited to 150 kW @ North American superchargers!!! But the report above indicates a 225 kW charge rate… This means one of two things! Macan can support 250 kW charge rate @ 400V FastDC stations like superchargers!! the...

    [Poll] - Porsche charging specification lie? Macan is not allowing 11 kW max charge rate - capped at 40 amps? 9.6 kW max rate.

    given testing I've done and others it appears Porsche is shorting us on the 11 kW onboard charger claimed in Standard equipment and the owner's manual. My 2024 Macan Turbo does NOT in fact support 11 kW charging - I can not get it to exceed 40 amps (9.6 kW)… this poll is to establish if...
