I bet it must a Porsche issue. Cell networks are very proven tech nowadays. And usually time is synced from NTP servers which are not part of telco network. Interesting to see if Porsche is forced to do a OTA update :)

In Finland the price difference is 10k euros. Little more challenging to justify it for "just" 1.1s improvement in 0-100 time.

50% charge is the theoretical storage sweet spot for big batteries, minimal amount of stress for the chemistry. Even I think there is very little difference between 50% and let's say 80% in practise.

My experience is that as a new owner, you make sure the car is charged exactly to 50% and plugged in with that limit. Then, you worry daily about the charging status while away. When the car gets older, you simply make sure the charge is between 70-80% and leave it wherever, without bothering...

You should have used the Porsche roundabout video. More impressive IMHO :)

Socket is alive and well in the configurator. This can't be true?

I hope this too. I think Porsche should have learned to think software as a platform by now with this Android based OS. Meaning same code base should support all model years and also upcoming Cayenne cars. This would allow shipping constant updates and features a la Tesla. Maybe I'm too optimistic..

I think, in general, the expected relatively steep depreciation is all about the battery. What else could it be? Electric motors are known to be robust, and more or less all other parts are the same or missing compared to gas cars. The main concern is the uncertainty about the battery after 5+...

I just got an offer for Macan 4 and I think I'll accept it next week (expected delivery in January). Not too scared that I get the first model year car. My current car is an early Tesla Model 3. Most annoying things with it have been panel gaps, paint quality and missing features (e.g. heat...

I'd assume it's the SW part (UI perhaps) of the remote part assist that isn't ready. If there is any specific hardware needed, then that should come from Taycan, right? Maybe something prevents Porsche to sell a feature now and deliver it later via OTA update. Tesla has done it several times but...

Do the standard 8 way seats have any memory? I assume not which feels one big step back when you are used to Tesla driver profiles.

Cars that can be AC charged at 22kw are pretty rare. Internal charger becomes heavy and usually it's enough if you can do a full charge during night. It depends on your house main fuse size if you can install multiple charging stations. If you want to always charge at the maximum speed then...

This Android based OS in Macan is what Cariad calls VW OS 1.2, right? They are already developing VW OS 2.0 too which is more or less a full rewrite. Wondering if the 2.0 version will keep supporting Macan? I probably shouldn't care too much, 2.0 could take them several years to get out. But as...

There are three images in the configurator. Have you seen those?

I'm a Tesla owner considering Macan. I just want to test drive it first before deciding. Maybe a dumb question, why Porsche doesn't start the deliveries to show rooms and customers already now? What's the benefit to wait until September?
