Frozen Blue on a sunny spring day on the Oregon coast is not a bad thing. Free charging at the Tillamook cheese factory doesn’t suck either

First time at a Alpatronic HYC 400 today. Mercedes branded, in partnership with Starbucks. Although they built the Starbucks a 10 minute walk away! Close to Costco for a quick hot dog though - and the only In-n-Out Burger in Washington State is right there too! Anyway, peaked at 244 from 20%...

I’ve had most success by putting my phone in with the top towards the left. This seems to line up with the charging system better. My 15 Pro is shorter than more recent Pros and the Pro Max versions I’m sad that the only way to see it’s charging is on the Car Play screen, where the battery...

Is this the same problem as from this New Zealand thread? https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/9z3-230v-socket-in-luggage-removed-by-dealer-without-telling-me.22519/

Battery temp was reported as 21c, which is a little below the optimum starting temp for charging, but not enough to drop speed to only 40kw. That first photo clearly shows a max charge speed higher than 40 at a much lower temperature than 21c This low speed is a common problem reported by...

There are several threads here on this problem. Here's one - https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/very-slow-dc-charging.22212/

Here's a short technical video that covers why storing at high temp and SOC are 'bad', and why charging to 100% all the time is not recommended for the ultimate longevity of the battery. He links to another of his about how Lithium batteries work in general too! Since ours are NMC 811, the...

If Porsche had discovered a way for their HV batteries to allow the full 100% charge at all times without risking physical harm, there would have been a major breakthrough in battery physics and chemistry, and that's a very big deal. There would have been at least a press release! Porsche did...

There are several threads here on this problem. Here's one - https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/very-slow-dc-charging.22212/ A battery recalibration might help (which is a pain to do when away from home). The dealer can do a full BMS module reset to clear the data, and run a charge...

I've driven both a Cayenne and base Macan with the sport seats. The comfort seats do feel quite wide and unsupportive when you switch back! I opted for the comfort seats to get the massage option, but I didn't realize that only moves the back of the seat, and the bottom cushion has no massage...

Technically, correct. However, the ~10kw max from AC doesn't get limited by the charging curve of the Macan until about 97% (it's hard to read on the charge curve charts). Until that point, the car can handle as much as you can send at ~10kw. So in practice, there is no slowdown or extra...

I agree. The best case for this video is that the battery pack is physically sound, and completely usable with the replacement of the pyro fuse and a software reset. The next best case is that, perhaps a module or 2 are damaged and need to be replaced - something we've seen with Taycans. The...

This first image is the AI generated one that, when you really look at it, you notice the only thing it gets right is the chart background color. Please use the one on the German language image that actually shows what Porsche has documented, and can actually be seen in daily driving. The AI...

There are already threads here from others with the same symptoms. This one's the shortest, with some actionable steps you can take to try to 'fix' it without a dealer (although reporting to the dealer should be done to get Porsche visibility on this, and their cell reset process is better if...

Google Maps app on Apple just got an update. I’ve not tried it yet, and it doesn’t mention specific fixes, but it might fix this

This is simply that the car doesn't monitor things constantly, since the 12v would drain quickly. It's annoying when trying to track these things down, but not a symptom of a problem. My car has not been above 20C or below 10C in the last month, losing 30% during this time, and most of that...

I have a different monthly usage report that is much better suited here. I completed my BMS calibration on March 3 at 100%. Since then, I've driven just 84 miles at 2.8 miles/kwh across 16 trips. This morning, my battery SOC was 32% when I turned the car on. With 84 miles at 2.8 kwh giving...

Mine did not start with a software update, but otherwise I agree. I suspect that low usage - periods of no driving, and/or, lots of short trips - cause something to get confused in tracking SOC which then triggers the BMS to work too much. When I was driving longer trips last year, I did not...

WSJ0 updates the PCM to the version I posted in my photo
