Fast charging will cause heating of the battery. 55 Celsius is a number that can be seen when heating for many EVs. This is 131F when converted, which looks much scarier. The problem with a broken AC system is that, if the car can not stop the temperature rising any further, damage could...

I'd be very cautious with this, as the AC system is also used to cool the main battery if it gets too hot. Someone else on here had a similar AC problem and the dealer wouldn't let them take the car because of the possible battery damage if it gets too hot and can't get cooled.

This might be technically accurate, but is not useful. From the image in the manual, you can see where the battery is accessible from the frunk - the + connection is directly on the battery. It looks like you need to remove the whole frunk lining to get full access to the battery.

Where is the Reverse light? My BMW Z8 had one of each for symmetry, and they looked identical until lit, and then someone would tell you you have a light out

I have the updated app. I have a VIN. I do NOT have a Proof Of Ownership, since it just went into production. How do I add this car to the My Porsche app without the ownership proof?

We optioned both of those on ours. We did also go with black accents, but kept the default wing mirrors and door handles. In the US, the 'electric' logo on the side is not optional, but we did get ours in black too. Very nice

Ah, crap. They made such a big deal at one point about the Macan simply being Macan 4 and Macan Turbo. He did get other stuff wrong too. I need to cancel my order now the've changed the name!

He lost me very quickly by simply getting the name of the car wrong. The word 'electric' is simply not part of the name. And it wasn't a simple slip-up, as he kept using his made-up name. And then he got several other details wrong, and I turned it off before he got inside. Am I the only one...

To add to the confusion, Tesla has been installing v4 stations, with the Magic Dock CCS hardware that are NOT open to all users - but are open to Rivian, GM etc. Maybe they will open these to all at some point once they know the usage patterns of these new sites.

For the general case, the Macan won't be able to 'power your house'. However, if you option the power outlet in the trunk, you'll have the ability to plug things in up to 150w, which might be enough to run your network hardware. My Eero Max 7 uses almost 22w, my cable modem may use about the...

This video has a LOT of info! The sunroof controls start at 1:07:30, starting with the shade operation.

We did see those off-road wheels on a car at the dealer last week and almost changed our order to those! I'm a bit sad that the 4S launch had no 4S cars on the Macan S 20" wheel. Seems like a bit of a miss, and that's the default wheel that we are getting on our order.

The GT Weissach replaces the rear seats with an extra 100kwh battery. Range is still 240 miles, but you get there so much faster!

If you've done business with Porsche Bellevue, you may already have received an invite to their Macan Launch event on Sunday, October 20 from 6-9pm. Nibbly things, cocktails, shiny cars, and an unveiling at 7pm. Probably some speeches too. Presumably you can give them a call to get an invite...

The Audi Q6 E-tron charging curve I've seen - with the same PPE platform - holds peak charging rates of over 270kw until a little over 30% charge. After that it drops to just over 200kw for a bit. So if you're not charging with state-of-charge below about 30% or so, then you won't get the peak...

You can't measure consumption this way with accuracy. It's possible that the % indicator has a software adjustment that shows more or less usage at a certain range. But, more likely, it's actually quite hard to know how much battery is actually left! LFP chemistry batteries are worse at this...

The January reveal videos all show this - this image is clear enough to see the + of a First Aid kit on that second red package. It's either that or a life raft. Perhaps only the German market has these? The US models seem to come with neither.

I’ve seen videos in Europe where the frunk had 2 red items in there. The warning triangle is one of them, but what’s the other one, and where do I get one in the US? My guess is a first aid kit, but it needs to be the correct shape for that space

Today, we couldn't order any illuminated sills. That was the only thing on our order we needed to change due to supply constraints.

Indeed, this was a surprise to us all! 'Stopped' in their system is that the parts are not available. The configurator doesn't show the real time availability of these items, so it's not until you actually go to the Porsche internal ordering system do you get the notification.
