    Loaded 4S or lean Turbo?

    So, clearly the Turbo can be used for pulling stumps out of the ground. The question you need to ask yourself is, "How often am I really going to be pulling stumps out of the ground?"

    Any regrets / do-over wishes for your Macan EV specs? …”No Ragrets? Not even a single letter?” …

    I didn't spec powered charge port doors because there were quite a few problems with them when I locked in my configuration. I just didn't want to take a chance on what seemed like a pretty minor upgrade. Turns out, the non-powered charge port doors do not have any lighting (which the powered...

    Range with 10% SOC

    As I said in my post, "I don't think the behavior we should expect at a low SoC has been well documented/publicized by Porsche" and "The changes in behavior people are noting are pretty significant and should not be introduced to drivers by surprise." Please those statements as the full...

    Range with 10% SOC

    One thing worth noting here... According to one of Kyle's early Out of Spec Macan EV reviews, Porsche is reporting a higher percentage of the battery as usable than they have in the past. Porsche says that 95% of the Macan battery is usable while the Taycan—at the time of Kyle's review—stated a...

    Lock / Unlock through app (latest version 14.0.1) misleading response.

    It IS a lovely thing when you stamp out all the gremlins.

    Headlight Alignment

    Yes. It’s to lessen the impact of your headlights on oncoming traffic.

    Surprised by Tow Hitch Cutout

    My 4S (took delivery in late December) has this area painted black. I really think it was an oversight in early builds.

    Macan 4S vs Taycan ST 4S -- my impressions & review

    To be fair to Porsche here, the option to raise/lower the car on entry/exit is about much more than just that. Porsche Active Ride (the option we’re discussing) is a very sophisticated suspension management system that uses active control of a very fast-reacting air suspension to control vehicle...

    UPDATE: New My Porsche app version (14.0.1) now available. Adds pre-climate toggle to the iPhone control center

    I think you may be confusing the Control Center with widgets—the My Porsche app supports both. To add the control to your Control Center, follow these steps… Swipe down from the top right of your iPhone screen to reveal the Contol Center Click the “+” button (top left) Click the “Add a...

    Lock / Unlock through app (latest version 14.0.1) misleading response.

    There's something amiss with that version number you're seeing. I have the same number within the app (at the bottom of the "Account" tab): 14.25.3 build 382. However, if you go into the App Store, it indicates that the latest rev (which I have installed) is 14.0.1. Not sure what's up here.

    Carplay and Wifi conflict

    Too reiterate what PruydentOcean said and expand on it a bit... CarPlay depends on connecting to a WiFi that is created by the car itself. So, when you connect your car to your house's WiFi, you defeat that. When your car disconnects from the house WiFi (i.e., when you drive away), it restores...

    Macan EV recall in US - headlights may shine too bright (2,941 units affected)

    I guess I dodged a bullet when Porsche NA performed this update when my car was at the port of arrival.

    Middle display split screen selection?

    I’m a bit confused… are you saying you can only change two of the tiles? If so, I’d suggest you try again. I was able to change and rearrange all three. The interface can get a little wonky. I removed a couple of tiles by replacing them with others, but they remained greyed out in the picker...

    Middle display split screen selection?

    You can edit these tiles when stationary. Just press and hold until a small button with a pencil appears under your finger. Tap that button and you’ll be brought to the editing interface. Drag tiles from menu on the left, click “Apply,” and you’re good to go. Glad you asked the question. I was...

    Conclusions: Macan EV Navigation, Heads Up Display, and 3rd Party Nav

    My experience has been different… Through CarPlay, Apple Maps is well integrated with the HUD and the other two displays (note: I do NOT have the passenger display). The HUD gets next turn, distance, and lane suggestions. The right most “dial” of the instrument cluster also displays all of...

    Closing trunk by your foot

    If you removed all the factually challenged opinions from this forum, it would float away due to lack of mass! That said, I tried it and it worked. One kick-like motion, just to the right of center did the trick. I thus stand corrected and retract my baseless opinion. I hope you get it working.

    Closing trunk by your foot

    EDITED: Warning! Incoming baseless opinion alert… I think the foot trick only works to open the rear hatch. I’ve never seen a reference to that closing it. (see below for clarification)
