I love it. Just did a short 180 mi trip, and I've been using the built-in nav instead of CarPlay specifically because of the AR features. The amount of info is great, and I love that it indicates when it is going to slow down for a bend on the freeway. Off-topic, but the voice control is also...

So I just got my car last week and have been playing with the settings I want in the HUD and the instrument cluster. One that that would be really nice is the ability to say "I want navigation in this section if navigation is active, but if not I want this other thing (compass in my case)...

That's actually a REALLY good questions, because you have to pay for the car before you pick it up for European delivery, but technically the price Porsche has to pay to import to the US isn't finalized until it hits Customs. That might be a case where they have to eat the increase.

A lot of the early destination chargers were either heavily subsidized or "free", with the cost of the EVSE and install covered by Tesla, but they had a requirement that they be dedicated to Tesla vehicles. It could be that you were trying to charge at one of those.

I don't actually know Android well enough to say, as I'm an iOS user (and sometimes developer). But from a dev perspective, the fact that it is different APIs for the different wallets and UWB chips is a problem. Fragmentation makes it less worth doing.

When the BMW iX launched, initially phone as key was only available on the iPhone. The main reason is because there is a single API to target all the iOS users, but Android has different APIs for different manufacturers. Eventually support came to Android platforms, one manufacturer at a time...

I only had normal US split-phase 120/240V power with my ChargePoint Flex charger and my BMW iX. I routinely got 11kW.

The Macan EV has UWB. My guess (which is all we can do) is Porsche plans to implement Car Key using UWB, which allows for comfort access just like the key fob.

I had the same issue. First, what do you see when you go to Account, Charging Service? It should show your subscription info. If it doesn't, you may need to enroll (it should provide a link). The reason I say "may" is because once you've enrolled, it can take up to 24 hours for this section...

Apple Car Key uses the Wallet App. If it you Express Mode / Comfort Mode enabled, you can just leave your phone in your pocket and it will work just like a fob. Also, if the phone's battery runs low and the phone shuts off, it has enough power reserve to still unlock and start the car for...

Your sales agent can look it up in their system. That's how I found what boat mine was on, because it wasn't one of the ones listed in the how-to.

ah, that's not bad based on that little weight, it's small arms protection, not sniper rifles, correct? And in certain parts of the world I could definitely see a use for it.

I'm really interested to know how much weight that is adding to it, and what that does to the effective range.

It will definitely depress sales, but it will affect all the German cars, so maybe not as much as anticipated. The US luxury and performance cars just don't feel the same. To see what it would be like if they did a 100% tariff like they did from China, just look at the Lotus Eletra. Until...

Also not a lawyer, but unfortunately most sales in the US aren't allowed to be finalized until the car is in the possession of the dealership, and instead it is just based on a refundable deposit. If Porsche increases the price, the dealership would have to decide if they want to eat the...

Thanks for checking it. Disappointed, but not surprising. :(

I haven't got my car yet, so I can't test this, but I hope Porsche is using "soft latching" to at least remember the drive mode for up to 4 hours after the car is turned off, which is allowed by EPA guidance.

I don't have my Macan yet, but CarPlay in my iX and in my wife's CRV allow you to adjust the navigation volume by changing the volume while Siri is speaking. Easy to take the volume down then, but I could see a problem bringing the volume back up if you basically muted Siri (since you wouldn't...

That one is apparently now a legal requirement in the EU and UK as of (I think) last year, so you shouldn't complain about it on the Porsche, but rather complain about the regional law (that a new Tesla would need to obey as well)

I somewhat disagree with the statement, but not the sentiment. It unfortunately is now normal for cars to have bugs. The frequency has been increasing for almost two decades, but at this point I believe it is pretty normal. It shouldn't be like this. I remember in 2007 when Ford announced...
