    Plug & Charge at Electrify America

    Plug & charge is a standard so technically there is no reason it shouldn’t, but some setup would be required with the vendor. EVGO has auto charge plus, that supports plug & charge. Here is a link to the Out of Spec video Unfortunately, there are no Porsche vehicles on the compatibility list...

    Porsche Navigation versus CarPlay Navigation: Is there a clear winner?

    In the center display, there is an icon that toggles it. I will update if I find a way in the instrument cluster

    Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

    Definitely take up all issues with the dealer and insist on resolution. My only issue so far has been that the charge port door did not align right when closed. My dealership fixed that. I am not dealing with any unusual smells, but would insist on addressing it if I did. Good feedback from...

    Software updates delaying delivery.

    It appeared that many of the earliest cars had problems and mine was in production for 15 days. There were definitely problems early on. Seems like I got lucky with timing of production and delivery. I’m delighted with every chance to drive it.

    A lovely drive followed by a celebration of 50 years of forced-induction…

    Many thanks for sharing your tremendous experience and detailed review. Looking forward to driving a Taycan after driving my Macan for a month now, though I’m sure the Macan was the best choice for me. Like you, I have many positive things to say about the HUD. Useful for much more than just...

    Porsche Connect App

    Have this same problem with our Solterra and its Connect App. To get more timely information I have to refresh multiple times. The Apple Watch app is the same way where it will say it was refreshed “Just Now”, but that was from the last use. After updating once it tells you how long ago the...

    2024 Macan 4 EV beats EPA range by 44 miles in real-world range test; 352 miles on single charge! - Edmunds Test Review

    My experience with start/stop systems was instrumental in leaving ICE tech permanently. Yes, there are workarounds and some hybrids and PHEVs make it less obnoxious, but pure BEVs have the edge on elegance here.

    For those of you with Rear Wheel steering... happy with it?

    Both my previous car and our other EV have a comparable turning circle to the Macan with the RWS option specified. So what you’re used to matters hugely in this decision. It certainly has made a difference when parking so I have no regrets with my decision to include it.

    Macan EV Review by Out of Spec Review - Hoggback Driver Assist Challenge

    My SA said Feature On Demand is not supported on Macan so I bought Innodrive. I hope that changes as not everyone is going to want to buy all features up front. I would have definitely configured my car differently with the option to spread costs out. Kyle’s review lines up well with my...

    Singing at 65-70 mph

    No issues with my Macan 4 with Standard 20” wheels and Pirelli Scorpion MS tires. I had a beloved car rebuilt in the past and it was returned with such an issue. It was/would be a deal breaker for me too. Something’s not right but it may be somehow tied to the wheels, tires or an unusual...

    Is it possible to power things in my house with the Macan in case of power outage?

    A sufficient solar + battery solution is ideal for powering your house and charging your car. There are several caveats here. Such a solution is more effective in summer than winter and also in sunny weather. Overcast and rainy, especially in winter, not so much. Hopefully those who have...

    Macan EV PCM — Tips and Tricks

    You can set comfort access to unlock driver door only, entire driver side or all doors. If you prefer the more restrictive lock setting, you can double press the key fob unlock to unlock all doors also. This may only be for 4 zone climate control only. You can use the climate menu to set the...

    InnoDrive issue. Plug & Charge also not working

    I had to turn on Lane Keeping along with ACC to get Innodrive. There is a description here. https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/macan-4-ev-detailed-review-3-days-after-delivery.17153/post-262534 Plug in Charge required the following procedure. 1. Perform a factory reset in the PCM 2...

    Porsche Navigation versus CarPlay Navigation: Is there a clear winner?

    Glad to help. Porsche Navigation is standard but integration with the Heads Up Display option makes the HUD a compelling value proposition even with it’s hefty price tag. I opted in for the HUD early and stuck to it. Other features were more difficult decisions for me.

    Porsche Navigation versus CarPlay Navigation: Is there a clear winner?

    Recently, I chose the Porsche navigation app to navigate to a friend’s house instead of using CarPlay. After reading reviews about the augmented reality features maybe AR would demonstrate some advantages over the Apple Maps and CarPlay. Also, it was interesting to see how well CarPlay and...
