I really hope it’s the same issue, because if that’s the case it’ll be resolved very quickly once they decide to change the hardware, and my issue will probably already be noted in their “records,” allowing for a faster decision on their end. The main issue might be that it takes some time for...

I think Race-Tex feels quite nice (especially in a GTS) and is fairly resistant to scratches and similar wear. It will look almost brand new even after a few years, as long as you don’t eat in the car or sweat excessively. Even if that becomes an issue, wiping it down once a month with the right...

It seems that all of you experiencing the delays are located in NA. This could, as mentioned above, be related to global events, but is more likely due to issues with the logistics/shipping itself rather than supply chain problems.

It supports the Cayenne e-hybrid system (which is basically the same software as the Taycan) so I would like to think that it would carry over to the EV-version.

Sadly, after driving multiple J1.2 Taycans and Cayenne loaners, I’ve come to the conclusion that Porsche has taken the idea of “entry level” to a completely different place with the Macan compared to the rest of their lineup. The Taycan and Cayenne feel light-years ahead in terms of overall...

Yes, exactly!

Nice!🇸🇪 Well, I’ve been driving at over 110-139 km/h for more than an hour in temperatures below 0°C, and the battery wouldn’t budge from -1°C, or at best just creep above zero. Even then, it’s still essentially useless for DC charging without pre-heating. It’s such a big factor that car...

You wouldn’t happen to live in one of the warmer states, would you? For us in Scandinavia, pre-heating isn’t just important, it’s essential. Without it, you can barely charge on longer trips. Of course, in the summer it’s not nearly as critical.

Oh, I’m sorry if I was unclear! I was referring to the charging capability in relation to battery temperature for DC charging. As I understand it, the battery won’t preheat if you’re using navigation systems other than the one in the PCM.

Just out of curiosity, for all of the above: since you’re using other navigation systems instead of the one in the PCM, how are you dealing with the battery not warming up when charging etc?

Ah, that awful warning. I had it many times in my car before they repurchased it. Apparently they needed to replace the high-voltage charging system below the rear seats because of this. The issue was that it took almost 4–5 months for them to assess it, because they kept saying, “it might be...

Many dealers do not choose to send a ticket to Germany, either due to laziness or because they believe they already know the answer. Have they actually sent anything to PAG for confirmation? The main reason they can’t replace anything prior to approval is that most parts are not kept locally...

This specific problem was an issue my head of service noticed himself when he test drove my car after one of the (many) issues it was in for. They took diagnostics and sent it to Porsche AG, about a week later it was an ECU/nano chip thing (can’t remember what it was called) that needed to be...

Congratulations, looks really nice! Any particular reason you didn’t option RAS?

The US is something I’ve always used as a quality measurement regarding the excellent customer service it has across the states, no matter the business category. But seeing the unresponsive dealers being consistent with almost all the issues involving NA customers is really surprising to me...

This has also been confirmed by the head of service at my dealership. Since my car was in service for months without being driven, he specifically told me not to use the app so the car could stay “asleep.” He also made sure to switch it to “private mode” so I wouldn’t be able to check it in the...

This is obviously very low. I’ve charged my car at -1°C (30°F) and still managed to pull at least 60-100kW on a 360kW charger until the battery reached higher temperatures. SoC was between 15–30%. That said, I would tend to agree with the comment above. It is probably worth first checking...

I couldn’t disagree more regarding the noise-insulating glass option. If you try it yourself in the configurator, you can clearly hear the difference at 100 km/h. And if that’s not convincing enough, I can personally vouch for it. I had it on my own Macan, and after driving several loaners such...

Just found some photos that were for the service department. This was on the higher end of the “cold spectrum”.

Yes, between +1C and -3C
