I just remembered that only a week ago my Porsche Center was marketing their “Black Edition” Cayennes and had an interview with one of the sales reps. When they talked about the different “benefits” (read: mumbo jumbo), one of the USPs was that the 14-way seat is the most comfortable option...

This argument is completely nonsensical. Porsche has never marketed OTA updates as a core pillar of their brand, yet people cross-shop them with Teslas and bafflingly assume they should function the same way. There is a massive difference between demanding that basic, essential functions work...

My five cents is that since the Macan is the entry-level model and attracts a much broader customer base, it also comes with a wider range of expectations and feature demands that traditional Porsche buyers typically don’t prioritize. Personally (and I’ve said this countless times in every...

Yes, exactly like that. One hand on each side and pull towards yourself and it should come off. Little force is needed but do not be excessive in it. After that it should be like a ”black panel” behind it with the latch.

This is something I’d recommend everyone on this forum push their dealers to do. They’re obliged to provide a loaner for an issue this significant, It’s really the least they can offer. You’ll save miles on your own car, and you may even be able to charge it as well. It might be a bit less...

Just out of curiosity, has anyone taken a loaner (Macan EV) from your dealer and tried charging it to see if it works?

No need to wait until then. The head of the service department gave me a tip in case you ever need to open it manually. You can gently press with your fingertips on the inside of the painted part of the charging door and remove it. Inside, there’s a small latch you can press that forces the port...

I do tend to agree that Power Steering Plus isn’t really important on this car compared to a 911 (This can be argued that it removes the "sporty feeling" as well on a 911). However, I want to reiterate what you already mentioned in your post: definitely option RWS. It feels like a whole...

It seems looks like markings from other keys! Try putting other keys not in the same pocket as your car-key and it will probably help a lot! My key looked as new as it could with the occasional three year old throwing it like an American football.

For what it’s worth, my dealer told me that the new update allows Porsche Centers to see much more specific error messages. Before, just like you’re saying, they only had access to a big list of generic codes that couldn’t be interpreted properly. After the update, they were able to identify and...

You need to push back because my dealer (only at first) did the same thing. It sadly depends on how firm you are which is evidently showing how they suddenly became willing to solve the issue after you escalated to HQ. If I were you, I would get a loaner and leave it to them until they find a...

No faults at all except yellow warnings from home regarding Ac-charging but nothing they could see. Just a heads up regarding my dealer: The dealer involved is one of only two in Sweden authorized to carry out Manthey kits, so a lack of competence or basic diagnostics isn’t the issue here...

When I had issues charging at home the decision from Germany was to change the high voltage charging system that is placed below the rear seats. That fixed all the issues, they diagnosed it over night and sent the info to Porsche AG. This is pretty clear to be a smiliar issue. I am flabbergasted...

I understand your point, but speaking from direct experience as someone running three child seats in the rear, the Cayenne is significantly more practical and spacious than the Macan. Even the Cayenne ICE, despite being smaller than the new Cayenne EV, is far better packaged than the Macan EV...

No, not even close. That is not even acceptable for a non-premium car. What the heck is that?! You need to have a serious conversation with your dealer and involve Porsche HQ.

The soun The sound in the video is the same one used in the Cayenne E-Hybrid and basically all other Porsche EVs in the current lineup. It’s the legally required sound below 30 km/h. Whether that sound is also the same as the acceleration sound in the Taycan or Macan when “Electric Sport...

The Porsche is a drivers car, the iX isn’t. You really don’t have to go deeper than that. If you are comparing these cars to begin with you might need to reconsider, because I agree what my forum friends said above. The cars are great, but for two completely different things. It sounds rough...

It just gives me a headache after a few minutes, not worth the extra money! You get the thrill by acceleration either way😃

I was at the dealership today and “tried” it in the GT3 and in a Macan EV. I decided to stick with the leather option. It is probably awesome for a sports car though. But yeah, a stated above, this is clearly a subjective issue and you probably need patience to maintain it. Thanks for all the...
