  1. Squeaky steering wheel

    Hi, In fact I do not have this option. (I'm having the issue checked out next month, and will report back.)
  2. Squeaky steering wheel

    I've had my lovely Macan 4 for just under a month, and over the past week it's developed an annoying, noticeable squeak when I manoeuvre at low speeds (such as when driving around a car park, doing a 3-point turn on my drive, or when doing tight turns into or out of a junction). It doesn't need...
  3. Cruise control issue: "Cruise Control not available drivers seatbelt undone"

    This happened to me too driving away from the dealer.
  4. Macan 4 – Quick review from 1st time Porsche owner (former Model Y owner)

    I've had my Macan 4 for just over two weeks. What I regret: In retrospect, I should have had the sideblades painted in the exterior colour (Dolomite Silver). I opted for this colour as in my experience, silver shows the dirt less than most others. However, the sideblades, being black, can start...
  5. Macan 4 EV - Octopus intelligent sync issue

    I had similar issues with my Macan 4 and the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff, but it seems to be fine now. However, crucially, I had to select my charger (a Hypervolt 3 Pro) as the 'device' on the Octopus app. and not the vehicle itself. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but...
  6. Do UK Porsche Centres ever offer a choice of registration number?

    My car has now 'left the port of shipment'. I asked my (UK) Porsche Centre if they get issued with batch registration numbers prior to registering vehicles, and if so, if I could have the opportunity of choosing my car’s registration number from what they had available? The reply was that my...
  7. Dealer error with configuration

    Update: The dealer acknowledged that there had been an 'error in the system' and offered a discount if I agreed to accept the car without the passenger display (rather than re-order one with and wait until May for delivery. I checked with another dealer, and they confirmed that this would indeed...
  8. Dealer error with configuration

    Many thanks for the sensible, sound advice.
  9. Dealer error with configuration

    Many thanks @krissrock and @shawn. The first added option was the passenger display – not my choice, but my wife insisted on having it after seeing how useful it was in independently searching and reconfiguring the GPS before 'sharing' it with the driver's system. She discovered how useful this...
  10. Dealer error with configuration

    About two months ago I asked my (UK) Porsche dealer to add an option to my Macan 4 Electric order, which they did. About a month ago I asked the dealer to add an additional (unrelated) option. When they added this option, it looks as if the previously added option 'disappeared' from the...
  11. Home charger recommendations? UK

    I've done a bit more digging, and it looks as if @Salmonfisher is correct (that the Macan cannot be accessed directly), and that only chargers fully integrated with Octopus Intelligent Go will be able to access the ÂŁ0.07 per KWh tariff. Shame that the Andersen A3 won't cut the mustard, so I...
  12. Home charger recommendations? UK

    Interesting! I'm on the UK Intelligent Octopus Go tariff, which I use for my Tesla–a rental car that I'm using until my Macan 4 Electric arrives in January. The Intelligent Octopus Go tariff works really well with the Tesla, and costs around £0.07 per KWh. I spoke to Andersen yesterday, who...
  13. How useful is the heated windscreen option on a Macan EV?

    I guess that not many Macan EV users would yet have experienced a severe frost, but does anyone know how effective the Macan EV heated windscreen is compared to just the standard spec? I’ve found heated windscreens to be fantastic in ICE vehicles, but have no idea how more quickly they might...
  14. Side airbags in rear compartment – optional extra

    Of course you're perfectly correct. I'm surprised that Porsche does not equip the Macan 4 Electric with this safety feature as standard, and wondered if there was a reason (other than generating revenue) for not doing so.
  15. Side airbags in rear compartment – optional extra

    Here in the UK the 'side airbags in the rear outer seat backrests' are an optional extra on the Macan 4 Electric. Would any contributors to this forum know why this safety feature should be an extra? Apart from the cost, is there any reason not to fit them?
  16. Insulated glass or rear wiper? (First post by a Porsche newbie.)

    I’ve never sat in a Porsche, let alone driven one (so please be kind), but currently have a Macan 4 Electric on order, yet to go into build. My previous car was a high-spec. Jaguar F-Pace 3.0d, and I’m currently using a Tesla Model Y Long Range until my Macan is delivered. The big dilemma is...
