So most modern manufacturers are able to update the car in your own garage “over the air” in 10minutes. And Porsche requires the car to be at the dealer “for several days”. That is just mind boggling.
I would not draw much conclusions for the Macan out of this.
The Taycan and other models do run on the Software platform called MIB3. Yesterday’s announcement mentions that this is a simple upgrade to that existing platform with better hardware and app support.
The Macan however runs on a newer...
The 600km range was never promised for -10 degrees. None of the electric cars will manage that, the Macan isn't particularly worse in winter than others. Not even my ICE car gets their promised range in -10.
On the flip side, we're getting really good range in central europe now as it started to...
There are two levels of Apple Car Key.
The basic support requires the phone to be touched to the door handle and the phone to be on the middle console for driving. That's what some older BMW models have. This is using NFC.
There is a 2nd generation which works with UWB that works like the...
Just saw the battery conservation feature in the app (you can also find it in PCM).
It apparently limits the charger to 80% (I do that anyway) and can cool the battery more aggressively when it’s hot.
As this might drain more battery, do you guys have it enabled?
For those unaware of this...
I will be very surprised if they just release this in a software update. Knowing the german brands this will only come as a costly upgrade to new cars. Just setting the expectations low so we aren’t all disappointed when it comes out.
Everybody values features slightly differently.
Even though I don't understand how you can forgive interior quality, ride quality and performance (amongst other things) for a "phone key" but to each their own.
@W1NGE I assumed so. But that's why I suggested replacing Bose/Sport Chrono with one of the other options. I am aware that he can not afford ALL of them at the same time but at least consider them.
I am just saying that I would use a limited budged towards other options than Bose and Chrono -...
Sport Chrono does not give you more performance, it just adds another drive mode.
I think its a great addition to the interior and makes up a Porsche - but do not get it for performance. I would get air suspension over sport chrono any day though.
Rear wheel steering is also great, so is the...
That would be great. My BMW from 2019 can already do this.
I use this very rarely but it has proven to be useful at times. Especially the fact that you can send the key around.
Did my first proper commute (without going bananas with the accelerator pedal) with the 4S.
21", Summer tires, 3 °C (37 °F).
Car is brand new and below 100km (62 miles).
Consumption was 22kwh (2.82 mi/kWh) for 30min & 25km (15.5 miles) mix between normal roads and autobahn (max 130 km/h / 80...
You also loose the majority of sub trunk space. Not the whole 60litre of it but I’d say 50 of it.
However, it is not that this space is particularly useful.
For most Bose is a good compromise, I am happy I took it over standard.
