    PCM Blackout

    This happened to me yesterday. Car was sitting for a few days then I drove it a mile to the store, then when I got back in, the screen was blank. No warnings or alerts in the main display and the car drove just fine, HUD worked as usual. Drove it on a 40 min. drive and after about 10 min. of...

    New software version coming week 36 of 2025

    As Steven noted, Porsche uses outside contractors to develop in-car sub-system software. I know this was true a few years ago on the Cayman/Boxster as I was working with one of them in Germany. There are a number of separate, smaller firmware controlled sub-systems and each has its own...

    More 4 vs 4s debate- just for fun.

    If milage was the same, 4S for sure. Otherwise the 4 option is pretty darn good (I'm biased, that's my build:).

    Macan 4 Electric - Very Disappointed

    This is really scary. I have had mine since November. Early on I had Assistance System errors that came and went and after a few resets and a software update (for the lights recall), not had any issues...over 2,000 miles now. So I'm really happy with the car. The lemon law might be the best...

    charging telephone compartment : the new black hole

    I think it's great spot and no need for light. As previously noted, leaving your phone in the charger happens all the time...so ya, the "good-bye screen" should yell at you to don't forget your phone!

    In US- bought now before tariff

    Nice package! I did the same thing...and this was back in November and there only rumors of the tariff. Planned to order but found mine pretty close to what I wanted so decided not to risk the price increase. The 4 was plenty fast so I don't miss the S...but maybe next time! So if dealer...

    Brake Regen vs Pads feel?

    I can't tell. I can see the re-gen level on the power meter and watch it go deep or not while braking...can't feel any point where it "cuts in" with the pads. Very well done.

    Tariffs - If EU are included

    This is one reason I took my car off the lot in November...I don't trust that there won't be some effect on prices soon...same with the $7,500 EV incentive...that's can't last long in this environment.

    Which chargers can we use?

    I have used the dealer's chargers more than once. Before I had my home charger I needed to charge on a long drive and found the local dealer In the area. No issue and half an hour later I was off.

    Plug & Charge Issues

    It will do it again...the tech had no idea what the problem is. The system software has just not been totally flushed out. I'd feel better when they will do OTA updates.

    Plug & Charge Issues

    My Porsche app would not connect to the car...never has. But my phone did and Apple Car Play worked just fine. Hence Plug and Charge was not active. But I'm charging at home so I'll deal with that later...so yesterday is later. Car Play just stopped working. Phone showed still connected...

    Assistance Systems Error - Speed Limit Display (warning message)

    I've had no further issues now for a couple of weeks. This might just a new car issue...things might need to get fully exercised before everyone gets happy. User error could be part of it...I discovered the little button under the speed set lever that turns off the assistance feature...it...

    The One reason I did not get the Macan 4 and ordered the 4S

    Yes, that was it. Only one of this color in the State at the time.

    The One reason I did not get the Macan 4 and ordered the 4S

    I drove a turbo first then the 4 (no S out yet)...Turbo was amazing but stupid fast and the 4 was "fast enough". Ended up with a 4 they had in stock...I would have ordered the S if I had not got this one. Now driving it, its so silent and isolated that you miss the concept of speed...I'm...

    Assistance Systems Error - Speed Limit Display (warning message)

    Please let us know what they do. I'm somewhat skeptical that it's hardware related. If it's a software update, find out the release number...my dealer was pretty useless in knowing anything about software updates. One would think that the recall update would be the latest and include the...

    Assistance Systems Error - Speed Limit Display (warning message)

    I've had my 4 for a few weeks now and have had the "Assistance Systems Error" a couple of times. Happened yesterday on start up. Drove about a mile and I stopped, shut off the system and restarted. Still had the error but it cleared itself in a couple of minutes. Clearly a software bug in...

    Macan4 battery consumption and charging

    My first real road trip report. In my 4S yesterday I drove down to San Diego from OC...about 80 miles mostly freeway and then did some local driving and then back to OC. Attached is the data for this trip. I did not take any care in how I drove.... I was in Sport mode and mostly at 75mph on...

    Macan EV Turbo - PTS Riviera Blue 😍 Fully Loaded Spec

    That would be nice. I wanted something like yours and not happy when they wouldn't do the PTS. Never heard why or when they would again...I assume it's related to new model issues. I'm on a lease so I'll have another chance:)

    Was just told the thermal / noise insulated glass is no longer available

    The rear windows are much darker than the front. When driving in full daylight, the view out the rearview mirror is very cave like. Feels very small and dark...I feel very removed from knowing where the traffic is behind me. I think it will take some getting used to. I have 20" wheels and...

    Macan EV Turbo - PTS Riviera Blue 😍 Fully Loaded Spec

    Very nice. Looks just a little darker than my stock color. How would you compare the color in person? I tried to order PTS and my dealer said Porsche was not taking PTS orders on this model now. That led me to buy mine off the lot. Glad to see you were able to get it.
