Yep, shows 108 kWh in the Porsche app as well. 🤣. I will call. oh, and the time was 36 minutes. It was charging at about 175 kW during this time, which works out to be 105kWh. So either the software was completely bogus in its display of the data, or the energy was provided and went…where?

Today was my first day of paid Electrify America charging, after the expiration of my one year free plan. I started charging at 16% and, after reaching 75%, the photo shows I am being charged for consuming 108.48 kWh. Under the free plan, I don’t recall seeing this level of consumption, ever...

One of the great things about the GTS is that it won’t have “Turbo” on the rear badge of an EV. I might be in the minority, but I’ve never liked that Porsche didn’t come up with a different moniker for their top-of-line EV model. And the configurator doesn’t allow for “deletion of model...

Looks tighter than it is because of the goofy mat I have installed and because she is sitting. Standing, she is shorter and headroom is more acceptable that it looks here. I would prefer more space, but this works, even on longer drives.

I came from an ICE Cayenne to the Macan EV, and space for my 80 lb. Golden Retriever was a primary concern, but it has worked out fine. She’s good on even longer trips, let alone trips around town. Headroom is a bit tight, but she lies down on most trips. As others mentioned, setting the rear...

Interesting that various photos (October 9, 15, 16) show vehicles with the rear model designation deleted. I didn’t have that as an option when I configured.

I wonder if a “poor man’s restart,” pushing the vehicle’s “power button” (as it is named in the Owner’s manual) on the left side of the dashboard, to turn off and on the vehicle, would work.

I posted this in another thread a few months ago: the database contains gps roadway information. If that is missing or has changed, it seems you will get that message. The highway near me was permanently re-routed to add more lanes. Now when I drive the new section, I consistently get the...

These are hard water deposits. You might try a glass window cleaner and microfiber cloth. I found that, with some scrubing, 90+% will come off. I also tried a very small amount of “Goo Gone.” Any acidic cleaner, such as vinegar (or more potent cleaning vinegar), should work too. One caveat...

Interesting tidbit from the Stanford study: short, sharp instances of acceleration are actually good for the batteries. Your license to drive it like you stole it: “Honest, dear, I’m just protecting the battery.”

Yes, I withdraw that idea. 😄

There is a lot to like about the Cayenne EV. I’m not in the market for one, but did find a couple of things that would cause me to wait. There is level 2 charging on only one side (right now; to be added to both sides later, I think). I would be one owner that needs it on both sides. The...

As people begin to replace tires, it would be good to get a thread going on their mileage at replacement. It will vary based on driving styles and other factors, but might give us some general insight on tire wear.

I had Hankook tires, with foam inside, on my 2022 Audi Etron SUV. I had a non-repairable puncture at about 14,000 miles and switched to Michelins. The Hankook foam was great, making the tires quieter than the Michelins (no foam). I really liked quieter tires in an EV. I thought, however...

I today too received one of two adapters due to me. Responded to the emails in late September, and so about two months waiting. I appreciate Porsche sending these at no cost, but I did note one thing. Several months ago I bought one: same brand and nearly the same model. The model I bought...

This might work too when the car is unlocked. I had the vehicle unlocked and the charge door would not open. I found touching the rear passenger door handle helps. It is not even necessary to open the passenger door. Merely touching your hand on the passenger door handle and then placing...

Both Lucid and Rivian have some compelling technogies, but I’m leery of their long-term financial prospects. Also, I think it’s easier for legacy companies to get the total vehicle design dialed in faster than the upstarts (even if the upstarts do a better job on software, or in certain other...

I have no battery drain in either of my Macan EV’s, either overnight or over multiple days in an airport garage or my private garage.

In one of the recent reveal videos, it was mentioned that the Cayenne will accept DC only on the left side and AC only on the right side. I AC charge regularly in two different garages and would want AC on both sides of the vehicle for convenience. Not sure if they did this so they could put...

In a separate thread, I mentioned that I repeatedly get Innodrive error messages now on a short part of a US highway that was changed, rerouted on the ground. The error messages occur, but Innodrive continues to work properly. Once I return to the original highway, the messages go away. This...
