100% agree with Joev comments on Innodrive. Although I’d add that for me it is very useful in stop and go traffic. Keeps me from rear ending the car in front.

Drive like you stole it. Or better, Drive it like it’s your last trip.

Ditto. 2 Macan’s, 2 software updates, both charge normally at home. ChargePoint hardwired wall unit.

This has been driving me crazy. My Macan displayed efficiency in units of kWh/100 miles. I don’t like this for two reasons. First, generally larger numbers are associated with better (higher) performance. Not so with kWh/miles (lower is better). Second, I can’t really use the kWh/miles...

The only reason I assumed it might be the software update is because I had the cameras recalibrated for this very issue a year ago and it didn’t help (plus the windshield replacement a year ago). And yet, this is just a guess. Elsewhere in the forum someone posted that the centering was better...

I had my wife’s Macan 4 in for software two weeks ago. Zero issues. Today, I had my Macan in for a windshield replacement due to crack from a rock. They did the software update on it too. No issues post-install, and one noticeable improvement. Previously Innodrive positioned the vehicle a...

Second Macan is in for windshield replacement today and will also get the software update. First Macan went in for software 2 weeks ago. No issues in two weeks on first vehicle. Dealer is likely one of the largest in the world, and is very competent. On a section of road that recently was...

He missed the #1 best tip: just move to a warmer climate for the winter. 😆

My one-year-old Macan is going in for the second windshield (thermal/acoustic glass) replacement in that year. First time was last spring and I was surprised that the replacement was available in just a few days on such a new model with optional glass. Second time, less than a week between the...

My experience is better. I don’t have the detailed data, but anecdotally I’m getting higher rates about 50% of the time on EA stations when my SOC is low and the charging curve would support it. It is, however, a bit of a mystery when I will get it and not: I‘m the only vehicle and I get a...

I went to AI for a bit more information on temperature effects, specifically asking about air density and rolling resistance. Air density is about 7.5% greater at 0 C (32 F) than at 20 C (68 F). Rolling resistance is 15-30% higher at 0 C. So these have significant effects on range.

The update has been reliable, but today as I was charging at EA, this was the battery screen. It continued to charge, was drivable, and it later returned to normal after shutting down the vehicle for a few minutes. So still some bugs in the software.

Free. Yes, only at a dealer. Any dealer should be able / willing to do it. My update took one day (next day because I had other work done, but update was done in one day).

I have yet to see another Macan EV in Phoenix, but I did see a Fiskar Ocean today. That is a unicorn. That owner is screwed. 😆

I agree with the OP on his observations. I have two Macan 4’s, both pretty highly optioned. I spec’ed and ordered one, liked it, and bought a second CPO for my wife (original owner wanted a different color and buys a new car every few months). My two 4’s have slightly different options: - 20...

The supported wattage is quite low. I could not power a small shop vac from the outlet.

I got the Tesla P&C email from Porsche on Tuesday as I was leaving on a road trip. So decided to try it. It worked first try, with no setup. But I only got 125 kW rate. I recall EA (only 4 stations) across the street was $.56 and Tesla was $.62 (like a bazillion stations).

I had the software update done yesterday. The Macan was there for one day (with it also receiving a minor wheel repair), and so the update seems like it was a non-event for the technician. Scottsdale dealership is first class. Driving home, no issues, didn’t notice any big changes. Charging...

Software updated today, 2024 Macan 4, ChargePoint home charger, Phoenix, Arizona, no issues charging before or after the update.

In a recent “race” on the US East Coast, Out of Spec ran several three-row EV’s from Maine to Florida (No Porsche). What stood out for me was that there were software-related issues with many of these vehicles. One Lucid wouldn’t shift into “drive” until they shook the key fob, and even that...
