I watched a video of the iX where the front 'grill panel' had to replaced due to a stone chip causing a 'star' in the plastic. The guy said it could be a regular occurrence due to the size of the clear panel. As the front camera sits behind the panel the screen has to be free from chips. He had...

As the dealers will most likely experience high cancellation rates after the 2nd April, as the cars will be too expensive & uncompetitive, do you think they will risk sales by putting existing cars into the same category. i‘m sure the dealers will be trying to find ways to cover the potential...

I think this press release was for the UK and it’s dated 16th July 2024 https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2024/products/porsche-macan-electric-and-macan-4s-electric-36836.html

My experience with Range Rover updates was one where they resolved an issue but brought back a previously resolved issue - time after time. The dealer warned me each time the car was ‘updated’ and sure enough on about 6 occasions it happened. I’m hoping for a bit more stability by having fewer...

In the UK that would mean no overtaking despite there not being double white lines in the road.

I've just seen an informative video about the changes in road tax. They made an interesting point and I wonder how many buyers will get caught out. Apparently, if an EV is registered by a dealer before April (as say a demo) then sells the car after 1st April the £ 410 luxury car tax will apply...

Another advantage would be if Rachel From Accounts decides to change the “luxury car tax“ exception for EV‘s which are registered before April. She says she is not going to increase taxes in her Statement next week but changing an exception is not an increase - could save £ 460.

I would think it’s more than a coincidence that your keys discharged at an exceptional rate and your 12v battery was also flat. Sounds like the system and key are constantly searching rather than shutting off. Changing the battery in the key wouldn’t sort it as the new one would just carry on...

Porsche say that they Macan EV seating is a lot lower than the ICE. Having had a Range Rover I am used to a high seat but as prime said, the steering wheel doesn’t go high enough - it is the only car I have had that adjusts the steering wheel so low. It’s not a real problem though as I have the HUD.

I expected you to have tracked the progress in the App, maybe not available in France. I’m sure you are right about Oct as you had it in France early November. Mine was built in late Jan. Hope you get your turbo back soon

Porsche must be in a very difficult place, they're at severe risk of being shut out of the US market but there is an upside for us Europeans - Tesla’s market in Europe and UK will similarly melt (already dropped 50%) so hopefully we’ll be lectured less by Musk as he will be busy trying to stay...

Many thanks

Forgive my ignorance - comfort access unlocks and connects to CarPlay as you approach the car. Would you have to keep the app running before entry until you exit ? If you or your phone decides to close the app during a journey how does the know there is a ‘key’ in the car ? Apologies for asking...

bb1 - do you know when your car was manufactured.

There was a massive fire at a multi storey car park in the UK. Immediately widely covered in the ‘media’ that it could only have been caused by an EV. The truth was, it was a diesel that caught fire and destroyed 1,400 cars. BBC then reported the truth that the report confirmed the vehicle was...

I read that about 50% of superchargers are available to non Tesla’s in the UK. Tesla went down the road of providing the unique infrastructure to not only make money but also to lock in owners to use it and encourage them to stay in the ‘brand’. For once Europe (including the UK) agreed to use...

Despite paying £ 750 for a tracker I do think it is really a waste of money in the UK. I can’t see the police reacting to an alert and recovering the car. There seems to be very few traffic cars in the whole of Essex- that isn’t the welcome news it would have been in the past regards speeding...

Sorry - meant to say more than the US !

As a Brit I found it refreshing - a review of a Macan that didn’t once compare any aspect of it to a ………..Tesla. The UK base price of a 4s is about £ 9k less than one in the US but is actually £12k when the options in the UK are added for the roof, air suspension and power steering plus. This...

My March UK 4s has the 20” Bridgestone Potenza Enliten which allegedly are bespoke for the Macan. Very early days but they seem to be quiet and do their job well. The pressures on collection were for high load and so were overinflated for my use. I reduced them by about 8 psi and it certainly...
