    Driver (left) side Charging Port Issue

    Hi, after 2 days with majority of the temperature being slightly above 0 (2-5 Celsius) the left door is still not opening. It really feels locked. I ensured that the right charge door is closed correctly and flush. There are no warnings in the car that either door is opened. I don't need to...

    Driver (left) side Charging Port Issue

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it for over 15 minutes but no luck. There is no visible ice anywhere around the door. Pressing and moving the door around feels just like the right charge port (which opens). It is entirely made of cheap plastic on the inside, so it is still likely...

    Driver (left) side Charging Port Issue

    So I just got home from work, and the left charge port door is not opening. We are currently at -11 Celsius with light snow. The right door struggled to open so I suspect these manual doors are sensitive to water/ice/snow. My indoor garage is a huge mess so it's not possible for me to store it...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    Hi, sorry I only have the notes from the dealer saying that they first looked for any known rear-hatch rattling issues, and that they found the technical directive from Porsche: TI-5587 . They said they followed the procedure in TI-5587, drove the car to hear that their adjustments improved the...

    Driver (left) side Charging Port Issue

    I just got my car back a couple of hours ago because BOTH my manual charge ports were not opening. My left charge port stopped opening a few weeks ago after a random "Right charge port impaired" error popped up. Yup you read that correctly, my RIGHT charge port gave an error, but the left one...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    Just picked up my car, and the update to 28.13 happened, but there is a note saying that the upgrade for the compressor failed, but it worked after a second attempt. The rear hatch rattle is gone! They saw a TI 5587 (or 5578? I left the paperwork in the car) that is related to rear-hatch...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    Hi FrediBee, I am also based in Montreal, and my car is at Porsche Prestige as we speak. It has been there since last week when my car decided to lock both charge ports for fun. It is at the dealer for the charge ports, the usual right-rear rattle (hatch) but also for the 3 Porsche updates: 1)...

    Best Winter Tyres (20")

    Hi, I have the Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2's in 21" wheels. They have very good traction in our Montreal snowstorms and are quite smooth and quiet. I always preferred and love Michelin X-Ice tires though. I have had various generations of them, and find them excellent in every way (ultra smooth...

    Does your Macan EV keep SoC stable when left idle for a week or longer?

    Hi, I haven't been able to open both of my manual charge port doors for the last 6 days or so. The car has been sitting outside with temperatures dropping to as low as -19C, and mostly -10C for most of the time. It was at 77% and still was 77% when I took it to the dealership earlier this...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Hi, Thanks for the recommendation! I tried it earlier today but no luck. I have an appointment next week, and plenty of battery (despite the winter weather) so I will have them check. There are no errors or warnings but maybe a stored code that is locking both doors. Anyway, just a few more...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Hi, so now both my charge ports are not opening. It feels like they are both locked and are not unlocking. I scheduled an appointment with my dealer for December 30, and it looks like there are maintenance services, one to replace the rear cargo cover, and the other is a software update. I am at...

    Software updates - why is Porsche so far behind.......?

    Hi Folks, My Macan 4 is my first Porsche experience and it echoes what most of you are saying. It drives beautifully, but it's a software nightmare. Almost exactly 1 year of ownership, and I am convinced that the issues are weather related. The first three months that I had the car were during...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Hi Folks, Adding to this thread instead of opening a new one. We had our first big snowstorm in Montreal, and I got the "Right charge port impaired" amber warning earlier today. However this is what actually happened, and the issue is on the left charge port though. I was turning into my...

    Rogers data plan (that came with my Macan 4 EV) 80% of 3GB warning...used for what?

    Hmm this is great info! Not sure how it connects, I didn't think of the car's WiFi taking over. Thanks, I'll look into this! Cogs

    Rogers data plan (that came with my Macan 4 EV) 80% of 3GB warning...used for what?

    Hi Folks, I just got a text message (and Porsche app warning) that my Macan 4 EV has used 80% of its 3GB data plan. I have tried the onboard maps once just to see how it looks, and downloaded a 20-something MB game for fun. But that's all I (thought) I was using the car's built-in data plan...

    Aftermarket Wheels

    Hi Folks, I wanted a set of 21" wheels for the winter on my Macan 4 EV. There are a few online shops for wheels in Canada but many are not showing correct wheels (wrong bolt patterns etc). I ordered a set of Braelin BR10's from Quattro Tires but unfortunately they do not fit. Quattro Tires had...

    New Porsche CEO Michael Leiters as of January 1, 2026

    Hi Folks, aside from my very underwhelming purchase experience (they just removed a cover from my car, and I had to ask for any kind of Porsche swag), the service has been amazing at Porsche Prestige (dealer closer to where I live). The technical rep is excellent, they update me with texts and...

    Assistance Systems Error - Speed Limit Display (warning message)

    The assistance systems error disappeared after a few days (i.e. no error today). BUT the weather was crazy hot on Sunday (22 C for Montreal in October!), and a nice 17 C today as well. Let's see if it comes back when the temperature drops more later in the week.

    Assistance Systems Error - Speed Limit Display (warning message)

    This Assistance Systems Limited warning popped up and has stayed on all day, despite leaving the car multiple times for a few hours in between each drive. It is actually seeing and displaying the correct speed limit. My car has all the recent updates. I swear I knew I would start having...

    9 month - 4200km personal review of my Macan 4

    Hi Folks, Thanks for chiming in with your experiences. I forgot to mention a couple of more good things and tiny annoyances: I have the Bose sound system, and for the first few weeks, I thought it sounded terrible (like others have expressed). But after those few weeks, it's like something...
