    Powered Charge Port Door - Be Careful

    Try the sequence posted in photos above.. that should work. If you can get them to activate the ā€˜goodbye’ screen, that has the same visual of the car and the chargeport doors (along with the front frunk and back hatch) .. pressing down on the plug cover and activating the chargeport from...

    Powered Charge Port Door - Be Careful

    Mine snaps back as well.. this was a set of unintended consequences set off by a failed authentication of P and C. I tried re-plugging almost immediately to re-authenticate and the door tried closing as I was plugging in. So it was partly my fault .. Nevertheless it shouldn’t stick there and...

    Powered Charge Port Door - Be Careful

    I had the same issue and I tried to force the thing open.. I could not no matter how hard I tried pushing on it. I did manage to eventually push down the DC cover flap and then unlocked and locked the car in succession causing (don’t ask me why) the charging door to retract and free up the...

    Powered Charge Port Door - Be Careful

    Unfortunately, it just happened to me as well. Just yesterday as I was trying to charge at an EA station. The station failed to authenticate my certificate and I was pulling out the charging assembly. The door tried to close and got jammed by the DC charging cover flap. Porsche 800 number...

    Problems charging at Evolve NY EA charger

    So I took a trip of about 325 miles this week each way (650 round trip). The first half went beautifully and I charged at 2 chargers just to make sure I had enough juice to not have to worry about starting back. EA at Evolve NY worked well on the way there. On the way back, all of a...

    Initial thoughts after first 5 days of my 2025 Macan 4 EV

    FYI.. I have the 4S. It's a BEAST! I was just merging on the highway today and wanted to get past some traffic. I hit the accelerator in 'normal' mode and then glanced down at the speedometer. Before I knew it, I was at 110 MPH!!! I couldn't believe it because it felt solid and like I...

    Gripes 6mo into ownership

    Completely agree. I love my 4S so far. I only got the Bose sound system but even that is fine. I haven't tried the speech reco but that's a good idea since i also find that the menu system is hard to constantly relearn. As I said earlier, no rattles either. I really think there is...

    Gripes 6mo into ownership

    I get periodic console software glitches (getting rare) but they go away almost immediately. So far, I have no rattles. I have noticed the issue on Carplay where the sound is muted but it doesn't actually stop my audiobooks or music. So I stop it manually. We have very rough roads in...

    Tariff anxiety . . .

    Just looked in my area and there are plenty of 4, 4s and Turbo models in all 4 dealerships within 20 miles. So if you haven’t got one and are willing to compromise on config a bit for the sake of avoiding tariff price hikes, I don’t see an issue. Looks like they may have increased their...

    Just picked up my 4S - initial comments, reactions, etc. FYI - It was WORTH THE WAIT!!

    I don't think you are actually trying the acceleration. I have a 4S. What I have found is that the accelerator pedal is very gradual unless you really punch it.. in which case, it will trend towards 'close to whiplash'. I have a friend who has a Tesla model 3, he warned me about the...

    Loaded 4S or lean Turbo?

    It's always a personal choice .. but when I first looked at getting a Macan EV, I didn't have the choice of the 4S .. when I started the ordering process, they announced it. I quickly switched and have never looked back nor regretted it. I have a friend who got the Turbo and loves it but...

    Porsche supplied charger at 50% vs 100%

    I had exactly this same issue initially and could find no documentation in the Macan manuals. I did find the information on an earlier post in this forum. There is also no information in the manual that tells you how to identify the EVSE charger to the app. The only thing I can assume is...

    Range with 10% SOC

    So I am confused by this thread. If you watch the 'out of spec' videos on YouTube, they have taken the Macan 4 on extensive roadtrips setting the charge level arrival rates at charger stops at 7% on the route planner (even in 20 degrees F weather) and had no issues (Dave did an around 1800...

    Carplay and Wifi conflict

    I had noticed that already. I have the manual installed on my app but search is only ok and their terminology is sometimes obscure making simple keyword search difficult. Thanks

    Carplay and Wifi conflict

    I Have a netgear Orbi system. I could do that as well but it’s not as easy on the app as it is with eero. I’m waiting to get the Eero 7 mesh. I will wait till Porsche figures it out. They have a lot to do to the software. Maybe they’ll end up buying Rivian sooner than later. They need...

    Carplay and Wifi conflict

    Thanks. Once I saw your response, I figured that was the case. A bit like casting/airplay must use a WiFi connection. I remember reading also that the car can generate a hotspot also assuming Verizon can give us enough bandwidth (ha ha). Hopefully the car can also do, in the future, what...

    Carplay and Wifi conflict

    Thanks to you both. That makes sense. Didn’t realize they didn’t use BT to do that. Also makes clear why I can still connect my iPhone via BT to get phone and music but not CarPlay. I have only had wired CarPlay in the past. I’ll have to study a bit more about wireless CarPlay ...

    Carplay and Wifi conflict

    So whenever I have my car in my garage and connected to the house Wifi, carplay doesn't work. I can connect my phone to play music and use the phone functions but the Carplay function is not available. I know I've see this posted elsewhere as an issue in these forums. I have no clue as to...

    Macan 4S EV Detailed First Impressions

    Happy to answer: I did the reset on my own. I pressed the volume button down for the requisite number of seconds (I forgot the number >10?) but the car rebooted just fine and I was able to reset the number of accounts to just mine as the primary. There are a number of accounts (1 or 2) set...

    Macan 4S EV Detailed First Impressions

    No REGRETS: I've had many of the same issues with my 2025 4S (took delivery in late Dec). It took me about 4 days to actually get Plug&Charge to deliver a certificate after resetting the car and getting the feature to actually not be greyed out. I get the sense that their back end servers are...
