Hi to All
reporting range and active driving with regenerative braking vs cruise control
Sunday 8/March
temp outside 38F when I left in misty weather with fog to drive home.
charged at home charger (outside my home garage) @9KwH speed to 100% = 311miles SoC
1hr before departing I preheated...
Hi to All -
Am not disagreeing with observations & suggestions provided by Porsche EV community in this thread.
I will share, however, that as one of those owners who within 1 month of taking delivery of my factory ordered Macan 4 EV, over a 2 day weekend at home, I went to my garage and...
Many good experiences and observations.
I suppose we follow whichever practices we deem work best for our driving style.
Yes. Gas our battery, coasting is a great way to extend range.
Iāve consciously tried cruise control on and off.
Totally agree hard acceleration and braking,
Whether...
Best plan is call and book service with your dealership. Software glitches are sign that dealership service dept should review and do proper reboot. Likely couple of days process. Get a loaner. Best wishes.
Hi to All.
I have been following the many interesting, informed suggestions and observations.
I thought I was smart about Bose having had Bose systems in all my prior Porsches and initially found the version in my Macan 4 EV lacking.
Decided to try something different.
Caution: my note...
Hi. Sounds like your dealer needs to run tests on your battery.
Winter cold hurts range for us all.
My 2024 Macan 4 was factory ordered and Built 1st week of July; delivered Oct/2024. I had several teething issues needing to be sorted.
Miles/Charge in winter is approx:
80%-90% is...
Hi to All
Whilst Iāve loved Bose in prior Porsche vehicles of the years, I join those who find it less than expected.
I join all those not wishing to blow $s on the next level up as cost is not justifiable.
Re settings I find it depends on type of music and era.
Examples:
- I agree...
Thank you and to all whoāve replied.
Iāve been meaning to check the Porsche manual to find out how to do this.
Really appreciate š the initiative to share on this forum the simple step by step process!
Hi. As others have said itās winter.
My experience for 20k miles Macan 4 with 21ā all season tires on mixed motorway (65-70mph on 120mi weekend commute ) and 50mi heavy traffic weekday commute on city roads, night time with lots of electronic options plus heat using battery, 2nd winter and one...
Hi to All.
Iāve tried both local roads and motorways with and without cruise control Settings whether summer or winter.
Non cruise control gets best mileage/range including 70-75 mph.
I believe two factors contribute:
1. Cruise control maintains constant speed, so never regenerates...
Great insights. Am relieved to learn.
Never had problems with Porsche spare parts prior to recent times.
I guess I was a bit too cautious on spare parts availability for parts that a smaller % of total vehicles sold would carry like thermal glass.
Less than a week works for me...
Hi. thanks for your additional insight.
to be clear, the pricing with and without memberships I cited for EA and Tesla are specifically from my memberships and billing summaries. not general assumptions.
hence, I stand by my data, with proviso I noted, that these prices I shared are based...
Hi to All
Super helpful and very informative reviews about Porsche Macan EV models.
thank you all!
some thoughts from the peanut gallery (aka me š¤£):
when ordering my 2024 Macan 4 EV to built in the 1st week of commercial production, my dealer principal told me that Porsche Hybrids had their...
Hi.
couldnāt agree more: love to drive my Macan 4, but canāt if I canāt charge it!
as said before, and am sure most hate me for saying it, Porsche is global leader in ICE engine, transmission, suspension, aerodynamics . Novice for a smartphone on wheels š³š±šµāš«š«Øš¤£
When placing factory order...
Hi to All -
My experience- like everyoneās- is cheapest charging is at home. That said itās only 9kWh speed, so overnight. For long commutes or road trips, EA and Tesla are my options.
Pricing may vary across regions of the US.
NY State observation:
1. EA stations are close (2 miles) to my...
Dear All.
Jumping in as I finally started having Apple Car Play issues this week. 1st time since delivery 15/Oct/2024.
WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity appeared to work.
Screen on car blank.
Tried the connect a mobile phone.
Showed my iPhone 17 but would not link.
Finally options to...
Hi All.
Agree that EA network is very busy due to the many Auto OEMs whoāve signed up with the network. Iād add Ford for the Mach-E model too, to underscore demand for this networkās charging stations.
importantly, as was noted, most have, or are increasingly being reset from unlimited to 85%...
Hi Petzi -
I couldnāt agree more. Itās not the car as a global model. Itās an individual vehicle with issues and a Dealership that isnāt actually fulfilling their role facing end market issues and customers.
my car was fixed and I love it.
best regards.
Oh. I just realized thereās always another option.
car under warranty
Go to another true authorized Porsche dealership. Submit car to service dept.
they pull up official data in Oorsxhe data base and see whatās wrong and been done.
have new dealer - happy to charge the brand under warranty...
Agreed on all fronts with comments just shared. Delighted you have two wonderful Macans! Yay! While I remain fervent about Porscheās amazing ICE legacy, There have been plenty of ālearn on the jobā anecdotal cases for Porsche with EVs; 1st gen Taycan and then 1st gen Macan EVs. That said...
