I’ll swap you with mine. It gets all the way up to “meh” degrees. More usefully, ask your dealer if you can compare with other cars on the lot and if it’s out of whack get them to take a look at it. I’m sure there’s a potentiometer somewhere (or digital equivalent)in the system that could be...

My July/August built 4S is in for some minor fixes (passenger side charge port not charging, window sensor dead) and I asked about the update - was told it’s not available for my car. Age? Computer doesn’t tell the service manager why it’s unavailable, just that it is.

I specced it (anything to help in fire season, sorry, summer). No dust issue here beyond what I’ve had with previous cars. /anecdata

When you're feeling down about Porsche's software, or annoyed at their interior fitting standards, spare a thought for Lucid customers:

Compared to our Bronco Sport, the wheel is slower to heat up and doesn’t get anywhere near as toasty, here in somewhat mild Whistler. 0C and snowing today, has been down to -5 and the Porsche has been consistently less effective.

Got them free (with the other ones) and they're perfect here in not-London BC. Will probably use them all year.

Humour plainly isn’t universal, but I thought the tone and the “/s” sarcasm notifier would do the trick. I was mildly pillorying the recent trend for massively overreacting to tiny things in this forum. So no, I’m not being serious, although the problem is real.

I'd like to be considered for the prestigious "Smallest Bug" prize: yesterday the app started telling me that it doesn't know whether the rear right window is open. If Porsche can make such a stupid mistake in the app, imagine how bad the safety systems must be /s. I'll wait until I have time...

My previous reply was too brief - the reality for the Macan is the same as it was in the Tesla: a given charge will result in less driven miles in cold weather. The theoretical “miles” figure as displayed just after charging is always a guess, for both the Tesla and the Porsche. Tesla lies more...

Yes

Sorry, I’ve become North American-centric. Unforgivable as an erstwhile European/Brit. Edited thread title.

You should have received an email today and then updated your app, but supposedly we can now do the whole Tesla charging procedure without needing the Tesla app. EDIT: seems to be NA only, confirmed that it doesn’t work in UK.

https://www.topgear.com/long-term-car-reviews/porsche/macan/470kw-turbo-100kwh-5dr-auto/report-1 Summary: good Porsche, good electric SUV, might not be the right vehicle for everyone. EDIT: mangled this good and proper, so started again with a better link.

Anecdotally the two-press version does work. Trip out to Nanaimo last month my alarm went off. First time for any vehicle I've taken on that ferry, incidentally. Trip back, using the two-press manoeuvre, no alarm. Didn't control for all variables so who knows, but I'd read the same page in the...

That's the G-force meter, shows how quickly you are accelerating in each direction. Blob in the middle represents a top-down view of the car. Fun to watch on the track, irrelevant on the road. To get rid of it, see the section on "Operating Multifunction Steering Wheel" in the manual...

If the "detail" isn't "Bug fixes and performance improvements. Increased stability" then my gast will be flabbered.

Intrigued by this - the storage instruction for the Tesla was "set to 50% and leave plugged in". Basically you plug your Tesla in when you're not driving it and leave it plugged in. I've been doing the same with the Macan.

London, England, harshest climate on the planet... Three months in that or a green belt storage facility should be fine. I left my 911 out in Lincolnshire for months on end. Vehicle fine. Don't cover unless the vehicle is inside; as others have said you will possibly return to lightly buffed...

One, possibly really dumb, question that occurs to me: are people with losses using the app at all to check for losses, possibly several times a day? Do they have Apple watch complications? Do they use ABRP or similar apps that link to the car? In ye olden Tesla days these were red flags for...
