The 19% less MPK (mi/kWh) at 80 vs 70 in Tom's video is fairly consistent with what we see too. We've done 4 long (2000+ mi) road trips in ours now with mostly 75-80 MPH speed limits, but also some 65-70 mixed in. Just the difference between 75 and 80 probably costs around 10%. Although how...

One would hope, but that's the problem - hoping rather than having confirmation. This was a common topic with the Mach-E 3-4 years ago too when it came out. A software update finally did something to make the car check the LVB more often, but I think the car still had to "wake up" to do it...

Yep. Each EV model handles it a little differently. I don't know what triggers the Macan to charge the 12v battery from the HVB. One idea is to set a weekly departure time while you're gone in hopes that it checks and charges the 12v as necessary. But I don't know if that really works. Just a...

It does. Launching another nav will cancel the other. I've done that with AA.

And then we can nav directly to the DCFC station as the destination? Cool. I'll have to try that. Thanks!

That's about what I would expect. Yours seemed to work. Seems like mine isn't working as it should have gone up at least 7F-10F in half that time. Unless maybe preconditioning doesn't happen if the battery is already above 50F or something? Be nice if there were a better way to do this. I...

I did a short test in ours yesterday. Battery and outside temp were both 56F when I got in. Switched it to Sport+ (we have the chrono) for the 10 minute drive. Still 56F when I arrived. I know 10 minutes isn't long enough to do a full precondition but it didn't even move a degree, let alone...

A precondition button would be even better, yes. But in the absence of that, setting the nav to a DCFC station name vs any other destination name should be an easy alternative.

Logically, you would nav to the food place instead. Or the shopping place. Not the DCFC.

Unless I'm missing what you're saying, the destination is not an icon, it's the entire top section of the nav showing arrival time, arrival%, etc. Then the recommended en-route charging stops are little boxes that slide up/down the vertical line based on how far away they are. In any case, not...

So if we set the destination to be a DCFC station, it won't precondition? We always nav station to station, not to the final destination of the day.

Not noticing those "peanuts" prices they're suggesting.

One good thing about the Macan vs some other EVs... you can do the PCM reboot while the car is moving. Our Lucid Gravity has to be pulled over and put in park.

If you're trying it with Bluetooth, plug the phone in via USB cord instead.

A txt message notification? Yes, we had been getting that a lot. It won't swipe away, covers up 1/3 of the screen, and the only way I can clear it is to reboot the PCM. Super annoying. Typically happens when the car starts up and connects to the phone via bluetooth, and it "catches up" on txt...

When I picked mine up, they gave me the standard receipt paperwork that details what service was performed. It clearly listed the VR28.13 update as one of the items.

Gonna drive the car some today to see if the update they did yesterday changed anything. In the mean time I'm taking some steps to reduce some of the frustrating bugs. There's 2 of us that drive the car, thus frequent switching back and forth. Some of the quirks seem related to switching...

What noticeable improvements are you seeing?

We just picked our Macan up from the dealer from having the VR28.13 update done. No problems on the drive home, and it AC charges at home fine. It's on the EVSE in our garage right now.

I should have been making a list of bugs for the dealer, but I know it's kinda pointless as they're nearly all things that would take a software fix which they can't do. Just gotta hope Porsche sends them out. My Macan is at the dealer right now getting the one update that's come out. I read...
