I love the chalk. It makes the interior so much brighter. Then again, I wouldn't pick it back when the kids were 7 ... My wife once spilled a bunch of fruit juice on the side of the seats; it did wipe off pretty easily.

The theory "metallic paint interferes with radar" is at the same time easy to dismiss, but also actually plausible... FWIW, I haven't noticed blind spot problems (although it's super conservative when I want to change lane into a tight-as-always gap on California freeways) and I don't have a...

You can configure which of the lift heights it uses for each mode in ... one of those panels :-) Anyway, I made off-road go to lift level II. Might as well!

But did you get underglow?

I got the same changes just recently, and, surprisingly, it fixed all of my current concerns! - compass and elevation is now displayed in the instrument cluster, even while using android auto navigation - detects that I'm in a smart lift zone, even on start-up after long sleep - remote heating...

This happened on Android a month ago, and just recently got fixed, so the next version of google maps on iOS will presumably also fix it for you. Just gotta wait for Apple to approve the next version ...

They seem to ship once a month, and the previous month broke it, and this month fixed it.

The FitCamX instruction video YouTube for the Macan EV is pretty good.

Plug and Charge exists, but you have to have some billing relationship with the network, and there are many different networks available. Porsche's attempt at value-add is to set up relationships with multiple networks (Electrify America, Chargepoint, Tesla) so you can go to any of them without...

This is likely dew/fog on a sensor, and as you drive it clears itself. Happens on mine too on cold moist mornings.

Set the HUD to show charge/discharge around the speed. The navigation goes on the right of that, and the map fills the lower display. If you didn't get the HUD, not sure there's much you can do :-(

A 12V Li battery is only $100 more than a Pb battery at wholesale. And it lasts much longer (life of the car, probably) and weighs less. I'm sad to learn it doesn't have it! Whenever I replace 12V batteries in other cars, I buy a Li battery the same size online and then never have to do it again.

If an engine needs oil and spark plugs and belts then it needs more service, for sure!

That's surprising and a little sad. The battery will perform better at 25C, to the point where some vehicles will spend some energy heating the battery to get there. I'm surprised Porsche doesn't do this :-( And happy about the California weather. (Although today it's almost 28C! In March...

I grew up in Stockholm! But, yeah, California is nice. I recommend it! The battery does heat up when you use it, though. There's a reason we have liquid cooling in the battery pack... When you need to fast charge, you've been driving for three hours already. Also, when charging fast, the...

Battery pre-heat for charging isn't all that important. I haven't seen a meaningful difference in charge rate -- the "capacity sharing" of EA stations is a big charge speed killer, by comparison.

The car auto-lowers when you go faster than some speed (I want to say 50 mph or so?) It also goes lower in sport, and higher in offroad or "smart lift location" mode. That's what this icon shows. It also blinks with little arrows inside the car, as it adjusts to a new mode.

Modern phones are pretty efficient, I keep the phone in my pocket, use wireless android auto, and it's not particularly warm. Also, the wireless charging shelf in the console has a little bit of A/C blowing on it, so it also keeps the phone cool if I need to charge. Now that wireless android...

That looks like a flipped-layout bug! Your flag says US though, so why is the menu bar on the right? Can you swipe right from the left edge of the screen (or swipe left from the right edge) to back out?

Are you in a heated garage now? It might have frozen, and might come back after thawing a bit? Just guessing ... never seen it myself.
