    2026 macan ev turbo ride heights

    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?

    Going in For Recall Service - any thoughts?

    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...

    New Google Maps Now Worth Using

    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 ...

    Been out of town / away from my Macan EV -- now that I'm back, THRILLED the HUD is again showing Google Maps!!

    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.

    Porsche Extending Charging Beyond My Free One Year

    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...

    Warning symbols on dash for first 5-10mins

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

    Macan EV driver display configuration is too rigid

    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 :-(

    Can you trickle charge the 12V battery of a 2025 Macan EV if it is not going to be used for several weeks?

    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.

    Macan 4 servicing in UK - why is the dealer hounding me.......?

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

    New Google Maps Now Worth Using

    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...

    New Google Maps Now Worth Using

    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...

    New Google Maps Now Worth Using

    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.

    Dash Icon

    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.

    New Google Maps Now Worth Using

    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...

    Icons overlapping make it hard / impossible to select or move back

    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?

    Front hood lock jammed

    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.

    Android Auto navigation suddenly not shown on HUD?

    Yup, they finally fixed it! This weekend, going to see if I can capture some of those flying pigs on camera :-)

    Radar Detector - Mirror Tap Install

    By "mirror tap" I assume you mean the rain sensor wiring harness that terminates right above the mirror, and that the FitCamX dashcam for example can plug straight into. Yes, I'm using this for my dashcam. Yes, the power turns off when the car is off. There are wiring harness plugs that fit as...
