    Software Updated - Collision Alert System Down?

    Thanks. I definitely will not do it while driving. I also read that pressing the P (park) button also acts like an emergency parking brake. Not clear what the difference is then between the two functions. Do I want to have the "" illuminated in my dashboard? Apparently that means "The...

    Software Updated - Collision Alert System Down?

    Just went out to the car... Geez, could they make it any more incomprehensible. 1) you have to go to a buried link in the vehicle assistance systems page titled "additional settings," to find where to turn the emergency braking system on. 2) you then have to press the little gear button on...

    Software Updated - Collision Alert System Down?

    are you saying the dealer can reverse the update? I'd never heard that. ironically for me, I think the update is meant to improved the collision mitigation systems, perhaps reduce false positives. But gosh - i'm pretty sure it is not working for me now. Which is disturbing. It's an...

    Software Updated - Collision Alert System Down?

    Hi all. I just had the software update performed. To VR28.13. I'm worried the Collision alert system could be down. And who knows about automatic braking. I had 1-2 incidents I thought should have triggered a warning. And I've tried to safely test the system - which is not all that easy...

    Going in For Recall Service - any thoughts?

    Service advisor (who ironically used to work on my iPace at Santa Monica Jag-LR) did say there is a chance it will help with the low speed shifting precision (or thunking) issues. I'm driving a gas macan loaner. I'm sorry ICE fans... no where near as good a car as the EV. So much turbo lag...

    Going in For Recall Service - any thoughts?

    Going in For Recall Service - any thoughts?

    That's cool. Good to hear. I am going to mention to the dealer about the car not going into gear consistently. Thanks PO. See you in town! I"m a base car but copper ruby. Lucky you with the Turbo!

    Going in For Recall Service - any thoughts?

    Hi Wivenhoe. Thanks for the warning. gosh that’s a bummer. Will cross fingers for a clean upgrade here and hope yours resolves soon. “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” comes to mind.

    Going in For Recall Service - any thoughts?

    Penny for your thoughts. I'm going in tomorrow for my first service on my Macan EV. They called me to schedule it. Here is what they are planning to do. Other than some random sensor failures that cleared themselves, I haven't had much go wrong with the car. Knock on wood. Is there...

    Successful Plug and Charge at new Tesla station

    Helpful thanks. Sounds like if I have plug and charge set up for EA, with a PCS account set up, I might just be able to pull up to Tesla and start charging. Will give it a swing! There is one in my neighborhood. That would be great. I generally do not plan to use TSLA but good to have as a...

    Successful Plug and Charge at new Tesla station

    Cool. Good to hear. What did you have to do to make plug and charge happen? Did you download the Tesla App and create an account with a credit card on file? Or did you have to do anything with the porsche app to tee it up for plug and charge. Plug and charge is such a game changer for me...

    Comfort Vs Sports seats

    It just makes me laugh that the 14 way seats have massage and the 18 way seats do not. People who drive sporty couldn’t use a little massage every now and then?? Cmon Porsche. I have 18 way seats and would probably give them up for the massage feature. But please, please, if you can, go sit...

    Electric Range

    Hopefully spring warms up soon for you. I have a base, so not apple to apples. And I'm in CA. Drove mostly freeway LA to San Diego two weeks ago, 70 degrees, and got 280-300 miles. Given the amount of hwy driving 70-80 mph, I was pleased. In town I could probably do 310-320 if 100%.

    Heated steering wheel too hot

    perhaps it is overheating. you should have the dealer check it out. they could probably test it somehow. Temperature might be out of range.

    2026 Software Update via Dealer - What does it do exactly?

    This has probably been posted many time (or not) but I found this on the NHTSA website, here: https://share.google/J5sLtGpW1T8KqZQXg seems to be some summary of the WSJ0 campaign. I didn't look through it. fyi.

    Edmunds 1 Year Ownership Test of Their Macan 4 EV

    I also find this Edmunds review oddly negative. Didn’t they have it ranked as the number two or three lux EV SUV just a year ago. And now they’re obsessed with the $200 rear windshield wiper and 360 camera?? Didn’t the order the car? Check a couple boxes. My Macan is such an incredible...

    Software updates - why is Porsche so far behind.......?

    Definitely can't believe everything you read on the internets, alas, according to AI... The Rivian-Volkswagen (VW) deal is widely expected to benefit Porsche AG by providing access to Rivian's advanced and cost-effective electrical architecture and software, a critical component that VW's...

    Assistance Systems Error - Speed Limit Display (warning message)

    I’ve had my macan EV for a month. In addition to the driver assist warning I also today had a warning about the SOS system and a warning about the airbag. The airbag warning says to take it to the dealer. It was raining cats and dogs today here in Los Angeles. Has anyone else had the airbag warning?
