    New software version coming week 36 of 2025

    nobody outside of VW/Rivain knows, but I would suggest with $5 billion spent they may consider it a group wide investment - the first project was an Audi Q6…I think it will not be limited to scout. I would suggest it will be consider project by project with a goal of unifying on a common...

    New software version coming week 36 of 2025

    this is not necessarily true - and actually flys in the face of industry experience with agile software management - what you say "can be true" - but is not necessarily true… crappy software management = crappy softwarse excellent software management = excellent software the frequency has...

    Charging at Tesla Destination Charger... Not quite working. Anyone experience this?

    desitination chargers are not app based - they are just normal residential charger that you plug in - no account required/necessary or supported if plugging it in doesn't work - then there is nothing else to do.

    Article: Macan EV is an out-of-the-gate sales success

    this was a better effort - but I have no intention of given up my day job - but this one I authored was better than my more recent attempt - enjoy or not! https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/porsche-press-release-an-alternate-and-bold-vision-for-fast-charging-future%E2%80%A6.17692/

    Supercharger to CCS adaptors

    yeah I know - more and more every month - but still a fraction of the "entire" network…but yeah in some regions Magicdocks effectively make supercharging "agreement free" and you don't even need an adapter - they provide it for you!! but for example there was not a single MagicDock supercharger...

    Off-roading, post your pics

    it's still unclear to me as to the suitability of the Macan for off road usage - and if the battery tray is more "dent proof" - given Porsche's history with the Taycan and truly minor damage to the battery tray - I'm not sure I'd risk getting a minor dent followed by a $72k repair bill to...

    Phone as Key is coming - found option called ‘Digital key’ in PCM

    with "baseline" being existing FOB's and their wireless design/communication/protocols - it's hard to imagine iOS/Andriod being "less" secure than any existing physical FOB's also asking what is or is not secure with out identifying the "attack vector" you're defending against is also a bit of...

    Charging at Tesla Destination Charger... Not quite working. Anyone experience this?

    if you can't charge at Tesla destiantion and EA chargers I'm thinking you need to have the car inspected by dealer - seems to have problems with the vehicle…might need some warranty work.

    Charging at Tesla Destination Charger... Not quite working. Anyone experience this?

    but the red button on the car means "fail" - try direct charging to see if it "jsut works"

    [Poll] - Porsche charging specification lie? Macan is not allowing 11 kW max charge rate - capped at 40 amps? 9.6 kW max rate.

    I'm not a fan - only the lawyers make out with those in my opinion - and this issue is actually small potatoes but in my mind it's a proxy for does Porsche care about EV's enough to get it "right"… for an engineeering centric company renowned for getting the details right - this particular...

    [Poll] - Porsche charging specification lie? Macan is not allowing 11 kW max charge rate - capped at 40 amps? 9.6 kW max rate.

    the real issue is figuring what "the truth" is is it really 9.6 kW hardware limited is it different is it 11 kW did porsche make a mistake with software do they internally know it's a mistake can they fix it will they fix it do they care the truth of this situation is only known by a few...

    [Poll] - Porsche charging specification lie? Macan is not allowing 11 kW max charge rate - capped at 40 amps? 9.6 kW max rate.

    Porsche's website now lists 2025 Macan as having a 9.6 kW onboard charger - this matches the specs of the Audi Q6 so at least they are no longer lying - I still find it hard to believe the rest of tghe world is 11 kW and the North American charger is 9.6 kW - and also their other EVs/Hybfrids...

    Charging at Tesla Destination Charger... Not quite working. Anyone experience this?

    I charge everyday with one of those chargers - but sometimes there are just hic ups try resetting the Tesla charger if you can - if that doesn't work it's probably nothing you're doing wrong and it's jsut that charger for some reason.

    Charging at Tesla Destination Charger... Not quite working. Anyone experience this?

    the Tesla charger/EVSE might be set to Tesla only…or vin restricted - or just that one doesn't work

    [Poll] - Porsche charging specification lie? Macan is not allowing 11 kW max charge rate - capped at 40 amps? 9.6 kW max rate.

    typically the car ignores voltage and managed amps/current…both the PMCC and the Tesla Gen3 Wall charger show "amps flowing through" it during charge session - and 40.7 seems to be the value my Macan pulls…which is odd - it should only pull 40 amps or less when it's talking to the PMCC since...

    [Poll] - Porsche charging specification lie? Macan is not allowing 11 kW max charge rate - capped at 40 amps? 9.6 kW max rate.

    EVSE's don't work that way - they report the amps they can provide - there is no such thing as a "smart" EVSE - just the J-1772 protocol also the EVSE do not control charging - the vehicle does - the macan is in complete control of the charging process - even the amount of current it draws from...
