    Edmunds 1 Year Ownership Test of Their Macan 4 EV

    I watched this video earlier today. They were not overly positive I must say. Though the biggest rants were that they didn’t have a rear wiper and there wasn’t a 360 camera. Admittedly, these are options, not base, but they are easily solved by clicking a few more boxes before placing the order...

    The Journey of Stealth 2.0

    Thanks for the feedback. I am well aware of the ability to go though tires. šŸ˜Ž FYI I did update my initial post with my a missing section: Accessories: Luggage compartment liner - Allows utility of varying dirty stuff Front luggage compartment liner - Allows utility of varying dirty stuff...

    Where do I put the front license plate on my ‘26 Macan 4S?

    California allowed the sticker versions of the front license plate plates in 2022, you can check if your state is allowing it from the website listed in this article. https://sfstandard.com/2023/12/18/california-front-license-plate-wraps-dmv/ Sadly, it looks like Texas does not allow a sticker...

    The Journey of Stealth 2.0

    I hope to use this thread to document the journeys of Stealth 2.0. My first Stealth was a 2020 Taycan 4S in Volcano Gray/Bordeaux Red that I picked up at PECLA on November 11, 2020. It was a tremendous experience and gave me a lot of joy for nearly 6 years and over 100,000 miles. You can read...

    Data Logging the 12v Battery

    I assume you’re using some kind of voltage divider to get to the ADC and put in the range? You could put a small RC filter on that to try to smooth out the noise introduced by your step down unit.

    Macan EV a bit small for our dog?

    The Cayenne EV should be coming to US in 2026. Better room there and the base is only about $20k more and of the specs are so much better. 350mi Expected EPA and 400kW charging. That all being said I have an order in for a 2026 Macan 4. šŸ˜‰

    Data Logging the 12v Battery

    Love the ingenuity. Thanks for sharing. Curious, if you also put an oscilloscope on the 12 V supply to see if it was as noisy as your processor shows. Wasn’t sure if that was artifacts from the A2D converter. A nice test would be to put some kind of a reasonable 12 V load on the accessory...

    MY2026 Macan Delivery dates

    Congratulations on your black beauty. I was curious if you optioned Drive Assist (was InnoDrive in MY24&MY25)? I was curious if the camera would be used to perhaps allow hands-free steering as long as it sees your eyes on the road. :rock: But probably it’s just to nag you if it’s sees your eyes...

    Regen and acceleration circle not working

    I had various camera outages where it just shows the red camera symbol in the park assist display. I had the full surround cameras and sometimes I was missing just a rear or sometimes the two sides or sometimes all four. It took several visits and replacing the harnesses and control units, but...

    Regen and acceleration circle not working

    @CandianPorsche83 Sigh, I am sorry you are experiencing these issues. The power meter sounds like SW for sure; however, the camera issue can be HW. My 2020 Taycan had several camera issues… I was really hoping Porsche had worked through them by now.

    Regen and acceleration circle not working

    Can you maybe attach a photo of the console? I assume you are well aware of the fact that there are alternate formats for the center tube display that don’t have the green blue augmentation. At least that was the case for the Taycan.

    MY2026 Macan Delivery dates

    I ordered my 2026 Macan 4 EV late October. It has a Jan 5 start of build date and a delivery range from mid February to April 1st (hopefully not an omen). Coming from a Taycan 4S I know it’s not nearly as punchy or confidence inspiring on twisty roads but I had a long term loaner and it had...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    @chrisk regarding your 5% loss. I am wondering if you had the vehicle at a fairly high SoC or it was pretty hot on that day. Watching the Out of Spec video reminded me of the somewhat unique feature of the vehicle. It will self discharge to save the battery if it is left at a high state of...

    Manual DC-flap doesn’t open - Any ideas?

    I would bet the issue has to do with the interlock mechanism that locks one charge port door after the other one is opened. Also it locks both charge port doors when the vehicle is locked. I might suggest pushing on the charge port door firmly, but not too hard while locking and unlocking the...

    [anti-FUD] -Porsche Digital Key overview - from Porsche!!

    Well I cannot comment on Porsche’s feelings on early adopters, but I can say that I appreciate you @MatC21 ! I did spec the ā€œDigital Keyā€ option on my 2026 Macan 4 that I ordered in October. The $280 option was not enough though, I chose the $1950 option ā€œ3D Surround View and Porsche Digital...

    Preconditioning & charging planner

    I know folks in this forum as well as many YouTube videos have people looking for a manual preconditioning button. Porsche in its wisdom has chosen, not to provide such a button and I believe they are completely correct in this. To provide a useful manual, preconditioning button would require a...

    Preconditioning & charging planner

    Though it’s true, you cannot set the charging parameters for the stop if it’s your final destination in the traditional way. What you would do is go to the gear icon and select minimum charge at destination and set it to a high value say 80% then it would make that final stop be a charging stop...

    Preconditioning & charging planner

    I think the statement is more of the charging planner needs to be enabled in order to get the preconditioning. Also, it has to be aware that you would want to charge there. On some YouTube videos, I see people navigate directly to a charging station, this won’t necessarily do any preconditioning...

    90 days later - What I would have changed in my config (2025 Macan 4S EV)

    The passenger screen is usable for all added Android applications like weather etc, not just YouTube. Also I had it on my Taycan and my wife used it frequently to lookup other navigation points and add to route. You are able to type on that screen while in motion. I think it’s a must have if you...
