interestingly my installer advice was “be careful with following their advice as your Wallbox will be out of warranty” … I’m not suggesting there’s anything malicious with their support more a case of a throwaway commodity product approach when they get a bit puzzled!
Meanwhile my Taycan charges...
Wish you luck … my approach to Wallbox 3mth ago ended in “nought’ … they offered a special price to buy a replacement after 7-10 days of experiments, updates, resets, etc.
We now manually set up direct charge around 22.30/23.00 any evening the Macan needs charge and switch the car to direct...
My Firmware was updated when this problem originated … no improvement to allow timed charging schedules so only “direct” plug in possible and hence less scope to charge at low overnight rates unless I want to get outta bed 12.30/01.00am to plug the Wallbox Pulsar plus to Macan 🤯
many thanks … I just checked my current software edition and it’s listed as per the attached (a very very different software update log … my Pulsar plus is installed since July 2020 when I got my first Taycan and it’s worked reliably with all 3 (inc current) Taycans but red lights the Macan...
Problem persists for Macan 4 … Wallbox refuses to work where we plug in and await the timing profile in the car to control a charge for a later timed period - however allow “direct charging” and there’s no issue.
(same charger used for my Taycans in latest J2 and delayed charging works fine -...
Set your preferred charge to 80% or at most 85% as a standard (using above this occasionally if really needing higher charge/mileage) and relax and let this range concern all settle as you enjoy the car.
I have a new Taycan 4S with performance plus battery and also a Macan 4 … they both show...
I’ve written to Wallbox again about my issue - note with care and presetting car to direct charge I can get the pulsar plus charging the Macan but it took 3 attempts resetting to get it to charge directly tonight (i think the reset of the charger needs to have the charger completely powered off...
I’ve standard factory brake set up on my wife’s Macan 4 and even after three (2020, 2022, and 2024 Taycan 4S/Turbo & ST) the Macan 4 brakes are far and away the best I’ve experienced on a Porsche EV #justsayin
Struggling to get charging profiles (for lower overnight tariff) on new Macan 4 being accepted by my Wallbox Pulsar Plus.
Never had an issue with my Taycan (3 different models) - using same charger with programming for later evening charging profiles dictated by Porsche PCM.
Presently I plug in...
Picked up our Macan 4 Ice Grey metallic with red / black leather yesterday.
great car - reconfig of buttons on remote has me popping the bonnet too much though (instead of unlocking the car!) bonnet goes fully open now - no safety catch stage so adds to the embarrassment ☺️
Passenger seat belt...
I’ve bought 3 Taycans and this Macan and all from dealers (Scotland & Yorkshire) outside my region (better prices for the new car/s and better trade in values … )
I’d be surprised if this changes because my custom is appreciated and my loyalty is recognised & reflected in all aspects of the deals.
My Silver Macan 4 (burgundy red leather) is ready for collection : registered and PDI’d … will collect it next Friday and enjoy the drive home to Northern Ireland.
That’s hugely frustrating and not too commercially savvy of the dealer … they’ll have the car booked to be paid in qtr ending 30/9/24 … their dealer launch date is clearly the constraint given my car is due into dealer 27/9/24 and it’s available as a September handover and invoice!
(Maybe, like...
I chased for an update yesterday which originally had been forecast in June to be for end Sept.
I posted here 3 weeks ago that there’d be update issues and launch in U.K. was earliest mid Oct with early Nov the new delivery date for my Macan 4.
last week I chased for latest and it had moved to...
yeah - built in May / June and parked up in Leipzig compound held back because Porsche didn’t want Macan release & demos in showrooms before September after which delivery of orders can commence - and then this latest saga under title of “2 hour software upgrade needed” … you can imagine the...
I hope you’re right - but I’ll be surprised - our car, built from mid June and parked up in a compound is delayed from mid Sept to early Nov (as per dealer advice today 3/9/24)
my wife’s Macan (ordered end Jan and confirmed as built and parked up Leipzig from mid June was scheduled for mid Sept delivery and it will now be Nov … dealer says their demos will be late Sept and into mid Oct - all scope for demos on road before mid Oct seem to be strictly on hold (sneak peak...
