Yes, adjusted by dealer on both sides. Now they are… not perfect, but acceptable.

Took delivery of 2 x 4S's earlier this month. Each has ill-fitting charge ports on both sides. Dealership says they are aware of the issue and it seems to affect most Macan EV's to a lesser or greater extent. They are unaware if Porsche are considering a fix or replacement. Very poor from Porsche if not! I wonder if the powered ports will be offered 'retro-fitable' at a cost?!

I noticed on my manual doors that the fit is different every time I close them. It is like the metal door is held to the hinge plate by a soft gasket or material. I can apply a little pressure here and there to improve the alignment . The metal curvature itself is OK, not perfect. But I don't notice it with a casual look.

Before and after a visit to the service center. Car was in for three weeks due to a myriad of software problems. Better, but still not flush imo. Other side is fine.

What did they specifically do to improve the flap in your before and after photos?

We pointed this out in the showroom on collection but sharing a picture taken today. To me, this seems really poor for a £80k car.
Keen to hear if anyone with manual covers has a similar problem or if our's is a one-off?

Thanks in advance!

Hi - Yes Dealers have had multiple reports which they have raised with Porsche AG - Porsche UK are unable to assist. They have raised a case with AG in order to obtain a fix - We reckon its a problem with the clip structure under the plastic colour panel specifically on the manual version - BTW my car is the Turbo version so 104K - Not good enough to have passed QA or PDI had to quote the Consumer protection act
