App remote heating work in your Porsche Macan Electric

FWIW, I also am experiencing the "pre-heat doesn't actually pre-heat the car anymore" problem since a couple of weeks. It's presumably some Porsche back-end/server-side problem?

I think seat heaters don't work well unless someone is sitting in it (the seat is mostly foam insulation, so little thermal mass and the leather is not a great heat conductor), so maybe they don't turn on because the wont do much until you sit in it. Just a guess.

Indeed. The seat heaters in my cars work exactly as was stated. The drivers side stays on between 'sessions' and the passenger's side goes off every time we get out of the car and it resets. I have never tried to turn them on remotely from the app. I suspect that's not possible but as I said, I have not needed to try it. My passengers just turn them on as needed.
