I just received my Macan 4S couple of days back. It was transported from a dealership in South US. When it was being loaded, I was sent a video by the dealeship at load time and the car was absolutely fine. When it got unloaded from the truck here - I am seeing this error with electrical parking brake, I also see another warning light on the dash which looks like forward collision warning isn't working. I tried to give it couple of days and charging sessions to see if the error goes away - but no luck. Has anybody seen this before? I have setup an appointment with local Porsche dealership but I am worried about what might have happened with the car. It drives normally!

Wanted to provide an update and close the thread for anyone seeing this in future. The issue here was that with all the jumping on the trailer, the sensors needed a re-formatting. The dealer was able to fix it within couple of hours and all errors are gone! So, if you are buying out-of-state and having it delivered to you, highly likely that you would need a dealership visit.

just to add,..the collision warning is generally something on when you start the car, and goes off after you get up to speed...

Sorry TeslaHater you had that issue; glad you dealer was able to fix it. Mine was also tractor-trailer enclosed transporter moved (across the entire country), but I have not had the problem yours did. I notice that when it was being unloaded that the extended ramp extension made its egress angle very flat. Wonder it that made the difference?

these issues/warnings should have been removed/resolved before taking delivery....
did you guys get the car the same day it arrived at the dealer?
They are supposed to have a process they follow once the car arrives at the dealer to check things...
