I have a Tesla Tap mini. Highly recommend. Very good build quality. USA made, pricey but very good.

It is very fast and simple. Just snap it on. Nothing else to do. Search Amazon with TeslaTap Mini adapter and you can see it and also see the reviews. It is a very good solution. This is the smallest and best quality one I have ever seen. I have one.

It shouldn't require any configuration. The Tesla Universal Wall Connector has a 'compatible mode' option, but from what I've heard, the only time it's been necessary to enable this was with the Equinox EV. The 'charger' is essentially just a power dispenser, as the car's charging system is inside.

Audi loaned me an Alfa Romeo plug-in hybrid while my car was in for its 40k maintenance. I tested my Tesla Universal Wall Charger, and it worked perfectly without any configuration.

If I’m not mistaken, you can add InnoDrive after receiving your Macan EV. It just requires a payment to enable the feature.
According to the driver at PEC Atlanta, Innodrive requires some unique sensor hardware so it cannot be added via a software update after delivery.

Got to meet my baby in person. Exceeded my expectations in every single way (and that is without me driving it 😜). Noticable was the space and room in both driver seats and passenger seat behind it. I am a 5’11 and with the driver seat at my setting when I sat behind I had an inch or two before my knees touched the front seat.
seems they are waiting for some software updates. Hoping I can take delivery next week Friday. Can’t wait!!!!

So I owned a Model X raven and all the remarks about the software being superior, I just do not understand. Today I have an iX and it’s infotainment system is better in each and every way … Do you Guys talk about FSD? I had autopilot, which had phantom braking … but route planning was only in car and I prefer Apple Maps + HUD by far … is it the planning and charging, we have a very elaborate charging network in Belgium and France (can even use Tesla chargers) … so every time I read the Tesla software is superior, I just cannot understand it … maybe 5 years ago yes, route planning and battery conditioning were leading, but now 🤷‍♂️ No real 360 camera, no USS for parking, no radar so with low sun not even basic cruise control as the camera is blinded, no android auto or Apple CarPlay, automatic wipers that went crazy as they are using the camera and not sensor … No physical buttons for heating/seat heating, seat heating on homescreen which disappeared after an update. I could go on, but my iX drives perfect on ACC and keeps the lane perfect. Also it has rear cross traffic alert which is very handy when a reverse out of my driveway or parking spots … my Tesla never warned braked for passing rear traffic.

Yes the Tesla full self drive is the highlight or what makes the Tesla experience unique. However that said everything you mentioned about Tesla problems and drawbacks I agree with 100%. the convenience and ease of use of the Tesla software And interface are remarkable. It is kind of the iPhone of cars.
