I apologize, I don’t know EA IRL. if they don’t work at 350 kWh / 800v, so there are almost useless when you want top Charging speed with your macan…
Obviously, during your trip so far, 800v architecture in a car is useless.

In Europe, 350 kWh/800v exist and work, meaning it’s a great value compared to 400v Tesla SuC…

Mall near me has 6 350 Kw EA stations... I can't imagine they're all broken...

Plenty of 350s work, they're just more finicky than 150s so it's more common to see them broken. But when they work they're glorious.

faith restored! car is a range beast today!! we are making good time and not holding back and getting these numbers - so imagine what it could do if we behaved ourselves?

Impressive numbers: 20,6kWh/100km at an average speed of 125.5 km/h

Not bad for a Turbo

There is hope

three new issues:

1. it appears North American Macan's are capped at 40 amp charge rate - vs the 11 kW we're promised in specifications (48 amps) - why is porsche capping the charge rate at 9.6 kW or less? Is it hardware or software limit - and will it be relaxed/unlocked with a future update to match published specifications.
2. charge port doors can open on their own in automated car washes - one report from Canada - and I personally had it happen with both ports open for me.
3. Macan appears to pull slightly more amps than the reported maximum for an EVSE - this could cause intermittent charging faults depending on how tolerant the EVSE is regarding the overage - in some cases it may be problematic in terms of electrical load on the power source circuit - Macan should never pull more amps than allowed by the EVSE

Has anyone noticed a high-pitched buzzing sound when the headlights are on? I don’t know if that’s normal or if it’s just my car. When I’m not listening to any music, it annoys me. I parked the car and manually turned the headlights off, and it stops.

is coming through the speakers ?
i don't how one would resolve that, but i think it's not uncommon in many cars to have high draw items mess with other things in the car

It’s not coming from the speakers, it’s coming from the front of the car, probably where the power supply for the headlights is. I also noticed that when I turn on the high beams this noise stops.

About 1600 miles and 6 weeks in (Macan 4--still love the car). I've twice had Driver Assistance warnings that disabled the ACC (I do not have Innodrive) but they were both very short lived and cleared themselves.

Tuesday, after driving about 20 miles and parking (ambient a little below freezing), when I got back in the car, I got rotating warnings in the right hand tube going through every assistance system (traffic sign, ACC, collision avoidance, auto high beams; everything you can name); they all said OK to drive. The warnings continued to rotate, until I realized I could press the cancel button repeatedly until they all stopped. When I went to back up, the rear camera had lines through the cross traffic warning arrows on the screen. I mean, every assistance system that depends on the cameras, radar, sonar was down (but the cameras did still function). I drove home (car drove fine; I just had no ACC and no auto high beams, and presumably no collision warning). I had a whole bunch of yellow warning lights though (there's not enough room for them all--they rotated at the bottom of the IC.) I appreciated, at least, the fall through to normal high beams.

Anyway, I left it locked overnight. I've had nowhere to drive since then, and we've had more snow accumulation so I am not in a rush to take it out. But, yesterday I got in just to see what would show; just sitting there, without driving, I got no warnings except the speed limit sign warning was lit up yellow. I'll see what happens when I drive it next but still I think this is a reportable incident even if it clears completely.

Edit: 2 days later. Drove 45 miles with 2 stops, using ACC, just now. No warning lights at all; everything seems fine. Fingers crossed this was just a random infrequent event (but Porsche should still get a handle on it).

I just picked up my 4s today, and i drive home with no music. I noticed the same noise. Exactly the same. It's kinda like a white noise, high pitch electric hum, and it completely goes away when the high beams are switched on.

I noticed that the front passenger door started to close more difficult. Apon troubleshooting I can see that whenever I open one of the other three doors the glass lowers a little and upon closing it moves up again. The front passenger door doesn't do that anymore.

My guess is the car thinks the window is not all the way up when in fact it is.

Try resetting the window up position. With the door closed, press the window up button and keep it held for several seconds after the window is all the way up.

i think these rubber seals have to be broken in!!
all of my doors are pretty hard to close without a good positive push!
when my SA took me outside to view the car before we did the paperwork, 2 of the doors weren't closed, and I had to damn near slam them
