Macan EV Software Update delaying delivery!

[byebye]

Whatever the explanation, in real life Porsche is unable to OTA update any Macan EV at the moment....
It's a fact.

Having so many brand new cars with unknown problems that require specific investigations is well … a total failure (Q6 is no different)

That is not true. The Macan EV supports OTAs. The Taycan was updated in Aug of 2023 to support OTAs and the Macan EV has from day one.

But if you have a car with an unknown issue, you need to understand what the issue is, (hardware or software?) If software, figure what the software problem is, make the software fix, then update the car. I am guessing a tech could probably do an update to the current latest and see if that fixes it before further diagnosing the problem.

some subset of the Macan supports OTA's but the vehicle is not fully OTA capable - there are/will-be updates that require a dealer visit and hardwired software side load…

you are simply wrong on this assertion - and the Taycan is still not an OTA vehicle - while some subset is OTA it's not enough to avoid dealer visits for software updates.

Just read this part of one of the latest recall for MacanEV and you understand that Macan is not IRL OTA capable, and worse, dealership can only have one Porsche usb memory to do the updates… So if they have 2 Macan, they can’t do the job on both at the same time…
Amazing, disturbing… stupid?
