Had Macan ev turbo since October has 14k miles. Things were great so far Had minor software glitches that resolved after a long night being locked and off.
Today for fist time my manual charging door did not open for me to charge the car. Nor did the right side charging door. I hope it is a glitch like the other glitches i had that a soft reset would resolve. Has anyone had a similar problem with manual charging door not opening?

My left manual port sometimes remains open even if I close the car. I will have checked when I take the car for the update (or first service....)

I have had the same issue a couple of times with the driver’s side port. I have also had a similar issue with the trunk not opening.

Took it to dealer a tech tried to diagnose and troubleshoot but no luck had to leave it there and of course they didn’t offer a loaner since it was a walk in. Had to uber to borrow parents car. Will see how long that endeavor will take!!! I guess first ever serious issue with the car since October and driving it for more than 14k !!!

It has happened to me and it was accompanied with a yellow "Charging ports Impaired. Service required" warning.
It went away on its own after locking/unlocking.
The funny thing is that I intentionally chose the manual ports to reduce risk of such problems...

You are yoking, had problems with the electric charging cover (among other issues) so car eventually went back. Reordered with manual doors to be on the safe side. Can't believe this.

I love this car, almost a year in.

I had an issue with one of the port doors not showing as closed, which prevents opening the other one.

Take it in to the dealer - they should be able to prefer a replacement for the fault port.
