No drop in battery % after a week on the driveway

[TomekGnomek]

Hi, I've left my new Macan for almost a week on the driveway with 7-15 C outside and went for a short vacation.
I'm happy to report that battery was just as I left it @69%, not even 1% drop.
The car was obviously not connected to power source.
This is good, my previous experience with Tesla was different.

Great news since I will left my Macan at the airport parking next January for 20 days. I haven’t had any problem with my Tesla (lost 2% on 20 days) too.

a full week?
cuz there's supposed to be a purposeful discharge of the battery after 4 idle days

Only under some circumstances (hot temperatures for example) and it’s not been verified yet.

Yes, didn't notice anything like that.
I have the "battery protection" option turned on.
Outside temp was ~10C and SOC was 69% so perhaps there was no need for discharge.

This is how it works on the Taycan, however, as soon as I start driving, the SoC drops fast and then becoming stable, so to me standing for a week uses the battery but does not report it until 15 minutes into the drive. I wonder if it works the same on the Macan EV.

I left my car parked underground parking garage for 10 days, lost 1% only, Porsche is really good managing battery phantom drainage.

The key to minimizing battery drain is to keep the keys away from the vehicle, and to not check the car's status in the My Porsche app. That way it can enter a deep sleep.
