Satisfaction survey - Poll for current Macan EV owners only

[SuperH]

No, its not a matter of camera calibration, this is an issue that effects all UK Macan EVs. The software isn't capable of correctly detecting UK speed limit signs. It will correctly identify some, but by no means all of the limits where the sign gives the number in miles per hour and it fails to identify and interpret 100% of the national speed limit signs the car passes.

@SuperH, I apologise for not letting you know sooner, but I have been advised by the Porsche Centre dealing with my car that Porsche are well aware of this issue and are urgently trying to resolve it. The reason for my silence up until now is that they have yet to resolve a multitude of other software issues with my car, which is back with them as I type.

No apology needed - it’s not your job to act on Porsche’s behalf, so thank you for passing on the info I think their to do list is somewhat overflowing with your issues and a multitude of others. I’ve not bothered logging it with my dealer until I hear (most likely from this forum) that a fix has been deployed.

I collect my car on Saturday - it has InnoDrive so I’m sure I’ll have the same issues. I hope that as in my Lexus you can permanently turn off the link to speed limits and then InnoDrive will function fine so not automatically obey limits.

I haven’t trusted any speed limit systems in my last 3 cars - I found adrenalin Is brown when some time ago I was in a Merc on a dual carriageway in a clear outside lane doing 70+ and it fiercely hit the brakes with a ‘full on Audi’ close behind me. It was caused by me overtaking a French lorry which had 50 roundals on the mud flaps ! Since then I have no confidence in the automated speed control systems and with nobody cutting back foliage a lot of signs are obscured, so I think full autonomous driving in the UK is for the birds.

The only issue I have encountered is a unreliable CarPlay connection. It’ll work fine one day and refuse to work the next.

I’m still digging into that.

Did you connect your car to your home WiFi network?
That tends to mess up the CarPlay connection.

No, I have not. Thanks for the suggestion.

The problem happens at different locations, so I don't think that connecting to my home Wifi is a factor. I've changed the Wifi settings for the car's hotspot to not use a rotating MAC address, I'm hoping that this will make things more stable.

I haven’t cast my vote because the questions are missing scenarios “in between”, where I’m happy with my 4S but not happy that some functions aren’t working (yet).

I took delivery of my 4S on Friday after a 10 days of the dealer’s struggle with software updates. Everything was working supposedly fine on Friday except for remote access through the My Porsche app. The dealer promised It “may cure itself up” in a few days.

On Monday they received an email from Germany with steps to follow to enable the remote access, and so they took my 4S away from me and gave me a brand new white 4 to drive in the interim. 24 h later and I haven’t heard from the dealer. Things aren’t looking that simple it would appear.

So I’m happy in principle but unhappy that it’s not working 100% … to be honest it’s rather frustrating and disappointing.

this washer aim i'm seeing ppl talk about now. I think the jets are aimed relatively high because when you're at speed, it wont just hit the bottom of the screen...

Has any one successfully gotten their washer jets adjusted?
