Sudden Range Drop at 80% Charge in Macan 4S

[Rocketair]

I brought my car in on Friday, no info back yet...

FYI that I heard back from the dealer, and they said they had to order a new "control module" and gave a mid September date as the earliest it would be delivered... pretty frustrating, on the time it will take (and the fact this is one month in...)

Do they have evidence the module was defective or are they just replacing random parts?
Anyway, it sounds like you will be on lemon law territory if they don't fix it properly.

My question exactly - and they said "Porsche wouldn't approve replacing the part if it wasn't confirmed as needed by the diagnostics" and after my follow up of is this a known issue or is this step one in the troubleshooting it was "there can always be more work after this" - pretty much as expected...

im also facing something similar where the math would result in about 235 miles at 100% despite driving fairly conservatively over the past week (4S, <2000 miles). Keeping my eyes out for updates on this, and hope the module replacement helps, though I reserve my doubts unless they provide more information on how that would cause a range estimation to drop so much.

In July my car was on the driveway for 10 days and went from 60 to 51% SoC
Then was parked up for 14 days in August and went from 68 to 55% SoC
Any time I leave it for a day or two it is always 1 or 2% lower

So it does look like it consumes about 1% (or very slightly under) a day while parked up.

Also the Satnav is a complete basket case and can't estimate arrival SoC with anything close to accuracy. Last weekend it said I'd arrive at a charger at 5% despite being at 17% and only being a mile or so from the charger - completely nuts.

How many others are seeing this type of behavior?
