Will all macan get the GTS PCM update that gives you charging speed based on the battery's temp?

[skee9400]

Hi guys, i've seen on a lot of Macan gts reviews that the PCM is a little different and espacially with the SoC and charging speed estimation before plug in. I <ould love to have that on my 4S . Any idea if thats supposed to be added ?

If the GTS is a 2026 model, and your 4S is a 2025, the hardware is a bit different and Porsche has no plans to port it to older hardware.

That's really a shame, i bought my 4S last december , I doubt that the 4S's PCM cannot have the expected charging speed fonctionality but i guess they have to create a product difference among all different models

My MY26 Turbo has it
But a friends MY25 Turbo doesn’t and he’s had the update
So I don’t think you will

Which is a shame

I asked Porsche (the manufacturer, not my dealer) about it and they confirmed that older model years will not receive the „new“ software from the 26 model year. We will only receive bugfixes (if any) going forward. That means explicitly no charging planner improvements, no GUI improvements, no charging speed, no SoH display and no Digital Key. You will have to buy a new MY26 for that.

They said the new models run on a new hardware cluster and it is common practice in the industry that older years don’t receive new software. They must have never heard of Tesla or BMW.

This is not about 4S vs GTS. All MY26 cars (even base models) receive the new features, just not older cars.

Personally I am quite disappointed by that, I was expecting OTA Updates when I bought the car. I should have known from the Taycan…
