You cannot get bored with this car!

[chrisk]

I believe my car breaks the record of the most warnings, I got 13-14 different assist system issues all at once and none of the assist systems working until lock and wait 5 mins.
Last car where all assist systems gave up (multiple times) was my 2020 Taycan. I cannot believe that Porsche cannot fix these issues after so many years so I can only assume the car does it on purpose to make itself less boring and sharpen your driving skills by reducing the reliance on blind spot monitor and other assist systems It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Don't assume that it is something normal, like other people on the forum did. These are real issues on the car and if they keep coming back I recommend you contacting the dealer. This isn't acceptable more than once.

This type of false positive plagued the Taycan for many owners and given that car is now 5 years old it is reasonable for folk who have experienced this not to expect on the Macan EV given the cross-platform sharing of components and by now a certain degree of maturity.

I endured this with both my Taycans over 4 years and had to laugh when I had two Macan EVs on extended loan that they too demonstrated the same traits.

Compare that to my ICE Macan of 3 years now and my 992 of 5 months and not a single sensor or software glitch - noting that several of the sensor based systems are similar across the model lines.

I can only assume that a car dependent primarily on software and a non homogenised set of vendors and standards is not Porsche's A game when it comes to EVs currently.

Some of my erros have been caused by dirt on the front sensor. After washing off some mud stuck on the front sensor, the issue was solved. With that said, I have also had some errors including not being able to start/drive the car. I stepped out of the car, locked it, waited 10 minutes and then the problem resolved.

What's going on with your car ...You have to look on it, there must be a software issue with your car that need to be addressed. I Never had any of these warnings..

I’ve seen a variety of different warnings like this. I would say this happens maybe two times a month. I’ve recently had the update to fix the camera recall and so far no issues, but not enough time to really say for sure.

If the issues are persistent however, the dealer should definitely be involved.

I already took the Macan to the dealer once for LCA not working and the Taycan at least 3 times. The result is always the same. Software reset or update if available but the problem is not fixed. Unfortunately the car does not record what's wrong and unless the issue happens consistently when the car is at the dealer they cannot diagnose it.

HAHA! This had me laugh. You're being serious? I've had issues for 8 months and they are now saying the same thing but for the Macan?(!)

(i've got a loaner until a so called "big update" is coming within 1 month to 6 months") that will "fix" the issue. This is so stupid.

 

[ColdCase]

On fly by wire vehicles and aircraft, these kinds of issues are often a loose connection, pushed pin making poor connection, or faulty sensor putting noise on a data line, the software or hardware interface doesn't like it and goes into limp/safety mode. Usually takes a tech's superman effort to resolve. The lack of any record of why the software is not liking what it sees is unacceptable, however.

Keep in mind, one sensor may be feeding a number of computers/modules and when it goes intermittent, several different errors can get reported.
