  1. First long trip and charging with Tesla

    If you were trying to use a Tesla Level 2 resort charger, the adapter that Porsche sent us is for Tesla DC fast charging. I think you need a separate Tesla Level 2 adapter.
  2. Macan 4 - Black with the best performance for the cheapest price

    Strip out some off your cosmetics such as 21" wheels, GT steering wheel, painted metal parts and you could have a 4s which is much sportier for under 1000 pounds extra.
  3. Leaving car for 6 weeks - plug in or no?

    When I was away for 6 weeks last summer and left it plugged in, the Porsche app would occasionally let me know the Macan was getting charged up, but only by a few percentage points. Have no idea why it happened several times.
  4. Long term miles per kilowatt

    6424 miles at 3.5 miles/kWh on 20" wheels according to the app since March with rare city traffic.
  5. [ADVICE REQUEST] 2026 Macan EV Build-Out

    I believe you are incorrect. One can see which wheels are operating and which are regenerating at any time by entering "car" then selecting "trip" on the center screen which shows you how your car power is in operation. The front wheels are definitely not being used as much as you think.
  6. [ADVICE REQUEST] 2026 Macan EV Build-Out

    My 4S is hardly ever powered on four wheels in most driving unless going uphill. Likewise, it is rarely regenerating using four wheels, using mostly just the rear wheels for regeneration. I would think the added weight of the front motor would hardly change the feel since it is hardly ever in...
  7. 2026 Cayenne EV World Premiere 🚀 Up to 1139 HP, 0-62 in 2.5s

    No trailer hitch (even for bikes) on an SUV?
  8. Help! Climate control on iphone app stuck

    All functions that were available from my phone and all the Macan's internet communications were locked up and not cured until the dealer conversed with Porsche and had the car's software all reset.
  9. Porsche NACS complimentary adapter email

    I got mine with no shipment notice today.
  10. Minimalist Design, Decade-Long Durability

    They are probably for a gas Macan, not the EVs.
  11. Gripes 6mo into ownership

    The ice Macan I have as a loner feels very slow, looks old, and drives like a truck compared to my 4S. I would not have considered it when car shopping.
  12. Summer solstice solar direct to car charging

    I get the same mileage (around 3.7 miles per kw) and the same power from my solar arrays. Using 70% of the battery gave me 250 miles at highway speed on a recent trip.
  13. Bike racks?

    A hitch rack with a bike on it and living in a state without a front license requirement, this combination causes a problem for camera toll collection. My protest supporting unemployed toll collectors that occurred when the cameras became ubiquitous..
  14. Trailer Hitch Light Harness?

    I was curious, also, so I removed the cover and found it loosely connected and covering to what appeared to be the plug. If the plug can be separate from the cover, then the plug would be loose and not attached. I'd like to know the answer, also, though my use of the hitch if mainly for bikes...
  15. Did I blow it by not ordering the HUD?

    "I have set the optional switch on the steering wheel to turn the HUD on and off so at night when it is more distracting it is easy to disable" The HUD can be turned off by holding the left rotating wheel on the steering wheel down until it turns off, so not necessary to use the optional switch.
