quite the testament to Porsche's software quality…let's see them blame "the grid" now…

in general we recommend against buying any ICE vehicle since this is the Macan EV forum… ICE vehicle's are naughty naughty with the earth's environment and make loud noises and scare the horses and pets…and sometime's the spouses You'll enjoy a fresh and new Macan EV much more than any of...

then it's the car - most likely a fault with the OBC - dealer service for diagnosis and repair…

the warning said "visit workshop" - seems like a dealer service issue to be diagnosed.

what EVSE are you using? have you factory reset it? is the car limited to 3.8 kW on other EV chargers?

I woke up this morning - got in the car - and the clock was wrong - just like last year when we "fell back" - last year it took "days" until the car resolved this and I had to manually "update" the clock to have the correct time for properly charging schedule and such… today nearly the second I...

even if it doesn't there is now precedent for power-voltage-quality issues causing problems for Macan's to charge - and the the update is the reason it no longer works - now as to if the fix for Europe does not fix North America - well it's not forgone conclusion it _IS_ the update that is...

this is soooo good! _PROOF_ the software update _IS_ the root cause of the problem!

voltage sag's when there is a big draw…it might get lowered by as much a 5V

thank you for this update - I'm particularly pleased that the pre-update Macan "just worked" and the post-update Macan did not work (as expected) - having a reproducible test case that exhibits the problem (or not) is normally "key" for any engineering progress on a software bug… I have high...

yes if plug&charge works at EA it's very very likely it will also "just work" at appropriate Tesla Superchargers … not that the two networks use the same technology but rather than Porsche already knowns how to bill you!!! LOL not _ALL_ North American Tesla Superchargers allow non-Tesla's to...

Porsche Charging Service (PCS) is all you need for plug&charge to work at North American Tesla Superchargers … PCS is setup via myPorsche app for your vehicle - you can have a Tesla app setup as well but it's only for backup purposes as an alternative method for starting a charging session...

it will depend on the voltage - it's NOT the charger that's the problem - it's the voltage from the grid that is causing the problem - it's not the charging hardware - it's the power supply being fed to the charging hardware… so it may or may not work depending on the grid voltage at the time...

more data that sweating the battery isn't really worth your time…...

this is pure golden 100% dealer service BS - this simply shows how little they actually understand what an EV Charger (EVSE) actually does and how it works…OMG this frustrates me soooooo much… what they basically were telling you is that you're using the wrong on/off switch…which is simply...
