  1. April 2026 Consumption Figures - Share Yours

    Honestly, I don't really know. As you can see from below, I've averaged 3.5 miles/kWh over 12,600 miles. This includes very cold winter driving, typically below or well below freezing during winter months, during which I'm closer to 3 Miles/kWh or slightly less. The car is garaged in a heated...

    2024 Macan 4 20" aero wheels, A/S tires Regen off
  3. Retrofit Innodrive

    My USA-spec MY24 Macan 4 has ACC but no Innodrive (which I now wish I had specced.)
  4. 2026 Macan4 has bigger EPA range then MY 24 or MY 25. Why?

    I haven't noticed anyone mentioning this. Does anyone know why the MY26 EPA range is 324 vs the first two model years being 308?
  5. Macan 4 servicing in UK - why is the dealer hounding me.......?

    I have a speculative answer for your particular situation. The majority of MY 24 cars were delivered to dealers late September or early October 2024. I bet when your dealer did the initial prep for the car, the reminder was set for 24 months(i.e. October 2026). They probably did not reset it...
  6. Warning symbols on dash for first 5-10mins

    On my MY24, on the rare occasion that I do get those icons, I also get a yellow warning message in the right hand tube, and there's also an exclamation point icon to the right of where your display is showing the lowered car level icon. The ! Is persistent as long as the icons are also showing...
  7. Warning symbols on dash for first 5-10mins

    Left hand (collision detection) icon normal at start up, usually goes away after three or four minutes. Disappointing to see the other rotating icons on a 2026, but you say they also go away after a few minutes of driving. Do you also get any warning messages on the right hand tube? If not, I...
  8. Are model year 2026 Macan EVs problem-free?

    Yes, correct, thank you. I will be clear about why I ask: I have a 2024 whose lease is up in October. I love it and I would buy it out if I weren't worried about ongoing heavy-duty depreciation. I am certainly considering ordering a new one (and given the lead times, I imagine I would...
  9. Front hood lock jammed

    I wonder how the dealer service department gets it open to fix it.
  10. Are model year 2026 Macan EVs problem-free?

    I think regulars on this forum are by now well-acquainted with the common problems that have been experienced in 2024 and 2025 Macan EV's. Among other things, update-related charging issues, frequent yellow circles, and red circles, charging port issues, rattles, spurious reboots, odd SOC and...
  11. ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    No; since I have been fortunate so far in not experiencing the issues the update is apparently intended to address, and seeing the issues some people are experiencing post update, I am taking the approach of not fixing what isn't broken (i.e. deferring getting the update until either I need it...
  12. ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    I'm not disagreeing in principle. But... it's not apparent to me whether it is PAG, PCNA, or individual dealers/service writers/service managers, or some combination, who are blaming the victims. Reading through the posts here, Porsche's entire approach to the EV's nets out to blaming the...
  13. ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    That is great; although if I understand correctly, that test was on a three-phase circuit. Let's hope it generalizes to the North American single phase scenario also.
  14. ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    I don't think this blows your theory. In fact, my bet is that you are essentially correct, meaning that the reason for whatever change was made with this update was to protect the OBC or some other aspect of the charging system, meaning to restrict the total power going to the car. In that case...
  15. ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    It's worse than that. It used to work, and it appears that the update broke it. They must know what was changed. It was not a problem for two years, and suddenly there are multiple reports after the update. How hard can it be to figure this out?
