Just checked - TIDAL is still ion my PCM - and is working fine.

I agree - we should all send the same request email - and check their responses. In addition, contact the Macan EV development lead.

Sales reps and Local Staff tend not be best informed. I had great feedbacks so far from the globalised Porsche Smartmobility team and have provided feedback which apparently went to the core of the development team. I doubt that local reps will collect feedback and provide them back to HQ. We...

Did you connect with [email protected] to get this confirmed? At least from my past interactions, they seem to listen and good suggestions.

I received similar reply as a first feedback from Porsche. They also do not plan to offer a hardware upgrade from Cluster 43 to Cluster 46. (26 models), as many of these new functionalities are closely linked - both technically and from a regulatory perspective - to the installed control units...

SoH - State of HEALTH New feature seen in a MACAN EV GTS Video: Porsche has included info about Battery SoH. Hope this will be an update for older Macan TVs as well.

Thanks for sharing! Much appreciated!

Likewise! Regarding the ADAC test: Have a look yourself - I assume you understand German ? Some details here regarding the ADAC test procedure: Aufladen auf 100 Prozent und Vorkonditionierung des E-Autos für 14 bis 18 Stunden bei 0 Grad Celsius. Es wurde bewusst ein Kaltstart ohne Akkuheizung...

While Porsche wants to take care of all of the HV battery management and reconditioning, a recent comparison from the ADAC did not give the MACAN good grades. Its consumption was too high. And while preconditioning was not active and charging was done in this Cold Weather simulation - it is...

Thank you all. So there is no way to optimise the battery for a drive in Winter. Interestingly, Porsche has just released an article about battery cell research. https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2025/innovation/porsche-e-performance-cell-research-drive-batteries-41288.html In the Swiss German...

Thanks for the info! Yes, Same here: Configuring AC low-cost charging times usually starts firing with max charging capability - 10.8 kW in my case - and then stops once you have reached the desired target SoC. It does not "ramp up" slowly to adjust the current to smoothen out the charge. Also...

Hi guys, AC charging my MACAN4S with Porsche‘s PCM and setting the Departure time feature to allow for low.price off peak charging over night in my garage. This is a useful feature, yet I wonder if it does heat up the batteries for the selected departure time ?? Note: I don’t have cabin...

Porsche just released info about their batteries, management and maintenance. Details for TAYCAN I and II were released...

BELT STOPPERS in CHALK color Does anyone know if there are any belt stoppers available in chalk color ? I had ordered my Macan with chalk belts - now the Porsche center has installed belt stoppers, but only in black - and they mention that they do not offer those In chalk. It does look odd -...

I got the SW update in my Macan 4S last week Friday. It has been installed smoothly without issues. It takes about 5h - and was done overnight. This was one of the first cars with the SW updates. I immediately noticed, that finally the 5G signal is active (and not 4G anymore). In addition they...
