  1. ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    No issues in Europe, we do all our testing in the US:CWL:
  2. Is Dolomite Silver the best color for masking dirt and dust?

    I would say silver is definitely the best colour out there.* Would rate white as the 2nd best and then light colours. Dark colours are the worst with black being the worst, non metallic black takes the crown as worst possible. For the interior it is the opposite, black is best, then dark...
  3. Race-Tex vs Leather on Macan EV GTS (Daily Driver) – What would you choose?

    The only thing worse than piano/gloss black or black paint is race-tex. Hate materials which like to wear if you look at them. I find it acceptable only in two places, the pillars and headliner where touching the material will be limited to 0%. My preference is for fake leather but since Macan...
  4. Finding the vehicle software version

    There are only 2 versions of Macan software (old & new)😁 Depending on RHD/LHD check top right or top left corner of screen: 4G -> old 5G -> new Blame Porsche not the messenger:CWL:
  5. Warning symbols on dash for first 5-10mins

    That's clearly an MY2026, expected better from you :CWL: To the OP welcome to PSE (Porsche Software Experience);)
  6. Are model year 2026 Macan EVs problem-free?

    It's not a swiping motion, it's a kick motion under the sensor, works 100% if you read the manual (same for the frunk, once you read the manual it works 100% otherwise your chances are slim to none
  7. Can you trickle charge the 12V battery of a 2025 Macan EV if it is not going to be used for several weeks?

    Yes same as all Macan EVs and as said it works up to a point until it doesn’t, may be 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, etc. Lots & lots of dead EVs of all brands suffered the same fate, if you don’t have time to muck about just use the trickle charger. Charge in HV battery is irrelevant you can have...
  8. Can you trickle charge the 12V battery of a 2025 Macan EV if it is not going to be used for several weeks?

    Still AGM, I have RWS. If you don't trickle charge the 12v I can guarantee you will at some point return to a dead Macan 😁
  9. Best tyres for wear (comp)

    @dnsacks we do have treadwear printed on tyres in Europe. Each manufacturer does their own testing so you cannot compare between brands, but within the same brand: ~ 200 rating = performance tyre (soft/short life) ~400 rating = all seasons (middle) ~800 rating = touring tyre (hard/long life) For...
  10. Change items in Quick Access

    That's how it works unfortunately. Changing the items will be available only to MY27 models (probably):CWL:
  11. Icons overlapping make it hard / impossible to select or move back

    Yeah it's 1 of the only 2 things being worse on the new model I could find, the other being the missing power split/regen animation under Trip.
  12. GTS consumption figures?

    Correct, by nearly 1%. Must be that stuck on spoiler😁 All Macans share the same battery so most of the consumption will come down to - power - wheels & tyres - equipment (weight) - driver
  13. Best tyres for wear (comp)

    Yeah, I'd rather have my fun in my topless rwd manual NA flat 6 2-seater Porsche that's 1.1T lighter 😁 and use the 2.5T Macan SUV for more mundane tasks. Sure you can destroy a brand new set of tyres in 5min if you are so inclined, that's besides the point. Point is, driving a same size ICE...
  14. Physical key?

    Tesla -> open glovebox Porsche -> sorry mate, been locked for the last couple of years, no one knows where the keys are (1 possibly in the glovebox)😁 meanwhile back in Porsche HQ during design Engineer -> finally digital key implementation after 10 years Marketing -> not so fast, you can work...
