Maybe because NHTSA is specific to the USA market only they do not list changes for other markets. Have not been through the change logs to see if they have [EU] references inside, just guessing.

For 500 quid? Guessing: 1) cabin filter -> 15 quid cost to dealer 2) 1L of brake fluid -> 10 quid cost to dealer 3) several bottles of Porsche® branded air shipped directly from Stuttgart to fill the cabin

Well I had ALL of the issues listed above so what you say is worth nothing to me:p j/k I am on VR28.13 but since the issues got progressively worse I did not bother with SQ4 (or SQ5). Will wait until the 2yr service and whatever SQ no. will be available at the time. Not wasting more of my time.

I don't see the problem, you still have to pick up the phone, book an appointment, waste your time driving the car to the dealer, get a taxi back, pray the entire day they don't brick it, make it worse etc., etc. The only additional step is the complaining part which is not hard to do since...

Taycan sales have tanked = hit rock bottom because of poor reliability/efficiency/software/residuals (eye watering depreciation). Taycan already looked great and handled/went well so they focused on the efficiency aspect for it's 4/5 year facelift. They changed the motors & batteries so...

One of the few advantages of being short I guess 😁 I can't see over my roof of mine, hope all is well. From the photos it looks like very thin/soft rubber, doubt it will last the test of time. After living with this Macan for nearly 2 years I can confirm the materials used are well below the...

When I bought the Macan they gave me the prices for the Taycan and told me they would be same/similar (don't remember which of the 2) This is in Europe hence prices in Euro: Warranty Extension Duration 1/2/3 years 1370/2470/3525 euro And prices pa if you do the division: 1370/1235/1175 euro To...

Opens bonnet, checks level, closes bonnet, that'll be 300 quid sir, no no don't worry it's already included in the 1K service with the cabin filter and brake fluid. No wipers are not included in the 2Y service don't be ridiculous, but they're only 100 quid, oh you need a rear wiper as well...

Thankfully proven solutions exist for all Macan software & hardware problems: 1) Total solution: Do not order Macan = no software or hardware issues with the Macan guaranteed 2) Specific solutions: Problem with Air Suspension? Automatic Charge Ports? Innodrive? Digital Key Bose? etc. Uncheck...

What do you mean wireless connection? The 5G mobile network network for PCM? Why would that be required? The ergonomic settings (seat, mirrors, steering) are saved each time when you switch off the car (Porsche calls this switch off "readiness" mode) to your profile linked to your key. Your...

Congratulations on the win! Took some time but finally someone did it, did not think it was possible. Still on my original set, they certainly won't get any near 25K km Entry has been changed to 35K km:p I think your crown is safe unless they start selling some magical tyres.

I think you’re getting double scammed. Dealer: 3 hrs to change the screen, put 6 hrs (just to be sure) x 250/hr = 1500 Insurance: How much does VW charge per hr? 200-250? right, ok put 40 for Porsche. Can think of many scammy professions and dealers/insurers are definitely up there😁 50...

The gestures (bonnet/boot) only work when you have the key on you or in the vicinity of the bonnet/boot. When I wash the car key stays inside the house. It's impossible to open it by mistake using gestures. Learned this the easy way / first time I was drying the rear of the car and the boot...

Agreed at first I was puzzled when people started posting the screenshots as the efficiency was higher than mine, then I started calculating the average speeds and was relieved when their average speeds were lower. For example 18.7 kwh/100km but then when you calculate average speed it’s only...

It gets much easier to install after I tell you how much I paid for mine. Converted from Euro to usd it was 340. And that was from factory so their cost is zero (Silver badge comes standard/foc). I would have removed their badge if they would deduct it from the price but they don't. Thieving...
