EVs in general are poorly supported by legacy auto makers that have dabbled in them, as well as their dealers. They have decades of experience selling and servicing ICE vehicles, and seem to be reluctant and ignorant when it comes to EVs. If they don't adapt, they will eventually be left behind...

That's a significant number of lost jobs, but Porsche also has years to make those cuts. Many will be covered by routine retirements and resignations, while others may take early retirement. It's also quite possible that those plans will change (either up or down) in the next nine years.

IIRC the PTS cars are produced at a plant or assembly line that can't do the Drive Assist sensor calibration.

5G was already available in some regions like North America before the update.

Syncing requires a clear view of the sky. Do you park in a garage or parking structure?

Ditto.

Matrix headlights are also a popular target for thieves.

Regarding the first problem (range estimate), see if the same problem occurs when using the Guest profile. My guess is that it's specific to your driver profile and that the car just needs to re-learn how your driving habits affect range.

When I first got my Macan I had a Elago MagSafe-compatible case on my iPhone that I needed for the phone holder/charger in my previous car. That case caused intermittent charging issues and I got rid of it since I no longer depended on MagSafe. Haven't had charging issues since, but I suspect...

There is a OTA update for the high voltage battery charging when using Level 2 AC EVSE. It's also in the WTA6 campaign software update that the dealer can perform -- that update also includes a bunch of other fixes.

That's a significant update with more cameras being required, I wouldn't expect that to appear until the first facelift.

Have your dealer perform the software update for the WTA6 campaign. It reduces the number of warning icons you might encounter and also changes the wireless phone charging to make it more robust.

Also keep the keys out of range and don't constantly check on the status of the car using the app.

If you have PPF over a decal it will bubble in short order. Maybe the shop intends to put film over it and then trim it with an Xacto knife? That would make some sense as long as they are careful not to cut into the paint.

Very true. When the Macan EV first became available some components were in short supply and became temporarily unavailable when building a car using the configurator. One example is the dual-layer thermal and noise insulating glass -- it disappeared from the configurator for a while and could...
