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...

ICE vehicles need LiFePO4 batteries to meet instantaneous high current demands from the RAS system that AGM batteries cannot meet. EVs have a huge traction battery that’s always available and therefore don’t need anything more than a AGM battery.

They true outlier is Tesla who doesn't offer a comparable driving assistance feature anymore. You either pay for Full Self Driving or you get nothing.

I wouldn't put any trust in that battery SOH number, it's probably been pulled out of thin air so that a buyer doesn't hit them with a misrepresentation claim if they are unhappy with the range.

It clearly shows that the image is copyrighted by Airbus, they sell aerial imagery. The road information is copyrighted by Google. Neither company is responsible for the navigation, that is a separate function and seems to be handled by TomTom.

I'm certain that it is something that you will need to enable when you want to use it, similar to Sport Sound. It would therefore always be off by default in Normal mode, but you may be able to modify the other drive modes to your liking.

E-Shift is not about ultimate performance but about driver engagement. I'm sure it was designed with drivers of PDK-equipped Porsches in mind that may be looking for a larger, more practical vehicle for daily driving.
