It’s not 30% loss vs EPA in cold temps. It is 30% loss in cold temps and 20mph above EPA tested speeds. I have no doubt I can get nearly 300 miles in my Macan if I stick to 55mph.

I don’t know why GTS would be worse, unless there are some aero issues. My Turbo got 2.5-2.7 throughout the winter months, and that includes having drag from a ski rack and snow tires. I only had the car in the fall last year so we will see what it does but it was doing 3.2 miles per kWh...

You will want to leave it at low SoC overnight and then fully charge as others (including myself) have experienced needing to rebalance cells. Curious to know if your car is left idle for long periods or plugged in regular such that it’s always around 60-80% SoC day to day. Would still like to...

I can’t tell if this thread is about a complaint that the heating isn’t working as expected, or about how to heat the seats through the app. In my phone app in the “pre-climate” section I can select each seat to heat individually and the precondition temperature. Selecting the driver seat...

I remember in the iX people complained about some electrical noise that sounded like bees in the overhead trim. I never experienced it but was pretty common and eventually there was a fix.

Also there is a lot of garbage data or perhaps incorrect formatting in car scanner from what I can see. It makes me not really trust the data that looks reasonable when so much of the data looks bad. the highest voltage being 0. anything seems completely wrong, for example. My house Li battery...

IDK if it is necessary to do the procedure twice. It probably depends on the situation. As mentioned I saw a healthy rebalance at a low of 25% SoC and full restoration of charge speed, so I’m a bit skeptical it must be driven down to nothing (and then repeated), but perhaps that’s the most...

I think that bar graph is voltage not capacity. I am not sure what values the ends indicate but traditionally you want your battery gauge to be somewhere in the middle, not super high (like 16 volts) or super low (like 11 volts). It is similar to a temperature gauge where you don’t want it to be...

My uninformed idea of this (for all EVs not just Macan) is that if you have some cells with maybe 50% SoC and some cells with zero, your overall SoC is zero because it needs to be able to pull energy from multiple cells to have enough power to operate. When it sits in this state and there’s...

Spent a few weeks just doing maybe one or two short trips a week. After I experienced slow dc charging, I let it sit for a few hours at ~25% and SoC jumped to 40% (rebalance made more cells available). Then I charged it at home to 85% and a few hours later it went to 75% (more space to charge)...

I would still let it sit at low SoC for a few hours because this fixed slow DC charging for me, after it being a garage queen for a few weeks seemed to cause this. The dealership will probably just start with the recalibration anyway.

If it’s anything like my experience you may see the SoC increase overnight… possibly quite a bit as it unlocks stranded energy.

Try non-EA as well to rule out something like cell imbalance/recalibration required on your car.

They should really be comparing to the cayenne EV, at least if they wanted to get the sizes closer.

My understanding is that Teslas implementation predates UWB in phones and only their latest models have UWB hardware, previously using exclusively Bluetooth Low Energy. At any rate the only implementation I’ve heard of that advertises to work even when your phone doesn’t have enough battery to...
