The option is in the UK configurator. It can’t be a regulatory issue in the US as it’s still offered on the Cayenne EV there, as well as being approved for years. If it is a mistake missing from the US configurator, that applies to the ICE Macan as well.. It’s interesting that on the US...

Surely that must be a mistake in the configurator - it’s in the UK one. It can’t be a regulatory issue as it’s offered on the Cayenne EV. That said, it’s not available on the ICE in the US configurator or any of the Macan EV’s even the Turbo

UK Charging Service rates - https://assets-v2.porsche.com/int/-/media/Project/PCOM/Europe/International/Charging-Service/PCS_Plus_Pricelist Gridserve now 59p against their standard rate of between 82p - 89p. There is a blocking fee - DC after 60 mins is 20p / minute.

VW are a part owner of IONITY, as are Merc, BMW, Hyundai and Ford. It’s the manufactures adopting the Tesla charging model. I don't need to use the App as Plug & Charge works really well on GRIDSERVE that I favour. GRIDSERVE are expanding their Forecourts and they are similar to the Porsche...

My 4s last week returned 3.7 miles / kw doing a 50/50 split of dual carriageway and A or B roads over about 200 miles

Some time ago the MoD in the UK banned EV’s cars with Chinese software within 2 miles of ‘sensitive’ establishments. They also totally banned connecting phones to those cars and warned against sensative conversations being held in them. When I posted on here about this there were quite a few...

I watched a lot of his videos - don’t bother anymore. He comes across to me as a die heart Tesla fan so has ended up where he wanted. In terms of buying before FSD become subscription perhaps he is thinking it will make the car worth far more when they terminate.

I have the glass and Ican confirm I’ve had no issues wth my mobile or dashcam over the last 16 months. I’m in the UK.

The new Cayenne EV, which uses different battery technology, the owners manual recommends a recalibration every 4,000 miles. I have no idea if recalibration is different to rebalancing - this is a far simpler procedure, although I’ve never run my S down to 4%. Porsche recommends recalibrating...

I had this issue. It was resolved by the dealer installing several small updates including a battery management one. The issue occurred after the major update but not immediately. Been fine ever since The BM update.

I would clarify as it seems the ‘global launch’ is the 26th June. In Europe the dealers are banned from registering cars as demos until then.

You would have seen this demonstration of what could happen if you drive your new car a little too fast !

As strange as it may sound - I’ve had the same happen when the car is also slow to respond in opening mirrors and connecting to CarPlay. I’ve found it happens when the car is in a poor signal area. I’m not sure that the seat movement should be linked to the signal BUT as is likely, the car is...

I had similar but not as extreme issues with my March 25 S. My dealer had the car for 5 days and it came back as it was when I originally collected it. They told me that they consulted Germany and installed 5 or 6 smallish updates - one of which was battery management. They charged the car (on...

The Turbo Cayenne is a very expensive car - at UK prices the start price is £ 33k more than the Macan Turbo. The Macan is £ 20k more than a 4S but the Cayenne Turbo is £ 30k more than an S. It will be interesting to see how many Turbo’s are sold compared to say the S. In the UK the major...
