    Nearside (left) front window opening itself

    Wow. That is concerning. Fortunately I spotted mine whilst in the drive outside my house. Will keep checking now whenever leaving in public for a while.

    Nearside (left) front window opening itself

    Yep - tried that at the time and it didn't work. All has been fine since however.

    Nearside (left) front window opening itself

    Yep - that was my assumption too. I didnt think of resetting with the door open and will try that if it happens again. Thanks

    App not working again !

    Same here. Also on Octopus and paid the higher rate last night as there was no control over charging as it appears Octopus could not intervene by setting up a future Schedule

    Macan 4 EV - Octopus intelligent sync issue

    Well, mine started playing up again last night ! I plugged the car in expecting Octopus to take control and it did nothing... and the car just started to take a charge at the higher rate, as I watched Octopus, charger and Porsche apps waiting for something to intervene and pause the charging...

    Issue with app connection with the car

    Same issues here and possibly explains wy Octopus has failed to correctly charge my vehicle overnight as it too must rely on connectivity via the App. All plugged-in as per instructions but Octopus failed to intervene and it just charged up at the more expensive rate. I’m going to try to klet...

    Nearside (left) front window opening itself

    It seems to have settled this morning is working (hopefully). Resetting the window didnt seem to have any effect so I simply had to edge it as close to closed as I could overnight.

    Nearside (left) front window opening itself

    Has anyone had an issue with the passenger /left (nearside in UK) front window refusing to close? Every time I close it, it drops again to approx 1/2 way open. I try the full auto-close and it drops. If I edge it one small step at a time, it looks promising then drops again when it reaches the...

    Custom Center Armrest Tray

    Looks great! Given the space in there you could even elaborate further and have a 3-tier system in place. Maybe you better copyright it before someone else's steals your idea!

    Macan 4 EV - Octopus intelligent sync issue

    It's definitely a game of hit & miss but I managed to get through the Test without having to lower/raise the car's capacity. I probably just caught it at the right time by sheer chance. The good news (although confidence is not yet that high) is that Octopus charged it perfectly last night. I...

    Any regrets / do-over wishes for your Macan EV specs? …”No Ragrets? Not even a single letter?” …

    I'd consider adding g rear steering next time. The EV 4S isn't as manoeuvrable as my previous ICE Macan S in tight spaces.. such as UK multi storey car parks.

    New 4S Roof Rattle

    I saw this mentioned in another post on here but the passenger seatbelt issue can be resolved by pushing the clasp (the bit that goes into the car when someone sits there) to the top of the belt on the door pillar. It holds in place and stops the rattle when there is no passenger. Works like a...

    Macan 4 EV - Octopus intelligent sync issue

    Thanks for the advice. I wondered where that random Departure time entry had come from in the Porsche App but this explains that also!

    From Hungry to Efficient: When Did Your Macan EV Start Becoming More Efficient?

    I'm a very cautious driver ;-) Yes, good point on it being mainly local driving with heating, music, etc all active too. It's also below zero here with snow at present. I'll keep an eye on it... I just noticed the supposed 10 hours of driving yesterday too. I don't think I was awake for 10...

    Macan 4 EV - Octopus intelligent sync issue

    Have you found it to be reliable Steve? Its my first run of it tonight but had a few issues when I let the EV Charger schedule previously. Any issues with the car coming up with a charging error when it is first plugged-in if Octopus doesn't permit it to draw charge? Also, I am assuming this...

    From Hungry to Efficient: When Did Your Macan EV Start Becoming More Efficient?

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong... not getting near to those values. I'll turn off regen and see if I notice any difference. Macan 4S with 22" Spyder wheels, no preheating but a reasonable length journey yesterday

    Macan 4 EV - Octopus intelligent sync issue

    I was having similar issues getting a test charge to work but (maybe by pure luck) managed to get it in the end. I've included details below in case it helps anyone else... Macan 4S - I removed any charging limits or schedules as per earlier thread instructions Easee Home charger - I removed...

    Scheduled charging issues….no options now work

    hi… just coming to this thread as I have experienced something similar tonight. I’m also in Cheshire, UK like the two original posters ;-) Situation is.. - Macan 4S. Took delivery less than a week ago. - Easee AC charger at home - charges fine without a schedule - if I schedule charging at...

    New EV 4S picked up yesterday - questions re POI and Frunk

    Ah - that's a shame. Was hoping to take this opportunity to flip from Apple Maps to the built-in Nav system but this is quite an important function for me. It seems it was possible in previous versions of the PCM but not now. It is strange that the map view allows you to select what you want...

    New EV 4S picked up yesterday - questions re POI and Frunk

    No - gotta draw the line somewhere on that options list and didnt fancy the keyless entry enough. I can manage without the frunk/trunk but was just a little confused as I thought the Frunk opening was standard. Not the end of the world ;-)
