    Moist in the daytime running lights

    My neighbor’s car, built two after mine, delivered a week after mine, parked outside in the same neighborhood as mine, has condensation in both running lights and I have none. Saying this condensation is normal and acceptable is nonsense. But go ahead and believe some Youtuber because we know...

    Moist in the daytime running lights

    Those of you saying water on the inside of a headlight is normal are making excuses for poor assembly. I have had many many cars and the only time water was ever on the inside of a headlamp is when the lens was cracked or a seal was leaking. It cannot be normal and expected because the water...

    Moist in the daytime running lights

    Moisture in the lights, or anywhere else in the car, is neither normal nor good. In the lights it could lead to corrosion of the electrical contacts. Mine don’t fog up but I did see a 4 a neighbor has that has fogged up running lights so maybe an assembly error.

    1000 miles in my Turbo

    You are driving a Porsche, so drive it, if you want the car to drive itself drive a Tesla or a Cadillac. My Macan EV will not have lane keep, one because I like to drive and two because this tech, like all self-driving tech, is flaky.

    My first, absolutely freezing, road trip

    As I've learned while driving EVs since 2011, driving fast on long trips does not save time and costs more due to more frequent charging events.

    The One reason I did not get the Macan 4 and ordered the 4S

    Side question, you said your 4S is being delivered next week. The 4S has only been available to order for maybe two months, no? I ordered my 4 in July and it won’t be delivered until late December early January. You seem to be getting your car after only a couple of months while I’m waiting 6...

    Annoyance: auto dimming high beams only start at 40 mph?

    I think a lot of you fellas on this forum have grown soft with all this tech in the cars. When I’m driving I’m fully involved, meaning I turn on and off my high beams, I turn my head when in reverse, I fully control the climate settings, never auto, including having the ac off most of the time...

    Dashcam installation issues -- fuse box location?

    Your installer is wrong, the CAN buss cannot power a camera, or anything else. CAN is used for high speed communication between controllers and devices and sensors. The prewire definitely has 12v for a camera.

    US Porsche PMC+ Tripping GFCI Breaker on 120v outlet

    daveo4EV has the right idea; if the actual circuit breaker is not tripping it is not an over current and is probably a issue with the GFCI itself or how the charger is interacting with the GFCI. If the GFCI is old or an off brand try changing it out for a Leviton.

    20 vs 21 inch wheels - thoughts / opinions?

    90% of the people buying a Macan EV will not notice the performance difference between the 20s and the 21s. But the 20s will, supposedly, give you a little better range and will be quieter and better off road.

    Dashcam installation issues -- fuse box location?

    Is there some reason people are not opting for the Porsche dashcam with factory installed wiring?

    wheel / tire sizes and range

    When you live in the western US, as I do and destinations hundreds of miles apart, range is a top priority.

    Official EPA range: 2024 Macan EV 4 (308 miles) and Macan EV Turbo (288 miles) + MPGe figures via Monroney Window Stickers!

    I saw this note on Test cycles on page 17 of the EPA Test Data. The note states Porsche chose to test these at 55 mph and not 62. If this is what they did then the stated range is higher than what it would be at 62 mph, which is the normal test speed. Comments? "Test cycles: Porsche chose...
