    My New Manicci Floor Mats Are Excellent!

    I just drove a Macan loaner with the all-weather Porsche mats in the front. My driving heel was not stable at all on those things, and I can't be seen driving my 4S in anything other than my Italian shoes. The trunk all-weather mat is perfect for me, so that stays, but I think I'll stick with...

    Is your Homelink range short?

    I'm about to get a Liftmaster 98022 direct drive whilst replacing my garage door. It looks like the antenna for this is a 3-4" wire that is wholly inside the unit when the cover is on, and is partly shielded from the outside by the backup battery! Some additional wiring may be in my future.

    Software updates and faults

    Mine was in the shop for several days for cameras and WSD0 updates, but I could track it the entire time. They only spent about 6 hours working on it, and some of that was trying to work out how to fix my rear USB ports. (There is little documentation on how to get into the rear center console)...

    Summer solstice solar direct to car charging

    My solar edge only does solar, so my picture looks a bit sadder! I think my best ever day was May 31 a few years ago. Sunny enough to get photons, but cool enough to not overheat the panels, and 83kwh generated Weather in Seattle this time of year is all over though, I can get anywhere...

    Summer solstice solar direct to car charging

    Do Not Believe This Guess. It is entirely fictitious, made up, not even a good guess! It is showing a miles/kwh I have NEVER achieved. It’s even more fake due to charging, as the battery voltage isn’t correct ABRP has my 100% range closer to 270 miles for the trip I’m about to take ABRP...

    Summer solstice solar direct to car charging

    This is the time of year where my solar panels can generate more than the 9+kw charging speed. Now I'm fully charged for a road trip in my fusion powered Macan.

    Is your Homelink range short?

    I find that mine is very directional. If the car isn’t perpendicular to the garage, it won’t work. Of course, I turn to exit mine in reverse, so I have to wait until I’m fully turned around before it works to close. Or use the remote I keep in the car I’m getting a new opener shortly, and...

    Porsche app now alerts when EA 30 minutes near

    Ah, a recent iOS update did enable a whole bunch of stuff. I must have disabled it when it first installed last year

    Porsche app now alerts when EA 30 minutes near

    I’ve fast charged a few times and noticed the car does NOT tell you how long you’ve been charging. Either set a phone timer, or watch the EA screen seemed to be the way. Today, I got an app notification for starting the session, but also when I got to 20ish minutes in. And the app now shows...

    Is the rear brake light bar animated?

    This thread has all the details - being dark enough to enable the feature was a surprise https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/is-the-%E2%80%9Ccoming-leaving-home-light-function%E2%80%9D-standard-on-the-turbo.19029/

    The difference is more than I anticipated … similar driving style … Macan Turbo EV vs. BMW iX

    My current charge page is indicating I could drive almost 350 miles, averaging 3.4 miles/kwh. Over all measures of driving since I have had the car, I have NEVER averaged more than 3.3 miles/kwh for any day's driving at all according to the app. I think they may have this algorithm using 'AI'...

    Drift Machine. RWD macan review

    If you're going to use the caption 'Drift Machine' on your thumbnail, it's a bit of a miss to not show any drifting at all (Spoiler Alert!)

    What's the significance of the icons and coloured dots in the connectivity area?

    If you touch that area, you get a new dialog that allows you to select what is displayed there. But also, that dialog has larger versions of those dots, with icons on them. Blue is navigation, and green is a microphone.

    Compact spare wheel + tire

    ez-sparewheel.com claims to have ones that fit, but are sold out. I emailed them asking to confirm the lug nut spacing of 5x130, not the 5x112 of the ICE Macan, but have heard nothing back...

    When did the 2024 & 2025 Macan 4 first get delivered?

    There should be plenty of posts here for the first 2024 car deliveries to customers. Mid September is what you’ll find. Early cars sat around for a while before September, but were not delivered. I don’t know where you’d get June 2024 from, unless you’re relying on AI to simply make stuff up...

    Broken USB unexpectedly hard to fix

    Today I brought my 4S in for 3 things. The recall camera software update, the WSD0 software network update, and the simplest one: re-attaching the rear USB panel that was not attached when I received my car. (Terrible photo attached, man, I gotta dust back there!) It turns out that the latter...

    Recall 2024 Macan 4 Check your vin

    Mine is in for the recall today and the WSD0 update too. I got a base 2025 Macan with an engine as a loaner. The brakes are soft, and the gas pedal needs a lot of input to make it go even in Sport mode! I drove a Macan S earlier this year, and that was a much better experience, but I think...

    From a BMW i4 to a Macan 4 - here's my comparison after 10 days......

    #5 - I want to see the dash through the wheel, so I want the wheel to come out further to make that space wider. I can't see the far left or right of the dash displays without moving my head. #23 - I recently realized that I hadn't configured my wife's account in the car. Once you have setup...
