The Macan has both resistive heat and a heat pump. Resistive heat is very inefficient and Porsche decided to program the software to minimize its use. At very low temps I've witnessed near immediate heat, but in cooler weather it is certainly slower most of the time, Porsche says to use the...

I've AC charged 20-30 times in the last 9 months without issue. Yesterday I plugged in and left the garage. When I checked later I see it failed to charge and a number of lights were flashing both at the Porsche brand EVSE and Macan. I unplugged and plugged in and just get an error and Christmas...

Both great cars, just buy what you think you'd like to drive. Only you know that. If you can't decide, save the money on the least expensive, how little that may be.

I don't think thats the use case heated windshields are intended as, even on an ICE, remote start with heater/defrost running does that without extra expense. I opted for it, but if I had known the configurator was wrong I probably wouldn't have. Most of us use the heated windshield to prevent...

I've read here that the North American heated windscreen only activates in so called Max defrost mode (which may be what you guys call demist). You can turn down the blower speed.

I'd have no tolerance for this. The techs I know would have more pride in their work as they know how annoying it is. There are several stability type functions that use steering angle as an input.

Is PT4+ standard on the Turbo, or optioned on yours? If so it has a variable locking dif in the rear. I've not noticed mine click but I guess it could in your situation. The Macan will also brake a spinning wheel, which sounds like ABS clicking.

If you don't find one, I made one from a small sheet of heat formable plastic. I laid the sheet over the FOB and used a heat gun to "melt" it over and then trimmed to fit. Crude but effective. If you fold over the edges enough it will be a snap on fit.

Maybe wet asphalt is not slippery? :) Just saying if the tires slip/slide you won't notice... perhaps far from normal conditions, however so irrelevant.

Suspension loading on rubber bushings changes wheel alignment. Porsche wheel alignment is optimized for high speed turns at the expense of scrubbing or chatter at low speed. (see Ackermann) So when working normal you will feel the skipping. On a slippry surface you should not be feeling any skip.

In my case the brake was applied, shifted to reverse, slowly released the brake as the car moved rearward but continued some brake pressure to moderate the creep speed. I don't feel anything in the brake pedal. It seems more like a hiccup in the creep function, but hard to tell. Just checking...

I was just about to post on this topic, or perhaps something similar. I've had my Macan for about 8 months now. From 20 to 80 degree F. About 5 months ago I started noticing a bump feeling like running over a small object like a ¼ inch or so dowel after the Macan has set for more than a day and...

I'm sure many of you have seen this, but I always get a kick out of this old but cool electric car review....

There is an alignment mode, which usually corresponds to highway ride height. Is the adjusted alignment mode near the center of the range or is it hugging one side? The alighnment wil be different during suspension movement as the engineers intend, I wouldn't be surprised if values go out of...

As far as I can remember (a half century), the only thing wrong with Porsche's cars was the price of entry and maintenance. With few exceptions, they sure were fun to drive.

Mine switched properly while sitting in the garage. It is connected to the home wifi, but there is also a weak cell and GPS signal. If it works like a computer, there is a time server configured in the car's internet setup. At defined periods, the computer in the radio contacts the server and...

Dunno about Porsches thinking. Given the same tread design and compound, narrower tires are better on snow and slush, wider tires on ice..

My order confirmation email was dated 6:13 PM US Eastern time on Sept 9, still no word...... Edit: Received FEDEX notification today (Sunday), it was shipped Saturday from Indianapolis and should arrive Wednesday.

Years ago I toyed a bit with an OCPP compliant EVSE (Grizzl-E). The included app at the time provided impressive eye candy and I learned a bit about EV charging. Otherwise it was not that useful for my situation so I lost interest over time. It didn't help that the "free" apps available were...

I have found chargers at specific EA local stations to be unreliable for everyone, and plug and charge to be hit or miss even when working for other brands at these stations. Other stations I found to be reliable. However, one time the status of a local station showed ready but by the time I...
