    Should You Buy The Porsche Taycan Innodrive Function?

    This supports my experience that having InnoDrive with ALK is superior to ACC and ALK although follow speed limits was turned off:

    Should You Buy The Porsche Taycan Innodrive Function?

    InnoDrive option includes ALK that most expect to be standard and it is not a substitute to ACC and LKA. I just took a 1k mile trip out of town, in a Taycan, and while InnoDrive not very useful when you tell it not to obey speed limits, ALK was really nice by self steering and doing very good...

    Missing 'Mode' Setting - Macan 4 with PASM

    This is odd. If you optioned Sports Chrono then you get Sport+ Drive Mode as shown here. Then the Mode Dial screen should have Sport+ as an option.

    Quest For The Reasonable Config

    The context around each option decision is very helpful. My feedback: Paint: Very personal, but this color is unique to the Macan line with Macan EV. Wheels: Standard wheels are best for range and comfort. I would advise to check what tires come standard (all seasons) and what tires you can...

    Quest For The Reasonable Config

    Welcome to the forum @evdriver2016. Great comprehensive context around options rationale. Would you please configure it on the site and share the build code, which would be the best way for the forum members to review your build and provide feedback.

    Random(?) Error Messages

    Error 1: Assistance systems limited is common if sensors are dirty or obstructed. I would wash and dry the car and if it persists then it means you have a sensor issue not communicating with the Assistance module, which is not good, if it has to do with Warn and Brake feature which is automated...

    Adaptive Cruise Control Fault

    This is disappointing to hear as they had a head start with Taycan to learn from and then 2-year delay did not seem to help to develop and test the tech that is now so common across many brands. The only explanation is that they have been rushing Macan EV out the door and had to make compromises...

    Pcm / preconditions

    Have you found the solution. This is something that I tried on the Taycan that works. - Set your Work or Final not charging station destination as a Favorite in the PCM - Next to it there will be 3-dots that will open up a pop up to select Show Near By Charging stations - Select Charging...

    Adaptive Cruise Control Fault

    As I mentioned earlier, InnoDrive has an option to obey (up to 5 mph) or not obey speed limits, if you turn obey speed limits off then it follows what you set as the upper speed limit and then slows down if needed. Most find LKA as a lane bouncer which is its mode of operation, which is not a...

    Adaptive Cruise Control Fault

    This is a very common confusion across all lines of Porsche Cars. Your only hope is if Porsche opens up FOD to purchase ALK as an OTA. Currently, FOD is still open on original Taycans 2022-2024 (confirmed to have done it), however, 2025 Taycan owners who missed getting InnoDrive from factory are...

    Adaptive Cruise Control Fault

    You have 2 choices with InnoDrive to obey the signs and follow speed limits or not. The stated benefit of InnoDrive outside of following the speed limits on the signs is that it reads the terrain ahead of time and adjusts the speed strategy, such as it will slow down before bends or exit ramps...

    Macan EV Turbo build: anything missing?

    Bose systems are not made equal on Porsche cars. I tested a Macan 4 with Bose for a day and it sounded terrible, no matter the settings. I am not buying the break in excuse (actually think it will get worse in the long run) as right next I drove a 2024 and a 2025 brand new Taycans with Bose and...

    Macan EV Road Trip by Out of Spec Dave - Part 1

    We have a poll. No one achieved 11kW on 48Amp supplied to Macan EV in the US. I tested it with a brand new Macan 4. There is nothing wild about it, it is the expectation from directly wired home EVSE.

    Adaptive Cruise Control Fault

    Yes. That is the point of InnoDrive. Keep us posted when it is fixed and what is the resolution.

    Pcm / preconditions

    Something is not right the way the charging destination is selected since if it is selected correctly the battery will preheat and you observe in the left tube battery screen the increase in battery temperature and max charging rate possible. Macan EV marketing pages state that ideal battery...

    Negating Winter Range Loss In An Electric Car

    Pre-heat battery from grid before departure to optimal driving temperature sounds logical, but Porsche has not made that feature available, possibly because it can only manage battery temperature when knowing ambient temperatures outside when on the move. Let's say you are in a cool garage and...

    First service, $2,500????

    Macan ICE has first 10k/1 year service included and listed in the Standard Equipment. Macan EV first service interval is 20k/2 years and NOT included, so it is not FREE. My dealer has a good joke for EV customers. You buy it, we include oil changes free for life.

    Macan 4 EV vs. Macan GTS ICE

    I am a long time Macan ICE forum member. Since the latest revision that started in 2022, there are no reports of any issues with Macan ICE quality, as it is a stable, refined, and mature product now. I have asked and researched it deep before making a 2024 Macan GTS purchase decision and now...

    Macan 4 EV vs. Macan GTS ICE

    I am glad you like your Macan 4 but the point of this thread is that I feel the opposite. However, I only driven a Macan 4 on 22-inch wheels without PTV+ or Rear Wheel Steering and seeking other more sporty setup examples to drive. Yes, I am only comparing perceived quality and sporty handling...
