  1. Car struggles to run AC for cabin and battery

    I don’t understand what you are saying. The mechanics of how cold/warm air for the cabin or the temperature of the liquid supplied to control the battery temperature is immaterial. All the BTU’s needed are provided by the heat pump. Not fans blowing across a radiator as you stated in a previous...
  2. Car struggles to run AC for cabin and battery

    I don’t understand what you are saying. The mechanics of how cold/warm air for the cabin or the temperature of the liquid supplied to control the battery temperature is immaterial. All the BTU’s needed to hear or cool the battery and the cabin are provided by the heat pump. Not fans blowing...
  3. Car struggles to run AC for cabin and battery

    You might want to look at this information about how the Taycan maintains battery temperature. I would imagine the Macan is similar. https://www.orovel.net/insights/porsche-taycan-thermal-management in addition, from the Taycan forum ā€œThere is a single compressor (heat pump) for the interior...
  4. Car struggles to run AC for cabin and battery

    I hear what you are saying but why does the AC turn off when I drive the car in Sport Chrono mode, which needs a lot of cooling power to maintain the battery temperature? Is the fan not adequate in that mode?
  5. Car struggles to run AC for cabin and battery

    I hear what you are saying but heat pumps work in both cooling mode and heating mode. In one direction they extract heat from the ā€outsideā€ air and in the other they extract heat from the ā€insideā€ air. All the same compressor. The whole SE US uses heats pumps to heat AND cool their homes. In...
  6. 2025 Macan 4S EV - "Assistance Systems Limited" message

    Thanks. I had hoped this was the case. It has always disappeared within a few minutes of driving. I had gone through the driver assistance not available issue and when I got rid of the 3-4 warnings the collision avoidance was the only one that persisted. I have been using ACC and limited Lane...
  7. 2025 Macan 4S EV - "Assistance Systems Limited" message

    I had this happen when I was driving home in my new 4 from Wilmington, NC. I completely removed my profile and started all over again. That was 2000 miles ago and it has worked fine ever since. The only thing odd is I get a small yellow warning showing two cars being too close. That disappears...
  8. Car struggles to run AC for cabin and battery

    Something that may be related to this issue. When I put the car into chrono mode and it is hot outside, it turns off the AC, I believe in anticipation of heavy duty battery usage requiring heating or cooling. The whole cooling and heating runs of heat pumps. The fans pulling air across the...
  9. Trip to Telluride, Colorado

    Before getting my my Macan 4 I had a Model S with simple Autopilot that I only used on highways. As USMA81 noted it reduced fatigue but I also felt it improved my safety because i could pay more attention to the traffic around me. I haven’t had the chance to use InnoDrive on a trip yet but it...
  10. Macan EV charging at Tesla Supercharger in USA?

    I didnā€˜t get an intro gift at my 6/20 purchase. Fingers crossed, an adapter would be very cool.
  11. Windscreen replacement – Porsche Centre more than twice the price 'like-for-like'!

    I used Safelite to replace the glass in my Tesla Model S. The glass was a blue-purple color and didn't match any of the other glass. It took me about 3 months of fighting with them before Safelite and Progressive insurance finally agreed to replace the windshield with OEM glass with not extra...
  12. Jet Black Metallic just looks amazing

    My Macan 4 is also Jet Black Metallic optioned with a red interior. Hot here in the NC sun but looks awesome.
  13. Tesla US charging network access + adapters

    Dewalt?!!! Am I in my woodshop? LOL.
  14. Tesla US charging network access + adapters

    I have been driving Porsches for 30 years. You are right, parts are never cheap. The cheapest part I ever bought was a $100 replacement of the starter motor cable for my 2006 911S. It was originally totally undersized and you couldn’t start a hot engine! Porsche made the replacement part cheap...
  15. Site Outage: Our Apologies

    Thanks for all you hard work.
  16. Tesla US charging network access + adapters

    I agree the adapters are passive and Lectron gets good reviews. The biggest question is which adapter will satisfy our warranty. Saving a little money only to have Porsche void a warranty is not worth it to me. Where did you find the estimated price of the Porsche adapter? That said, I have been...
  17. Tesla US charging network access + adapters

    Looks like we are on our way. I drove a Model S for 5 years all over the East coast. The Tesla network was always ready to go. Free or not, I will get the adapter. After all, it is a $90-135k car.
  18. Sunroof Shade

    Fingers crossed this works. Living in Please let us know if this works. Living in NC the roof feels like a furnace. Much hotter feeling than my Model S.
  19. Macan EV charging at Tesla Supercharger in USA?

    I also found this today NACS to CCS DC Adapter Part Number: 11A054411 Supersession(s): 11A-054-411 Fitment is for ID. Buzz and ID. 4. it is listed as Not Currently Available. Hopefully this means things are making progress with Tesla.
  20. USB music playlists have to be restarted every time

    I know this is an old thread but I too get a strange behavior. I have Classical, Jazz, and Rock folders on my USB memory stick. I have also created random playlists of all my Rock folders and create 15 .m3u files. When playing one of these playlists I will get songs that are not in the .m3u...
