    Aftermarket Hitch Options? or Not Allowed?

    All Macan EVs come with "preparation for towbar systems" if the hitch isn't specified at build time. Check with your dealer for options - it may be that the only option is the electric deployable one.

    Precondition & seat heaters

    Depending on the ambient temperature the pre-heat / pre-climate / pre-condition (3 words for the same thing depending on which country you live in) will enable some or all of the following: the rear demister, seat heating (has manual selection for driver and / or passenger side via the app) and...

    New Macan ICE being reconsidered

    1st electric car was 1800s - Robert Anderson (Scot), so yes 1800s is where it's at.

    [UK] Porsche Connect & My Porsche

    The app is 3rd party provided I think. I had the update on my Taycan (Android phone) and no issues.

    Tilt mirrors down when reversing

    I understand what you would use them for but lost as to why when selecting 'R' and the dipped setting already programmed gives your the passenger option regardless. You may wish to dip both driver and passenger so that might be a useful combination. Choice is yours at the end of the day.

    Macan 4S - Doors not shutting down properly?

    This could be a PDI error - not properly set prior to customer handover.

    Tilt mirrors down when reversing

    The memory buttons are for all settings and not just the mirror(s) - I guess they assumed folk would use the memory buttons in addition to the 2 keys to recall specific use cases. My guess is most people don't use the memory buttons at all and rely on the key but when sharing the key it is then...

    Macan 4S - Doors not shutting down properly?

    Not on Boxsters, Caymans or 911s - Master Classes aren't all that IMHO..

    Macan 4S - Doors not shutting down properly?

    More common than you might imagine. Various circumstances - unexpected interruption during closing, power glitch, frozen to door seal momentarily etc. From the manual:

    Macan 4S - Doors not shutting down properly?

    Window position re-learning is documented in the Owner's Manual

    Macan 4S - Doors not shutting down properly?

    We moaned about similar on the Taycan since 2020 and the absence of soft close doors as an option. New J1.2 Taycan has this as an option (someone was listening) but not yet on the Macan EV (only a matter of time) but this would help.

    Tilt mirrors down when reversing

    Only intended to be the kerbside (passenger) on RHD or LHD vehicles - same for all Porsches (and many other brands). Technically both could but I guess it's a deliberate act to not dip the driver's due to the likelihood of approaching traffic in most situations. Mirrors are heated - only when...

    Is chrono plus really necessary on the Turbo?

    You need to drive like you stole it though! Just use the NAV and add the stopover as the target DC EVSE to precondition.

    New Macan ICE being reconsidered

    Yes I'm familiar with rates and the cost over the period of hire will be lost on most. Not everyone chooses these ownership options.

    Porsche Charging Service Plus email

    £500 for some electrical work and a seamless home ecosystem is a bargain. My PMCC was free and at the time all Taycans 2020 to at least 2024 where shipped with a free PMC+ It won't take much public charging (< 20) at excessive rates before home setup costs will have paid for themselves.

    Is the “Coming/leaving home light function” standard on the Turbo?

    Some say tacky... you bought a Porsche not an Audi!

    Annoying Auto Engagement of Hold Function When Entering Garage

    For the Taycan It's the Warn Brake Assist setting but the Macan doesn't appear to have that level of control - can't see it on the simulator and is either off or on rather than off, early, medium or late. Tad annoying as I use the feature when entering my garage and prior to setting the car...

    Is chrono plus really necessary on the Turbo?

    Odd but standard in UK market and it would be quite weird iif we had higher standard spec cars than US.
