    The tiniest glitch - Window data not available

    I'd like to be considered for the prestigious "Smallest Bug" prize: yesterday the app started telling me that it doesn't know whether the rear right window is open. If Porsche can make such a stupid mistake in the app, imagine how bad the safety systems must be /s. I'll wait until I have time...

    Tesla charging in Porsche app now possible (North America)

    You should have received an email today and then updated your app, but supposedly we can now do the whole Tesla charging procedure without needing the Tesla app. EDIT: seems to be NA only, confirmed that it doesn’t work in UK.

    Tire and rim insurance

    It's being offered by Porsche on my new Macan 4S with 20" standard wheels as part of a scheme to reduce luxury car tax burden here in BC. Quoted at $4,850, nominally worth $5,495 for four years' protection. That strikes me as punchy pricing. Has anyone in Canada had similar offers and accepted...

    Gravel roads, trailhead access etc

    Any intrepid owners doing any light off-roading? How are your wheels and tyres/tires holding up? We’re looking to buy a property a good distance down a gravel/unpaved road and we’re infinitesimally concerned about the longevity of the rubber and rims.
