Just a quick observation, something that might reduce stress. Occasionally I have found that the powered charge port door won’t open when I place my hand on the rear of the door. Sometimes, it is because I forgot to unlock the car. That’s easy to observe and unlock, and not the issue here...

There is another cause for these assistance system error messages, albeit rare. In Arizona, they made a significant change in the routing of I-17. Each time I now drive this newly relocated stretch of road, I get this error message. It goes away as soon as the new road merges back onto the...

Microphone? Not sure.

daveo4EV, interesting they had you stop every 15 minutes at PECATL. The PECLA Macan EV track experience I had upon delivery did not have me stop. I also stayed an extra day to do track time in a Taycan and I ”pulled the plug” (worn out) before they asked me to stop the car. I don’t recall how...

Same, got email in early September, waiting

I think I figured out why raising the chassis or raising the spoiler doesn’t work. Anything that moves can’t be done via voice because the possibility of the system incorrectly interpreting normal conversation could have bad consequences.

I am wondering what the range of voice commands is. This first list below is the example commands from the voice pilot help menu in the vehicle (settings, Porsche Voice Pilot, Help - upper right corner). The other lists below are others I found. Some of these are not useful because it often...

Good discussion. I agree the producers of the video are biased against EV’s and the title was inaccurate with the facts of the story. Still, the underlying Porsche (all manufacturers) story is valid: regulatory and consumer uncertainty, changing plans for model development, and profit erosion...

For the Macan, the electric-only version proceeds as planned, but new ICE/hybrid variants will be added to lineup. Cayenne EV will still be coming to market. It looks like Porsche is pulling back from further investment in EV development in favor of PHEV’s or ICE.

I just saw this YouTube video:

Two minutes after I posted here, I got the email.

I also haven’t received the email, or “emails.” December 2024 Macan 4, and June 2025 Macan 4. I have a Lectron adapter I purchased and I almost always charge at EA locations. So I am not in any hurry. I assume they need to work through the backlog, but will contact them in a month if I don’t...

I was thinking about tire life just today. I believe shorter EV tire life is, in part, due to a natural tendency to accelerate more quickly (because of the greater torque). I do it. Not even trying, I find I leave the ICE vehicles behind when leaving the stop light. Even my wife, the...

There are other posts on this site on the doors. My right powered door opened only intermittently. A gasket was found to be too thick, and was replaced. All good now. Might be several issues going on here, not just this one. I had an interesting thing happen a few days ago, I think. Car was...

That might be a factor too…

Yes, Out of Spec Dave reported this several months ago, but good to get confirmation. Not an inconsequential expense for Porsche.

I like the exterior, much improved grill this time (smaller), but the interior is awful IMO. I break out in hives every time I see an iPad glued to a dashboard. Maybe I’m too old school.

Max torque in an electric motor is at zero rpm; max torque in an ICE is at mid-to-high rpm. Might be a factor.
