    xiaomi versus porsche test

    I get what you're saying about the seating position. For me it was ok, the getting in and out was less comfortable and Active Ride helps with this. Cayenne will drive like an SUV there is no way around it. Macan in "low" mode drives better then most other sedans so it's great this way but I...

    Preconditioning & charging planner

    Question is - can you set it as a charging stop (which will trigger the calculation of how much time to charge and should trigger preconditioning). Charging stops have a distinct icon on you route planner wich extra options and if you select it as a destination you cannot change charging...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    You mean to argue what I personally experienced with Macan multiple times is not true because of a graph for Taycan with a different battery, different software and different charging curve? Sure, let's go with that - even IF... these are theoretical parameters for a battery. Porsche states on...

    [anti-FUD] -Porsche Digital Key overview - from Porsche!!

    Well... let's ask chatgpt ;) 1) It’ should be software, not hardware. Digital Key shouldn't be a hardware feature of the new model, it should be software running on hardware that already should exist in earlier Macans EVs. Blocking it seems likne an artificial product-segmentation choice, not a...

    Preconditioning & charging planner

    I don't think it works like that, you can't select a charger as the destination.

    xiaomi versus porsche test

    Well based on my experience with Macan I could say the same about Porsche :P You can find different stories everywhere but at the end it comes down to the car itself - how well it drives and what are the chances you'll get a lemon.

    xiaomi versus porsche test

    Thank, I'll check this out. I'm planning on going back to Taycan next year TBH and was curious about the SU7. Taycan drives phenomenally well, I did a long business trip two weeks ago with the newest Cross Turismo. It was like 911 but EV. I was surprised by a couple of things though: - how much...

    Preconditioning & charging planner

    This is key, solves most problems and actually works very well in me experience. Fast charging the battery any other way will be way less then optimal and in extreme weather conditions will add a lot of time to your charging stops.

    xiaomi versus porsche test

    Cool video, thanks. Too bad there are no english subtitles, my german is limited to ordering beers in restaurants ;) I saw a Xiaomi SU7 at the Ionity charger one time - it was a press/demo car or something like that. It looked impressive and the guy driving it claimed it was very close to...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    I know this may be a shocker but not every hotel has an EV charger ;) Also - I'm handling it as intended, I use the nav system to select fast chargers and it works great. SOMETIMES as it happens you have to leave the car overnight with low SoC and fast charge it in the morning which is also...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    Becase it’s not always connected. Like when I arrive at the hotel late in the evening with low SoC and have to depart in the morning. This is just one scenario. Also - setting the departure time does not precondition the battery for fast charging, just the cabin. I can confirm this and also my...

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    I'm doing 4-5 DC charging sessions A WEEK all during highway trips at 140-160 km/h and all using fast chargers over 300kw. At the moment we have ~0C in Poland, -5C in mornings. What I noticed after the update is the following: - battery on it's own in these conditions will not reach optimal...

    UK Servicing of an EV

    THIS surprises you? Wait till you find out about Xiaomi SU7 which is pretty much a Taycan but costs 1/3 or 1/4 of it ;) You buy a Porsche for one of two things - driving experience or a status symbol. Not for maintenance costs. So if you don't care for either one or the other, go look for...

    What's you tolerance for off center steering wheel?

    So hear me out - I have driven two Tacan loaners and four Macan loaners from two different dealers and they ALL but one had steering wheel like this or worse. Make of it what you will.

    What's you tolerance for off center steering wheel?

    I was surprised to learn from the dealer that Porsche accepts the steering wheel after alignment to be up to 4 deg off center. I was left with something like this and to be honest it bugs me much more than having the steering wheel visibly much more off center. When it is significantly...

    Worst 1 year review of the Macan 4 - EVER. 8 months at the dealership for issues.

    IDK if you lease it your options are limited as you are not the owner.

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    I have it, I'm usually the one to find every little details that are wrong and I don't see it ;) It works and honestly it's hard to tell it's even there, you don't notice it.

    2026 Cayenne EV World Premiere 🚀 Up to 1139 HP, 0-62 in 2.5s

    I like the Macan better - both outside and inside. Curious how it drives but the bigger the SUV the worse experience.

    MY26 software update (week 36) for MY24-25

    Yeah so I’m not sure why are we talking about it ;) Do the update and be happy. It includes improvements to the charging process and range calculation.
