    Is free Internet Included new Macan EVs in the USA?

    No is the answer. Porsche Connect uses a separate data service which you get with the car (any Porsche) for up to 10 years. The Internet option requires the separate (expensive and pointless) data pass to use the apps Internet access (videos etc) and to use the PCMs hotspot for data sharing...

    2025 Macan EV Production & Sales Numbers (and more model level info)

    It tells no more than previous press releases have for 2025 and the Macan EV sales haven't really excelled as Porsche expected (too expensive IMHO and confused politics in certain regions). Taycan production has been throttled back (got that gem from my dealer this weekend) to reflect major...

    Seeking Build Feedback - Turbo or GTS

    Yep,.so again the Owner's manual will discuss briefly the conditions which may impair these systems - moisture, sunlight etc.

    Seeking Build Feedback - Turbo or GTS

    This is not an ACC issue and relates to the Emergency Stop function.

    Self-parking curb rash

    Why not let the car automatically pull out of the space?

    Seeking Build Feedback - Turbo or GTS

    Are you sure you're not speccing the car for yourself?? Tow hitch in EU / UK is electric and totally hidden but agree that the US implementation is a bit meh (why?). I"ve had 2 Macan EVs on loan and the Bose sounded awful in both for reasons I don't quite understand other than a shoddy...

    Seeking Build Feedback - Turbo or GTS

    Nice builds! Personal choices but: Glacier Blue matrix - not a fan of the blue Ice grey - not a fan Racetex rooflining - worth it if there wasn't a sunroof and therefore makes little sense given the cost Can't decide if you really need a rear wiper which would alter the insulated glass option...

    How to Log In as Main User?

    Don't count on it tbh - 12v reboot is about it unless there is another explanation ( eg. Porsche server related).Taycan owners (myself included) went through similar random things. Software (as we know) is 100% not Porsche's strength.

    MY '26 Info Request (3D Surround View/Kerb Assist vs 2D Surround View 'side' view)

    Not sure that this is correct and neither have surround view (which incorporates side / kerb view). This looks to be front and rear cameras only. In addition to these there should be a camera in each door mirror. 2D Surround view uses 4 cameras - each individually selectable - not two as per...

    European Matrix Lights: some thoughts

    US owners live in hope of regulation change...perhaps but you're correct (you may also get a different DRL setup).

    How to Log In as Main User?

    Try swapping car keys (used to work on Taycans for a couple of random things believe it or not). I'm guessing you've already logged out of the PCM and have good cell coverage? 12v battery disconnect to cold start the 12v systems might help. I don't think there is any option on the PCM to...

    How to Log In as Main User?

    Main user is the primary Porsche ID that you created originally (there can only be one) and all others (5 max) are termed secondary users which would have been created as such when logged in as the primary user on My Porsche App. From the app FAQs:

    Impact of cruising speed on range

    Excellent and confirms what I thought (bizarre outcome otherwise)
  14. W1NGE

    Impact of cruising speed on range

    Depends on the motorway conditions and if you expect recuperation or not. EVs don't perform their range best at a constant motorway speed where there is little or no opportunity to recuperate any energy back into the battery. Rather than enable recuperation leave it off and you'll find...

    Standard 8 Way Seats

    Salesman sniffs a bigger bonus and no logic to his advice! Did you experiment with all the adjustments - most odd not to find a comfortable setting to be honest? Alcantara / Racetex is not ideal and harder to maintain IMHO. I think the comfort seats (either) are the same as per the Macan ICE...

    Standard 8 Way Seats

    For the modest increase in price 14-way are better - remember that it's not just the extra seat adjustment that you are getting but also an electrically adjustable steering column and all features stored (seats, steering column, door mirrors) in Driver Memory (recalled automatically depending on...

    Finally an admission - Axing Macan ICE was a faux pas

    I think that's just political word smithing by Blume - it's a fail IMHO and hence the rush to bring out a new model if only to address waning sales and to recover much lost ground (historically and going forward with the recent EU u-turn). Cayenne / Cayenne EV - several years in development and...

    Electric Sport Sound - equip it or not?

    It's pants (same story with Taycan) - get Power Steering Plus instead.
