    Software updates - why is Porsche so far behind.......?

    It's like saying there is no world hunger because your fridge is full. If you ask chat for a summary of reported software issues on this forum alone you will get a very long list. Beginning with many reports of mobile app having problems connecting to the car, plug & charge issues, lots of...

    Chinese software & charging test

    Well, it's a bit like saying how is a Honda Civic better than a BMW M3? ;)

    Software updates - why is Porsche so far behind.......?

    I think some people are stuck with a vehicle for the duration of a lease. Not everyone have means to just swap cars like shoes. I think this is a testament of Porsche service centers failing to resolve these issues and hence ongoing frustration. This is a forum for enthusiasts, what do you...

    Software updates - why is Porsche so far behind.......?

    Calm down ;) I"m not defending Tesla in any way and I bet you are right. Just saying not all Teslas have these problems just like not all Macans have issues. Stories of Macans almost causing an accident are here on the forum and I've had a situation like that with assistance systems before the...

    Software updates - why is Porsche so far behind.......?

    This was not the point I was making but let go this route - there are 10 mln Teslas in use? vs 50k Macans? I would bet you if there were as many Macans given current track record of this car this would be a disaster for Porche.

    Software updates - why is Porsche so far behind.......?

    I totally get you point and share your frustration. Some people here are overprotective of their core identity. Fact is Porsche is failing to meet reasonable expectations of many customers - especially those who switch from other brands or compare to what is a current standard on the market -...

    Software updates - why is Porsche so far behind.......?

    You could say he got a lemon Tesla and switched to good Macan. There are similar stories in the other direction with lemon Macans that "try and cause an accident due to software issues in basic driving related systems". I'm sure not all Teslas have these problems as I've driven many without...

    all you need to know

    This is an interesting video with a lot of data supporting many discussions here. The only thing I was sceptic was this whole "AI manages you battery health" ;) Somehow the whole software aspect does not inspire my confidence.

    Electric Range

    First EV? ;) In heavy winter assume it's half what's advertised.

    January 2026 Consumption Stats

    This is really nice, can you share avg temps and model year of your car? Given your highway trips I would be happy with these figures in summer. My todays trip with outside temp -10C and 140km/h on highway resulted in 36kw/100

    Most recent My Porsche App update issues

    It seems there are more issues like that - my usual charger is visible in the app but suddenly stopped being visible in the PCM and it recalculates the route immediately after receiving it from the app.

    Unstable geometry/pulling - any suggestions?

    I’m looking for advice or similar experiences regarding problems with suspension alignment. TL;DR the car pulls to the side and feels unstable during highway speeds, acceleration, and braking. The steering wheel slowly but surely goes off center more and more. Despite multiple repair attempts...

    Front (air) suspension cracking sound over speed bumps

    I feel for you having the same experience. At first, they weren't able to reproduce the issue - it only occurs when braking just before hitting a bump. If you drive over them without braking, you might not notice it at all. After this explanation they reproduced it with almost ever car on the...

    2026 Software Update via Dealer - What does it do exactly?

    Really? I would be very much surprised if ANY substantial update was released for MY2024/2025.

    Dust cloud in unpaved parking lot

    This bulletin shows their approach to such problems. "In the event of a customer complaint" tell it's by design and perhaps the customer will go away. "In the event of customer escalation" admit OK there is a way to fix it. They call it "subjectively unpleasant function" so as not to admit...

    2026 Software Update via Dealer - What does it do exactly?

    The SoH would be great. Have to say I'm really curious how is the SoH after one year, 30k kms and frequent fast charging (like 2-4 a week).

    Power Steering Plus - anyone optioned

    I compared the loaner without this option to my car with this option and honestly there is not much difference. I would even go as far as to say the steering precision was a bit better without this option.

    Impact of cruising speed on range

    This is exactly why on Taycan you can set it to auto which is the best option. Not sure why they forgot about it in Macan.

    Long trip / cold start

    I think a lot of people overthink this. This is especially true in winter as there is no better way to calculate when to charge, how to charge, how to preheat etc than using the route planner. You simply cannot do it on your own and take into account things like elevation change with sudden...
