Yeah, didn't want to go into details, but when I think backport engineering I'm including big money and risk for all the testing and certifications, more bug fixes. Its just the way I think as a system architect/lead engineer that routinely explained to business or marketing managers the impact...

Thanks for the clarification, from earlier posts I was under the impression that some grids were out of spec and it would be hard to argue lemon law for that.

Backporting is a common software term that probably only someone familiar with the nuts and bolts of development has heard. It is actually a industry standard, as it can cost big money to backport. Not an easy business decision. It is like moving from hardware that uses ARM processors to...

Is Porsche legally required to operate on out of spec grids? If not, then what is the basis for any legal or lemon law action (the car is not broken)? Asking for a more disciplined/precise German friend :)... One may have to direct legal action at the service provider, I wouldn't expect any...

Christmas tree doesn't seem to be noted here, or is rare. https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/vr28-13-software-update.24409/

There is another thread about problems with home charging after the Macan software update. Seems the updates make the Macan more sensitive to overvoltage. Line voltage can vary from time to time...

Just to be more complete: So called 240 V Real world USA has a lower limit slightly below 220 V. Much of the population actually gets 110V per leg nominal, 220 line to line. Where others here report about 9.5 kW charging rate, I get 9.1 kW due to the lower voltage. Isn't there also a...

According to Grizzl-E classic documentation, the basic dumb EVSE has an overcurrent monitor and throws a fault when current draw is more than set by the DIP switches. I think the feature is required to get certified and EVSEs that have that sticker would have something similar. When it throws a...

I have a 4S and recently had a 4 loaner for a day. The throttle response is similar but the 4S is more satisfying, feels more responsive and lite on its toes. The 4S has rear wheel steering and PVT. RWS makes for a more fun drive while a big help navigating narrow city streets and parking areas...

Just a reminder this this 50%/100% setting just sets the EVSE current available parameter that is sent to the car It is up to the car to pull current up to that limit. When a car busts that limit, the EVSE should shut off the charging power (open the power relay contacts).

If your service provider won't address this, I would look at so called power line regulators or conditioners and feed your EVSE with its output. I think 45 amp rated ones are available for about $500 US but require professional installation.

Have the figured out how to keep their motors from burning up yet?

Yeah a yellow light that looks white would explain it.

This may be irrelevant or I may have missed something here but, when you plug in the portable charger into an outlet, I think the white power light should eventually turn green to indicate when it is ready to charge. When you plug in the car, the indicator may first turn yellow and then flash...

I think you'll find reports scattered in this or another thread that the EVSE doesn't mater. The dumbest EVSEs have the fewest issues, however.

Its been about 10 F here for weeks and my updated 4S home charges fine. It always took longer than I'd expect to make the connection and start charging, but it may be several seconds longer now.

Specifically for the Macan.... drive it like you stole it, enjoy, secure loose things so they dont fly around and smack you in the head :) Seriously, ONE piece of advice: As with any EV, there is a lack of road and engine noise, so it is so easy to bust the speed limit. By the way, that can...

Yeah, I noticed a bit more slow down (regen) when off the throttle. Most noticeable down hill.

Your assessment is consistent with mine. The lane keep changes are subtle and does not seem to produce the anxiety the previous version did. The "keep the hands on the wheel" monitoring also seems to be more subtle and not so much in your face. Beside the smoother brakes, there seems to be...
