In Connections you can choose between Phone and Radio or Carplay. You can't have Carplay and the others - try selecting them and the other options will be turned off. Sometimes when you want Carplay to be active it may not have started or the other options are selected so that a choice has to...

Scheduled Charging has several benefits. The most obvious is that it inhibits immediate charging providing the Schedule is activated (ON) and that Direct Charging (OFF) is not activated. It has a secondary benefit of allowing immediately charging to be controlled by a third party e.g., my...

The three saved positions, in this context of using Mirrors, relate to the saving/recall of the Mirror Settings which are Passenger Mirror (normal), Passenger Mirror (Alternative e.g., "dipped") and Driver Mirror (normal). This means that when reversing, the two Mirror Buttons can be used to...

The Manual does describes the setting of the Passenger Mirror when R (reverse) is selected. However, the Manual could have explicitly said that there are three saved positions that can be recalled. So that when reversing, you can switch between normal and dipped using the two buttons. A...

Also in 14.0 is a change to Direct Charging. Previously with a Scheduled Departure set, raising the level of charge required above the current value, would trigger charging to start immediately e.g., when preconditioning, so that range could be preserved by input from the Wall Charger. Now the...

Cost of buying will be higher from April for everyone because of increased VED - more so for ICE. Cost of a lease or contract hire includes the cost of VED over the agreement period e.g., over three years new registrations after April 1st will add £830 to the agreement for a Macan EV and...

I have been wanting to always be able to precondition my car from the My Porsche App and I understand that the App sends/receive information to a Porsche Service (Server) via a phone's mobile or wireless (internet) communication and communication is made between this Service (thru' Vodafone) and...

Ubitricity is 100% owned by Shell. They say ”ubitricity is one of the leading providers and operators of innovative public EV charging solutions” and “It is easier and more cost-effective for EV drivers to use long dwell times to charge at fast or lamppost charging points (AC)“. That also say...

In the UK, whilst it is true that the increase in the year one VED rate doubles for ICE cars from the 1st April 2025, there is a similar increase for all Porsche BEVs in years two to six because the premium (over £40,000) “stealth tax” e.g., £410/year for five years, also applies to all premium...

In the UK, new car ICE sales (equivalent to many of the Porsche ICE range) after 1st April 2025 will have a year one VED rate of £4,680 or £5,490 on top of the price that already has 20% VAT added.

IONITY is a joint venture of the car manufacturers BMW Group, Ford Motor Company, Hyundai Motor Group, Mercedes-Benz AG, and Volkswagen Group with Audi and Porsche, along with BlackRock but the payment and charging options offered by each car brand are not all the same, so YMMV. The PCS Plus...

The passenger mirror tilts down in reverse and is programmed by first selecting R and then adjusting for the tilted position that is saved for next time. When you reverse there are several situations: back to an obstacle e.g., a garage door or back next to the curb e.g. to avoid curbing a...

We have rural areas - where internet access is a little patchy at best. So how do you pre-condition the car without having to open the doors without internet access?

I bought a Macan 4S in December 2024. Dealers had "liimited stock" to choose from. Porsche have a high finance rate of 10.9%. The Lexus RZ 450e was also available from "limited stock" at UK Lexus Dealers. The Lexus has a finance rate of zero percent and a £4,500 contribution if you take PCP...

There were problems with communicating between My Porsche and the Porsche Service yesterday evening and also on Thursday around 6:30pm when I wanted to use the App.

I have three choices when preconditioning: A) Use battery whilst plugged in e.g., using overnight stored energy, previously charged at a lower cost B) Use battery whilst not plugged in e.g., away from home, because it is needed now C) Wall Charger supplies additional power whilst plugged in...

There is a problem with the backend application (server) that prevents sending vehicle requests.

In the UK, from experience of just selling one, people also don't want used "ordinary" EVs. They also don't want EVs for many reasons: change for change sake or because their mates tell them that they would be foolish to have one based on hearsay, etc.

Interesting fact: SQiD stands for Single Question in Delirium, a tool used to identify delirium in medical patients. OK, so it's a different spelling, but for Macan Owners "delirium" might be a valid state to be in when waiting for software updates.

Scenario: Last night my car charged to 80% and I also have Battery Saving ON so normally the battery charging is stopped at 80% My Wall Charger controls charging by setting a departure time/date in the future e.g., 16.01.2025 22:35. I want to preheat the cabin, so I turn on Preheat in the My...
