Hmmm, not ideal. I’m glad it solved the charging problem, but then you lose all the other benefits. If that’s the case, Porsche should release an updated update which is safe for everyone to adopt. Because at this point, I’m still unsure whether I should go ahead and update to VR28.11 (Campaign...

Do you mean that your car was restored to the previous version or just the ECM/ECU responsible for the charging problem?

Have not had that warning. But, according to AI: This warning can be quite startling, especially in a high-tech vehicle like the Macan EV, but it usually points to a "handshake" error between the car's various computers rather than a physical part failure. What is Component Protection? In the...

@nick729 any news from Porsche? Did their engineers find a solution for the charging problem?

Wouldn’t you be worried about someone driving off with your car if you stepped out for a moment while leaving the key in the frunk?

Why would you want to do that?

I really hope they find a solution for your charging problem. Overall, the vehicle is a pleasure to drive. Perhaps you will eventually get to enjoy it for many years and just remember these struggles as a bad nightmare.

Hmmm, my Porsche Mobile Charger came with both cables so I can charge on a 120v or a 240v outlet.

I’ve had it happen to me a couple of times. It resolved after getting out, locking the car, and waiting until the car’s computer shut down (about a minute later). I suspect some of electronic components failed to load during the computer start up.

Not trying to get political, but if someone has an in with the government, a POTUS note in truth social telling the NHTSA to change this “stupid” regulation may be all that it’s needed in the current environment! Lol

That’s an old article from 2022. The US regulations are stricter and require different hardware and software programming. Unless the US softens its stance and grandfathers or gives exceptions to current Porsche models (for which Porsche would need to apply, I believe) I don’t see it happening...

It offers enough protection for that. Said that, I live in Atlanta so I don’t have to deal with snow and mud. I suppose that I would consider switching to the WeatherTech ones if I lived in the north.

I have the Porsche’s OEM. I like the WeatherTech mats and have them on my other cars (Tesla, BMW X6, Honda), but they were not available when I bought my 4S. I thought of buying them when available but I’m happy with the ones I have now. I think I would only replace them with the WeatherTech...

What about Adam Polishes Leather & Interior Cleaner and Leather Conditioner? Do you have any experience with it? I found that their Tire Shine is one of the best.

This discussion reminds me of the one when the iPhone was released. Other phone manufacturers as well as users made fun and/or protested: “What, a phone that is used for browsing, for emails, with apps? I just buy a phone to make phone calls!” “We know how to do phones, Apple doesn’t (Samsung)!”...

Log out of the My Porsche app and then log in again as this may restore your car’s image. It worked for me.

I have noticed the same thing over and over again. I think it’s programmed to recognize average consumption in kWh/100mi (rather than mi/kWh), in which case a lower number would be better. I have contacted Porsche NA twice about this mistake (the wrong use of “Great” for a worse consumption)...

This is how I fixed it back then (see attachment):

Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely worried about this issue and I’m closely following this thread for any news on what caused it and the way it was resolved. For now, I will continue to hold on getting the update since my car is basically problem-free.

I’m not sure whether this applies, but maybe… Location-dependent charging settings in the Porsche Macan can interfere with home charging if not configured correctly , often causing the car to delay charging or fail to start when plugged in at home. Based on user experiences and Porsche...
