One morning my Apple CarPlay stopped working. There was no update to the PCM or the phone. Tried everything like reseting the PCM, changing hotspot password, repairing the device - nothing. Left it for a week hoping it will go away on its own like most of issues with this half baked car but no...

Hi, I recently did quite the road trip from Poland to Norway. This is about 1200 kms each way, temps from +15C to -15C, elevation changes, ferry trips etc. Here is the trip and some of my experiences, perhaps they can be of help to some of you :) Overall the trip was great, this is a...

Is it just me or have the mobile app and PCM route planner gone totally dumb over the last couple of weeks? It ignores preferred charging networks (IONITY in my case), selects charging stations with way less power when literally right next to them are available chargers twice that fast. On my...

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...

After the latest 28.13 update my navigation with active charging planner stopped informing me during DC charging that the SoC reached the target level and I can continue driving. Instead the target when reached suddenly changes (goes up). At first I though perhaps the target changed based on the...

I’ve had a chance to extensively compare my fully loaded Macan to the newest (J1.2) and a mid-spec Taycan CT. By extensively I means weeks and thousands of kms. For those interested and perhaps cross-shopping between the two models, here is my take: 1) Sport seats with Club Leather in the...

I was surprised to learn from the dealer that Porsche accepts the steering wheel after alignment to be up to 4 deg off center. I was left with something like this and to be honest it bugs me much more than having the steering wheel visibly much more off center. When it is significantly...

Hi, I have not had any experience with air suspension before this vehicle. Have some problems with the car pulling to the left but only at high speeds on highway. I've had suspension alignment done and it's correct but... this is in locked/normal mode. When you lower the car the alignment goes...

I've just had another case where I tried to use a charger recommended by the navigation/app, only to discover it couldn't be activated with the Porsche Charging Service (authorization error after tapping the RFID card). I reported it to Porsche and learned that some charging networks shown in...

Mine at the moment shows 389 kms and it's getting lower and lower the longer I use the car ;)

Hi, my car was delivered on Pilot Sport EV summer tiers on 21" wheels. Had some problems with tire alignment and my dealer sent them back to Michelin. Meanwhile used Bridgestone Potenza Sport and oh boy is my ride much more comfortable. Turns out the EV model of these Michelins is probably very...

I left my 2024 model at the dealer for another round of issues. Got a 2025 loaner with a very similar configuration. I noticed there is a big difference in consumption. I often travel on highways and make the same routes. I've driven over 1000 kms so it's a decent comparison. In similar...

Hi, is there a way to simply check SoH of the battery? I asked the dealer and was informed this is complicated, requires leaving the car for 2 days for full discharge/charge procedure. TBH I'm amazed how with all this EV adoption push there are no laws in EU/USA requiring car manufacturers to...

I'm struggling with the car pulling to the left or right after several suspension and tire alignment procedures done by Porsche. This is a very subtle issue and depends on tire temp/pressure but it's there. They claim most of EV Macans "wander" a bit meaning pull to the left or right. Best they...

Hi, did you notice the whole car vibrating during high speed charging in high temperature with fans on full speed? Is it normal, is it just me or something is off? You can tell by the side mirrors which are shaking and when you touch the plug it vibrates from cooling fans.

Hi, I've noticed there is persistent buzzing sound coming from my bose speakers. It's hardly noticeable when driving and listening to music but you can hear it well with volume down or off. It's something like electric interference or white noise. I think it's louder when doors are open. It's...

Hi, I've had a chance to drive Macan 22" (demo), 21" (mine) and 20" (loaner) in one day. All air suspension, all winter tires and similar cars so it's very comparable. Impressions? There is not much difference between 21 and 22 in terms of ride quality. There is big difference however between...

Hi, my car was often leaning to the right since delivery day. After 5-6k kms my dealer did full suspension geometry (you can do that under warranty up to 10k kms). It showed some red values before (out of factory) and all green after. The car was super stable after that and I think the...

Hi, there are several threads about LKA and other assist systems not working all that well. So... my car was at the dealers for an unrelated matter and turns out there is a service campaign for this. They did a software update and sensor calibration - don't know any more then that. There is...

I enjoy the car a lot but this continues to undermine my driving confidence. I’ve had several instances of assistance systems (lane keep, front cross traffic alert) taking over unnecessarily and creating dangerous situations. Today it almost caused a crash on a roundabout. So far I've...
