    What's you tolerance for off center steering wheel?

    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...

    Air suspension alignment changes in various positions

    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...

    App recommends chargers not usable with PCS

    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...

    What's your estimated range with 100% SoC?

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

    Michelin Pilot Sport EV harsh ride

    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...

    Macan 2024 vs 2025 massive consumption difference?

    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...

    How to check SoH

    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...

    Suspension alignment manufacturer values

    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...

    Vibrations during high speed charging with fans on

    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.

    Connection between buzzing from speakers and PCM errors?

    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...

    Tried 22", 21" and 20" impressions from one day

    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...

    Geometry adjustment questions

    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...

    LKA improvement after sensor calibration (per Porsche service campaign)

    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...

    Assistance systems causing dangerous situations (serious)

    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...

    Cabin pre-heating from battery instead of charger

    Hi, we've had some low temps and snow in Poland. I leave my car on the driveway connected to 11kw charger. Noticed it prefers to cheat the cabin from battery instead of grid. What I do: - leave the car connected to the charger in the evening - target SoC is set to 80% and overnight it reaches...

    Off road air suspension setting and ride quality

    Hi, I've used the off road setting on Chrono dial for the first time TBH. Noticed something strange after getting back on flat road - the car "bounced". Going slow on flat surface I felt jumping up/down a bit (like driving on bumps). I was worried to accelerate as the car did not feel stable...

    Air suspension height vs stiffness

    I've noticed (something obvious) that driving with the lowest possible height setting changes this car to something very close to a sport sedan. It's really great and this is my go to mode for city driving. I've been playing with different settings and I wonder... do you have an impression the...

    Someone had to be the first... (bumper scratch)

    Well someone had to be the first ;) I parked at the local mall at the end of an empty parking lot for ~15 mins and came back to this. Turns out some idiot driver tried to park in the next spot, touched my bumper and left. Security cameras caught the whole thing with his license plates so I'll...

    AC/heating strategy for range at low temps

    Hi, we are having 0-5C in Poland at the moment and I noticed the power consumption is up from ~20kwh/100 to ~30kwh/100. This is with AC ON, vents set to AUTO and temp to 22C just like I had when temps were in the 10-20C range. However... when I turn the AC off (there is a button MAX/ON/OFF) I...

    Mobile app says "service - now" after 500 kms

    Anyone had something like this? After 500 kms my mobile app displays something like this . Basically it says "service now" and there is a button to make an appointment. When I click it, the app asks me for a reason (?) and there are several options to pick from including "according to app...
