    Knocking sound when charging

    Has anyone noticed a transient rapid knocking sound when changing? It seems to happen when switching to AC charging after DC charging, at the very beginning of the charging process. It only lasts about a minute and it appears to come from inside the charging port. Otherwise, the car seems to...

    Macan Build Session

    Does anybody know what the “Macan Build Session” is about? Are they going to show you different interesting builds or make you customize a vehicle and then pressure you to buy it?

    Looks like the electric Cayenne is going to be revealed on Sunday! A few lucky ones will migrate to the Cayenne EV forum… lol Wouldn’t it be the perfect time to disclose that Tesla superchargers are then available?!

    Trip data report

    My Porsche app Trip data report, average consumption, for this month… states: “Great”. I thought a higher mi/kWh was better? Appears misleading. Am I wrong?

    Apex Protect GPS system - don’t fall for it!

    When I bought my Macan, I was offered this optional GPS monitoring system by Porsche. I declined, but the dealer offered to cover it. The subscription costs about $1500 for 3 years. I strongly advise against it. Not only it is somewhat redundant, but it is a crappy device. It not only fails to...

    PCM’s App Manager question

    What is the benefit of connecting “the smartphone app with the vehicle” -see attached picture (1) and (2), if I already connected my iPhone to the vehicle in order to use Apple CarPlay -see picture (3)? I have not tried to do it because I am afraid it may mess up the Apple CarPlay connection...

    HUD - what is the white outline on the center circle ?

    Does anybody know what the white outline on the center circle is? The light blue measures consumption during acceleration. The green regeneration. The white outline seems to “expand” to the left as you drive allowing for more regeneration when braking. But what does it represent?

    Most recent My Porsche App update issues

    After downloading the new My Porsche App yesterday, version 15.0.0 (v15.25.14 build 397), setting a Departure time is not longer possible as you get the message: “Something went wrong” “Please try again”. Deleting and reinstalling the app didn’t help. Same with logging out and logging in again...

    Windshield protection

    I optioned the car with thermally and noise insulated glass. Overall, I am satisfied as it really keeps the cabin very quiet and seems to help with the temperature control. Of course, the weather is just starting to get warmer so we will see whether it makes a difference in “Hotlanta” in the...

    Clearplex windshield film

    Is it recommended to place a windshield protection film (Clearplex) or does it interfere with the camera and/or sensors? I had a small rock hit the windshield on the highway and it caused a tiny chip in the glass. I have the thermally and noise insulated windshield.

    Optional stuff (PSMP, Apex protect, ResistAll), worth it?

    Is any of the optional services offered by Porsche worth it? I have usually declined them with my previous cars.
