A decent first look review of the Macan EV GTS

In the UK the times changed from Summer Tim last Sunday. Despite having ‘change time automatically’ selected the car didn’t change. I tried turning that off and then back on but still kept at UTC+1. The app charging had the optimised charging finish 1 hour later too. Changed that manually. I’ve...

My car is booked in for the rear motor campaign. I asked about the 'battery implementation' update and was told that wasn't required for my VIN / Car. They did say though that there were two others as well as the rear motor one. I haven't noticed an 'issue' with the cover but it is good to see...

My iPhone Air with IOS 26 in CarPlay has the same issue as when Apple released a previous IOS. In CarPlay Siri doesn’t read back a message before sending so you don't know if it’s correct. Last time I downloaded a beta update and that resolved it. He’s anyone else here had the same prob in...

I had a message in the car today saying my key battery was low. I've changed it no prob. But I've had the car 6 months, keep the key in a tin a long way from the car. I've never known a key battery to deplete so quickly. They have lasted over 2 years in other cars. Are others changing their key...

EV-On The Move chargers are Tesla chargers but supposed to be open and suitable for non-Tesla’s. They appear in the Porsche Charging database. I hooked up at a charger in Maghull Liverpool but the car reported that the charging connection was unsuitable. I’d appreciate knowing if anyone has...

I am looking to change my Bridgestone Potenza tyres for All Season. I'm not a performance driver so more interested in quietness and comfort. I find the Bridgestones to be noisy and 'hard'. I've been looking for good All Season tyres. Winter in the southern UK is normally fairly mild and I've...

I see the UK is to provide a 10% discount on new EV’s. But only on cars up to £ 37k, so they will be subsidising predominately Chinese imports rather than European ‘prestige ‘ manufacturers. Still, it won’t damage our residuals or the majority of new EV’s as they are above £ 37,000. So now £ 40k...

I have tried to find a way to force the Sat Nav to use main roads. It always uses narrow country lanes rather than major roads. I’ve tried forcing it by using a stopover on a main road but it just keeps trying to get me to use the lanes to get there - presumably the shortest routes. I’ve tried...

I checked the map version and it was dated 07/06/25 - my car had the dealer system update on the 30 May so it wasn't done then. Has anyone else noticed a map OTA update. If it is the latest update, then they haven managed to solve the incorrect speed limits as I’m still getting 60 on dual...

Interesting article in Autoexpress. Apparently, the software (using AI) monitors the battery for faults and notifies the owner before it becomes a problem, so it can be sorted by a dealer. I wonder if this is because the major issues with the Taycan batteries or similar may be feared to exist in...

Has anybody else tried to update My Porsche in the UK App Store. I rec'd a notification of an update but when I went to the App Store it say - resume - but nothing happens

I realise very few Porsche owners would consider buying a cheap Chinese car, but maybe for a second or third car ‘run about’. I have always had a lingering suspicion that all Chinese made electronic ‘devices’ and cars were capable of reporting back to Beijing- this was made more clear when the...

For the first time today I had passengers in the back. When we stopped they couldn’t open the rear doors - the doors were unlocked according to my panel on the door. I had to get out to open the doors. I looked in the manual and it says that opening from inside cannot be done if safelock is on...

My dealer has just told me my car has Bridgestone Potenza's. Does anybody else in the UK have these tyres and are they Sport ENLITEN ? The Bridgestone UK website doesn't list Sport tyres as being ENLITEN but tyre dealers do offer them in the sizes for a 4S. I ask as Bridgestone also say that the...

OutofSpec Dave did 3 videos of driving their 4 from collection at Colorado to home at Conneticut I really enjoyed them and found them informative. He has also done other Macan 4 reviews, all of them favourable. He has just published a 3 month review and virtually trashed the car, poor handling...

I searched on here for a thread about this but couldn’t find one. Apologies if I missed one. I have seen on other forums complaints about Porsche charging $ 300 / year for Porsche Connect after 3 years. My reading of this is that (perhaps only in the UK) that this free for 10 years. Is this...

I just checked my UK order regards tariffs. I couldn’t see a specific provision covering increases in the Order value, but did notice that there is an “Events Outside Our Control” clause which includes a change in law. Can Porsche increase the order value to include a tariff that was brought in...
