forums by their nature spend a lot of time discussing "room for improvement" - so I'd like to call out a recent "small victory" with big implications
in the better late than never category Porsche's roll out, and addition of the Tesla Supercharger network has been well done…
this is regardless...
Hello all,
this post is to simply share some long term observations as I now have the opportunity to swap between a Macan 4 EV and Macan Turbo EV on a daily basis…the options are not quite the same but both cars are well optioned and equipped and I've noticed some concrete differences…which I'm...
this is a minor issue but a reminder as to how user experience/intereface _MATTERS_
and honestly I have no idea how a casual EV user would know what to do…
was charging at EA today - it worked!!! so yeah - but I'm tootling along and suddenly it just "stops" charging - no feedback - no errors -...
yeah the FUD'sters were mostly FUD - it's a well done implementation - works even if your phone is dead!!
I'm looking forward to this in future Porsche models - I'm more convinced than ever there is new hardware embedded in the vehicle for this new feature - _IF_ there is a retrofit it would be...
I've tracking Porsche's for 14+ years - the _BEST_ car skills instruction I've received is rally school mud/gravel/ice driving skills - where do you get such instruction/practice?

this is an entertaining video comparing a Model Y vs. Macan 4 - it doesn't tell us anything we don't know - but it Porsche problem in a nut shell…it's the price stupid!
the only thing wrong with Porsche's EVs is the price!
TLDR; it works and works well! The Lectron adapter is a worthy substitute if for some reason you simply can't get Porsche to give you one!
gory details:
I received my Lectron NACS to CCS Adapter w/Interlock | Vortex Plus - you know the one Porsche is rebranding but can't seem to actually ship...
Taycan owner's are getting this notice…

Porsche continues it's strong record in the realm of EV charging…
where is this 11 kW onboard charger they discuss? mine only goes to 9.6!
one of the great "features" of software is it's malleable - and can change - but what changes to put in software and then subsequently release is a difficult undertaking. Modern companies plan software changes using all sorts of data - but most importantly they harvest feedback directly from...
Team,
for purposes of finding Tesla Superchargers the best app I've found is as follows:
https://apps.apple.com/app/id1056496235 (not sure if there is an Android version)
it's the app version of this website:

this is _NOT_ an official Tesla app - but it lists...
seriously this is 2025 and starting to tic me off!!
Why is my pathetic rental Kia K4 (a horrible sedan by any measure, the hard plastics alone and my phone sliding around in it like it's a ice rink nearly drove me mad in less than 3 days)
the backup camera in the K4 is: high resolution...
Over the years new EV owners inevitably end up with a series of questions - this FAQ is an attempt to demystify the EV Charger (EVSE)
this FAQ will lean heavily on my personal experience/knowledge of North American EV chargers - much of this applies in the rest of the world, but if you're not...
Cayenne EV is trickling out - we know active suspension (yeah!!!!) - great performance
but this is the first "new" EV post NACS transition plans…
will this be the first EV in Porsche's North American line up w/Native NACS port(s)??
vote now because it matters…so so much.
say it isn't so!!

Tesla's gotten away with the illusion of auto-pilot/self driving for too long…I'm hoping this an other "reality checks" resets expectations
but I'm probably naive
