There seems to be confusion here.
On the Exit screen you can click the switch to leave the car running. This warns that the car is not locked AUTOMATICALLY. You can absolutely lock the car manually when you are outside the car
The pre climate is not required for any of this. Click the switch...
"I could only find a charger to give me 100kw, so this car is likely only good for around town" Seems like a bold statement to make for a 280 mile range car (EPA) that can charge faster if you don't just head for the Tesla chargers!
Someone in Canada(?) had a problem with no-regen happening - I think it was sticking in the mode where it uses the brakes at startup to keep them clean. How they got that fixed may be documented on this forum if you can find it.
The spoiler deployment speed chart is around here somewhere too -...
Based on the context from the screenshot, that looks like the 12v battery.
Unless there’s some aftermarket traction battery available that no-one has mentioned here.
This has been mentioned on other battery loss threads. The car's BMS is using power to balance cells as part of it's normal operation - and this generates heat in the battery.
In this case, it never stops balancing, and does this every night, losing 1% each night as it does this continually...
Mainly short trips - 2 longer ones
Model: 4S
Wheels: 20”
Usual Mode: Normal
Regen: Off
Location: Seattle area
Temp: Warm spring weather
Including 1 trip at 4.3 and a very short one of 2.0
The State of Charge range test got 343 miles on a Macan 4 with 20” tires at 70mph (112 km/h). That’s 3.6 miles/kwh
The BMW is in the same general range of low 3 miles/kwh as the Macan for day to day summer driving. Small differences can make these numbers change a lot though, the consumption...
Why did you pick 3 hours? The Taycan instructions say 6.5 hours, and the very recently issued Cayenne uses 1 hour. I’ve never seen 3 hours mentioned, and I’ve always used the longer time, preferably overnight to give it enough time for the balancing process to do its work
There seems to be a law for online EV discussions: Eventually, every thread ends up arguing about One Pedal Driving.
My annoyance with many OPD discussions is that most people online, like this review, call this 'regen braking', when the 2 are different, but tied together in most cars - but not...
I do get asked about the Frozen Blue a lot. It's not a big deal, as this isn't the most 'interesting' car I've owned. My BMW Z8 got a LOT of attention wherever we drove, and with the roof down, people talked to us everywhere.
I'm sad that cars are now almost all some sort of white/black/shade...
This thread has been tracking the Google Maps app usability for some time
https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/new-google-maps-now-worth-using.25406/
After the latest Google Maps update, it did for me for a minute or 2, and then CarPlay went away entirely. Don’t know if it’s related, I will investigate a bit more
Edit: The second time, CarPlay kept working for the whole short trip.
This is very clear that this is simply updates to the PCM. I've received some of those for the Macan - yay, a YouTube update!
My recent full reset also caused a message to popup about navigation map updates being available.
Edit: I needed to update my Wifi settings, and then reinstall some...
I can't imagine Porsche has made innovations in this area for the 2026 model (this seems to be a standard across all modern Porsches, except for the fuse locations that are model specific, and unlikely to be different for the 2026 year)
There's this thread for general use of the dashcam prep...
