It was not that at all, I have recuperation off. The first time I hit the brake pedal moderately hard, the regen indicator went way past its normal range, but the braking was the same. Only happened once.

Just picked up my 4S with the update. The brake change is very subtle coming to a stop - whatever you were doing to be smooth previously now seems to be smoother, but it isn't magic. Also the first time I hit the brakes from a decent speed, the regen display went very deep, much more green than...

The loaner 2026 Cayenne I just had came with a LOT of bass on the Bose sound system. It was turned all the way up to 9! (Perhaps the Bermester goes to 11?) Setting it to a more reasonable 5 was still more bassy than level 5 in my Macan 4S.

My summer 3.0 m/kwh has dropped to 2.7 in January, but these are all short, local trips with several starting out without regen to clean the brake disks.

It's not so much the EV, but it's the modern cars that have electronic door handles. The Macan has a manual backup built into the same handle, so it should still open from the inside without power. Opening the door from the outside becomes tricky with those flush handles that many newer cars...

If you didn't 3D print the center armrest tray from this post https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/custom-center-armrest-tray.18600/, then perhaps this could be of use as an alternative way of using that space. I've used a Maxpedition Skinny pouch...

We have a smaller umbrella that we stick into the trunk side strap with a shopping bag, but it's not as neat as that. I did also buy one of these to fit in the top door pocket for the drivers door. This is a very small umbrella for actually keeping the rain off when opened, but it fits that...

My opinion is that this is what is going on. Update the core systems to 28.13, followed by a set of OTA PCM application updates to the latest UI. Info such as battery State of Health is likely not available to the UI without the 28.13 update. I don't know how the dashboard UI is handled in...

People seem to have made up this ‘better’ 28.13 where it seems all Porsche did was work out how to install it better and update their installation process to avoid bricking cars. Having a 2-tier software update with the same version number would be impossible to manage otherwise, as you point...

Today, at the post office.

Previously, I've lost 1%/day a few times. Last week, I reconfigured my Dashcam parking mode to turn off much sooner than the 24 hours I had previously (with the hardwire also turning off based on voltage), and I also set it to a low frame rate instead of lower quality. Today, after 3 days of...

Today's walk in the woods - a balmy 43F and a quiet trail!

This is the standard message for leaving the car with the 'keep it turned on' option enabled. Do you get it at other times? It does stick around when you get back in the car, so selecting that message tube and hitting the back button is necessary to clear it to get back the default tube content.

I have a very specific case where my HUD fades out when driving directly into the sun that I found this TI for https://dot.report/bulletins/11022815. I've not noticed the non-HUD problems, as it's hard to notice the interior lighting when driving into the sun! My car is in next week for the...

I used https://www.makexyz.com - it was almost expensive enough to make me think about buying a 3D printer, but then that's a rabbit hole I decided NOT to go down for a while.

I do. I'm currently shopping for a logging USB-C multimeter, and a logging ODB2 plug to track activity over time (self powered if possible) I did check my ODB2 yesterday, and on startup, there's 24 amps going into my 12v battery, and the DC-DC converter is reporting 57 amps of current. So the...

This one seems to have the relevant info about part numbers to replace. https://dot.report/bulletins/11017831

Yesterday, I charged to 75% and unplugged. This morning, car was reporting 78% SOC. A small adjustment after charging is not unexpected - 'overnight' the car's Battery Management system will balance the cells and get a more accurate reading of the SOC. This does get in the way of measuring SOC...

As another data point, I charged to 75% on Jan 5, next day was at 76% after overnight balancing. The app SOC looked stable, but when I got in the car again on Jan 11, SOC was at 69%, and on Jan 12, 68%. I lost about 1%/day in the garage at low 60s F temperature. Macan 4S, delivered in February.

I imagine a multi-step process with tools available. Put a current measurement on the 12v battery to see the current flow when idle - leave for a few days. This will tell you if there's a load that shouldn't be there, and to see that the HV battery is keeping the 12v charged to manage that...
