We all do. You are not alone in this.
If you read the other threads, all those who have been affected have complained about it here as well as to Porsche (or most have). As when I took the car for the software update, I mentioned it and was told it would get better after the update. It never did!
The impression you have generally given from your first post onwards is you would rather continue to use this function even if it is erratic and blame Porsche; then the judge would be on your side if an accident results.
As mentioned before, there are many threads on this issue before where we...
I disagree. On the contrary, the judge is going to say, 'as you have observed before, it behaves erratically; you should have turned it off. The driver is meant to be in control of the vehicle at all times. This rule applies to even FSD cars like Tesla!
As others have said here, "Turn it off."...
Auto speed recognition is a problem with Macan, more so in the UK.
There are some threads on this issue already. Here is one of them:

Yes, I did experience this when I took a trip to the Furka Pass in the Swiss Alps last summer. On my return, which was a downhill drive, it happened.
I don’t remember the exact numbers. But what I do remember is that I was very surprised that there was more energy than I used for the uphill drive.
Sport Design (SD) package is a big price option.
Agreed. These are just cosmetic changes from outside. No practical benefit for this much price.
21" Macan Design will affect a bit of rage.
Also worth considering is augmented reality HUD.
I agree with @W1NGE about Bose and the 2D or 3D parking assist option.
I have Porsche's basic sound system, and it's pretty good.
Even Kyle Conner of Out of Spec Reviews was surprised how good it is when he reviewed the Macan.
As your aim is the cheapest price, it's worth saving on Bose and...
If you watch any reviews of journalists' Chinese cars, they all say no matter how good they are in all other aspects but as far as enjoyment of driving dynamics are concerned, there is nothing to write home about.
No match to European contenders like Porsche EVs (or even BMW for that matter)...
No, I didn't mean that.
When you saw the higher mileage on the app, and it became lower when you got in the car, then that is probably because you turned the climate function on.
Im from Southport (North of England!).
Liar, your country map says Spain ;)
I know the map comes up automatically, but I wonder how Admin's system gets it wrong.
In the UK our looow speeds in cities is often 20 MPH :D
I don't remember what the speed there was on the motorways, but driving through Furka Pass was one of the highlights.

Good choices, and my two cents from my experience are:
Passenger display is pointless. A passenger can still see the sat nav quite clearly on the main display screen.
From experience, four-zone climate control is unnecessary. My rear passengers never need it, the front ones affect the...
