The US is something I’ve always used as a quality measurement regarding the excellent customer service it has across the states, no matter the business category. But seeing the unresponsive dealers being consistent with almost all the issues involving NA customers is really surprising to me...

This has also been confirmed by the head of service at my dealership. Since my car was in service for months without being driven, he specifically told me not to use the app so the car could stay “asleep.” He also made sure to switch it to “private mode” so I wouldn’t be able to check it in the...

This is obviously very low. I’ve charged my car at -1°C (30°F) and still managed to pull at least 60-100kW on a 360kW charger until the battery reached higher temperatures. SoC was between 15–30%. That said, I would tend to agree with the comment above. It is probably worth first checking...

I couldn’t disagree more regarding the noise-insulating glass option. If you try it yourself in the configurator, you can clearly hear the difference at 100 km/h. And if that’s not convincing enough, I can personally vouch for it. I had it on my own Macan, and after driving several loaners such...

Just found some photos that were for the service department. This was on the higher end of the “cold spectrum”.

Yes, between +1C and -3C

It sounds really low. I drive on highways a lot, barely used my innodrive and drive basically like any other ICE-car with studded 20” tires and have a range of about 360-400km at 80%.

Amazing, thank you so much! Really appreciate it!

I would be very grateful if you could point me in the right direction! I never actually tracked my previous car either, I didn’t even know this existed back then.

Out of curiosity, is anyone in the EU able to use the “Track Your Dreams” function? I spoke with Porsche Germany and they had a list of supported countries (such as the US and UK), but Sweden wasn’t included. Thanks!

I am treating this build mainly as if it were my own, and I would want the best for myself, so please bear with me. Passenger screen – This option is mainly used for the Asian and US markets. It’s usually something salespeople make you feel like you’re “missing out” on, but frankly, you’re not...

I just remembered that only a week ago my Porsche Center was marketing their “Black Edition” Cayennes and had an interview with one of the sales reps. When they talked about the different “benefits” (read: mumbo jumbo), one of the USPs was that the 14-way seat is the most comfortable option...

This argument is completely nonsensical. Porsche has never marketed OTA updates as a core pillar of their brand, yet people cross-shop them with Teslas and bafflingly assume they should function the same way. There is a massive difference between demanding that basic, essential functions work...

My five cents is that since the Macan is the entry-level model and attracts a much broader customer base, it also comes with a wider range of expectations and feature demands that traditional Porsche buyers typically don’t prioritize. Personally (and I’ve said this countless times in every...

Yes, exactly like that. One hand on each side and pull towards yourself and it should come off. Little force is needed but do not be excessive in it. After that it should be like a ”black panel” behind it with the latch.

This is something I’d recommend everyone on this forum push their dealers to do. They’re obliged to provide a loaner for an issue this significant, It’s really the least they can offer. You’ll save miles on your own car, and you may even be able to charge it as well. It might be a bit less...

Just out of curiosity, has anyone taken a loaner (Macan EV) from your dealer and tried charging it to see if it works?

No need to wait until then. The head of the service department gave me a tip in case you ever need to open it manually. You can gently press with your fingertips on the inside of the painted part of the charging door and remove it. Inside, there’s a small latch you can press that forces the port...

I do tend to agree that Power Steering Plus isn’t really important on this car compared to a 911 (This can be argued that it removes the "sporty feeling" as well on a 911). However, I want to reiterate what you already mentioned in your post: definitely option RWS. It feels like a whole...

It seems looks like markings from other keys! Try putting other keys not in the same pocket as your car-key and it will probably help a lot! My key looked as new as it could with the occasional three year old throwing it like an American football.
