I got my car back after 4 weeks. It took 2 weeks for Porsche to figure out the HV battery control unit was faulty. Took another week for it to be delivered from Germany and another week to fix it and calibrate it!

Exactly as you said. The specialist Porsche Assist AA could not figure out either. At least he checked the wall charger was working properly. Vehicle has been towed to Porsche centre last week and they still haven't figured out what is wrong. There are not sure whether the battery is faulty or...

Thanks but I can't even start the car let alone taking it to Porsche! At the mercy of AA now.

My Macan EV wouldn't start this morning. Last night it had 30% power and hooked it up to charge overnight. This morning it was charged only up to 50%. I could not charge any further. Then I realised my charger Hyper volt was off power. I reset the charger power at the fuse box. My charger got...

Hi, in the My Porsche app, go to Accounts > Contact and Help > Report an issue.

Hi, Could you kindly explain how to manually precondition once you turned the car off. I had to manually precondition yesterday but when I got out and shut the door, I presumed the car would automatically turn off and lock. So, I had to close the door slightly and kept the car 'on'. Also, can...

Hi, what does the blue and green dots represent? Thanks.

In the UK, until 8th January 10 pm it was fine and I was able to plug in to my car. When I woke up on 9th, the app showed the same battery percentage as before but the car was fully charged. Unable to connect to car until 10th January 9pm through the app. I would not have minded at other times...

Thanks very much. I thought PCS only works with Ionity and Porsche. I would be interested to know whether it would work with Gridserve as they have quote a lot of Ultra fast chargers everywhere.

Surprised to hear that. Ionity at Maidstone and Milton Keynes certainly didn't activate P&C. At Maidstone Ionity, I struggled as my RFID card didn't arrive that time and Ionity doesn't offer to pay via contactless. At Milton Keynes, I used the RFID card.

Fantastic comparison David. "Tesla makes an excellent EV and a mediocre car. Porsche makes an excellent car and a mediocre EV". :) BTW, in the Macan, you can download a web browser and you can watch Netflix, Prime or whatever you watch at home while you are charging away from home.

Yes, I did own sedans and one of the reasons I didnt like them was because of the lack of rear wipers :) IMHO, rear wiper on Macan EV looks better than the Macan ICE.

Heating the rear screen or using water repellent is not a replacement for a wiper as otherwise rear wipers would not exist. For me, it is a must as it clears the rear window instantly and I feel lot safer!

Similar amount for me too. Insurance for my previous Macan ICEs were same like the rest of the cars. Why is it so expensive and probably extortionate in the US?

Yes, the front passenger side seat belt keeps hitting making annoying noise. I kind of tucked it on the passenger seat to keep it hitting on the sides.

I agree the bass is much better in the Macan EV compared to Macan ICEs. May be I am listening to much better quality music with the free 5G SIM :)

Meridian in RR Evoque definitely sounds much better than Bose in Macan. I think Bose is over hyped. However, I feel the Bose in the Macan 4 sounds better than in my Macan ICEs. May be because, Macan 4 is connected with free 5G SIM, I am listening more to internet radios with much better sound...

I use the preheat option few minutes before setting off and it is fantastic. Windscreen and back window are defrosted, cabin is warm and seat(s)& the steering wheel get warmed as well. Much faster than blowing hot air in my ICE Macan.

Thanks KR45, update worked and for the first time I enjoyed the inno drive since I picked up my Macan 4 two weeks ago.

Hi, my dealer in Kent warned about installing any 3rd party dash cams as he said if this causes any electrical fault/short then it would void the warranty. Well, Macan 4 is fully electric and so I did not want to take any risk :)
