  1. 5 Pros & 5 Cons of Macan EV - Evaluative Video by MotorNation

    It seems to me that this has more in common with AI generated drivel than an actual review.
  2. How can I get innodrive after delivery?

    My reading of the specs in the configurator is that Innodrive and Drive Assist are essentially identical and it's just a rebranding. For the UK, though, it seems they have removed the option to have Drive Assist on the RWD and 4 models so you'd need to buy at least a 4S to get Drive Assist.
  3. How long before build do you start getting updates?

    MIne was built last week of March and was at my UK dealer 3rd week of April (somewhere around 21st if I recall correctly). I took delivery a week later.
  4. Turbo - red circle of death, perhaps a fix for my car... but battery idle issue

    I will be speaking to my dealer this week about my 1% problem. Hopefully I can get the car booked in for diagnosis in mid January when I'm back from next holiday and will have even more evidence of the SoC drop after another 2 weeks parked up.
  5. Turbo - red circle of death, perhaps a fix for my car... but battery idle issue

    Even if the SoC is wrong and I accept it's possible, the loss of drive-able range is very real which does imply the loss of charge is probably real.
  6. Turbo - red circle of death, perhaps a fix for my car... but battery idle issue

    In summer I drove down from Manchester to Southampton and parked up for 2 weeks at 68% whilst I went on a cruise. When I got back, the SoC was only 55% which meant I didn't quite have enough range to get to my planned lunch venue on the trip home. So the loss does matter, although not...
  7. Turbo - red circle of death, perhaps a fix for my car... but battery idle issue

    Just to add another data point, just got into mine after 7 days idle. Left the car at 79% and after 7 days when I got in it was 69%. @TurboSpain is correct that the SoC via the app is useless and has been reporting the battery still at 79% right up until I got into the car. Although I...
  8. Macan EV a bit small for our dog?

    Actually I'd forgotten about that, It keeps the base of the boot the same size but increases the space quite a bit at dog head height when doggie sits up. Must give it a go on mine as I almost never have people in the back.
  9. Vodafone tracker renewal cost

    Me too - there was no insurance requirement from any of the insurers that I got quotes from via GoCompare. The car contains a GPS and uplink of location anyway and you can set alerts if it leaves defined locations (I have home set up as a location). Clever car thief's these days use phone...
  10. Macan EV a bit small for our dog?

    I did a test drive in the Q6 and was very impressed. It does have a little more room in the boot which would suit our two dogs (Cocker Spaniel and Border Collie) very well. But then I had a test drive of the Porsche Macan found I was doomed to buy one - it really is that much better and for...
  11. Range changed after recent updates

    In August I did 250 miles on one trip pulling into the charger location still at 25% and 83 miles - this was almost entirely 70pmh motorway driving. Very happy with that. So, it's a little disappointing to hear that the colder weather range is only 250 miles. All depends on speed though I...
  12. Off peak charging

    Mines a Pod Point charger installed in Jan 2021 and it has a scheduler that can be configured via the Pod Point iPhone app. Are you sure yours doesn't?
  13. Off peak charging

    I agree - this is what I do too and it works very well. I set my charger schedule for 23:30 to 05:30 and the car has no schedule set at all, just a max charge setting of usually 80%. Then just plug in the car when you get home and the house charger switches on at the appropriate time and the...
  14. Range planning

    I might be wrong as I've only had one drive post update but my initial impression is that it is switching to the full beam more often/more quickly. Pre Update, I sometimes still had to manually switch to full beam on some dark/empty roads whereas now it's doing it automatically.
  15. Watch out - new luxury package available for UK

    I also notice that in the UK, the Macan RWD and 4 can no longer have Drive Assist/Innodrive optioned. If you want this then you'll need to upgrade to at least a 4s.
  16. Range planning

    I got the software update yesterday and then went on a 55 mile errand. All good although no visual differences I can see in the various displays. A few immediate observations though: 1. Speed limit detection now seems correct - including in locations it definitely wasn't before. 2. The Matrix...
  17. Range planning

    Mine did exactly this in August for 2 weeks and then inexplicably returned to normal working. After a week I called my dealer and had it booked in to be looked at but it returned to normal working on the day it went in. Dealer couldn't find any faults.
  18. My Porsche app: New ‘Online Software Update’ / OTA Function?

    I just force terminated the Porsche App on my phone the the OTA function is active now for me too. It was definitely inactive when I checked a few hours ago.
  19. Does your Macan EV keep SoC stable when left idle for a week or longer?

    My car has this 1% /day loss too but it seems from this forum poll that 69% of respondents don't have a SoC loss problem, so it's not something wrong with the design but our individual cars. I'm going to try out the new major software update (I'm scheduled for 3 weeks time) and then pick it up...
  20. How to ensure you scrape your front splitter

    That's what I do when I notice the Smart Lift hasn't worked. When I haven't noticed I simply scrape the splitter as a lesson to myself. To be fair, the driveway seem to have only one line over it that is low enough to scrape the front in normal mode so mostly I miss it.
