I would never arrive at a hotel with insufficient charge to be able to get to a DC charger. The hotel chargers could be occupied or inoperable. Typically, I go to a DC charger before going to the hotel. If I don’t for some reason, then I want an SOC sufficient to go to a DC charger in the...

I run Waze on Apple CarPlay in the background and use the Porsche app for navigation. I get audible alerts from Waze and, if necessary, just toggle over to CarPlay to look at the Waze map.

We can put this to rest pretty quickly: using as little regenerative braking as possible (by not using the manual brake pedal or the not having regenerative setting “on”) is the most efficient way to drive (ignoring a few other factors, such as the impact of speed or drafting). Regenerative...

The vehicle will tell you when the fob battery is low. I walk by my Macan 5-15 times a day, with comfort entry unlocking the vehicle each time. I haven’t changed the battery since new 14 months ago, December ‘24. I keep expecting the message, but none so far. On our other Macan, my wife’s...

Just a data point: two 2024 Macan 4’s with the latest software installed about 45 days ago. Two ChargePoint level 2 chargers in two different homes in Arizona. Not experiencing any charging errors. I just checked line voltage in home: 122.4 volts at an outlet.

Just a quick update. Had the latest software installed over a month ago on both of my 2024 Macan 4‘s. Zero error messages since then (I did have a few, not many, prior to the new software). just FYI (prior post above), MY 2026 software won’t be installed ever in 24’s and 25’s because the...

100% agree with Joev comments on Innodrive. Although I’d add that for me it is very useful in stop and go traffic. Keeps me from rear ending the car in front.

Drive like you stole it. Or better, Drive it like it’s your last trip.

Ditto. 2 Macan’s, 2 software updates, both charge normally at home. ChargePoint hardwired wall unit.

This has been driving me crazy. My Macan displayed efficiency in units of kWh/100 miles. I don’t like this for two reasons. First, generally larger numbers are associated with better (higher) performance. Not so with kWh/miles (lower is better). Second, I can’t really use the kWh/miles...

The only reason I assumed it might be the software update is because I had the cameras recalibrated for this very issue a year ago and it didn’t help (plus the windshield replacement a year ago). And yet, this is just a guess. Elsewhere in the forum someone posted that the centering was better...

I had my wife’s Macan 4 in for software two weeks ago. Zero issues. Today, I had my Macan in for a windshield replacement due to crack from a rock. They did the software update on it too. No issues post-install, and one noticeable improvement. Previously Innodrive positioned the vehicle a...

Second Macan is in for windshield replacement today and will also get the software update. First Macan went in for software 2 weeks ago. No issues in two weeks on first vehicle. Dealer is likely one of the largest in the world, and is very competent. On a section of road that recently was...

He missed the #1 best tip: just move to a warmer climate for the winter. 😆

My one-year-old Macan is going in for the second windshield (thermal/acoustic glass) replacement in that year. First time was last spring and I was surprised that the replacement was available in just a few days on such a new model with optional glass. Second time, less than a week between the...

My experience is better. I don’t have the detailed data, but anecdotally I’m getting higher rates about 50% of the time on EA stations when my SOC is low and the charging curve would support it. It is, however, a bit of a mystery when I will get it and not: I‘m the only vehicle and I get a...

I went to AI for a bit more information on temperature effects, specifically asking about air density and rolling resistance. Air density is about 7.5% greater at 0 C (32 F) than at 20 C (68 F). Rolling resistance is 15-30% higher at 0 C. So these have significant effects on range.

The update has been reliable, but today as I was charging at EA, this was the battery screen. It continued to charge, was drivable, and it later returned to normal after shutting down the vehicle for a few minutes. So still some bugs in the software.

Free. Yes, only at a dealer. Any dealer should be able / willing to do it. My update took one day (next day because I had other work done, but update was done in one day).

I have yet to see another Macan EV in Phoenix, but I did see a Fiskar Ocean today. That is a unicorn. That owner is screwed. 😆
