    Battery cells reset/rebalancing after erratic SoC readings

    Thanks a lot for the details! My car remains plugged in while idle. This wasn't happening last year so it could be related to the last update. I am bringing in my car on Friday for the charge door replacement and summer tire swap, so I will definitely bring this up. I will ask about the SoH as...

    Battery cells reset/rebalancing after erratic SoC readings

    Hi Folks, I am not sure if my issue is similar to what is described here, but I noticed in the last 2 months that I charge my car to 80%, I get the notification that it has charged to 80%, but when I get in the car, the display shows 78%, or this morning, 76%. It drops instantly as soon as the...

    Macan vs Taycan, my observations

    Hi Folks, I had a 2023 Taycan 4S as a courtesy car for over a week while my Macan 4 was getting one of the charge doors replaced. In Canada it looks like the 4S is the "lowest" end model we can get. I didn't have the spec sheet of the car but it had the passenger side screen (distracting and...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Hi Folks, the dealer needs to replace my left charge port hardware. Parts only arriving in 3 weeks though. Not a big deal as I will try to sync it with winter-to-summer tire swap. On a side note, I got a Macan 4 courtesy car that is 99% identical to mine, except it has a HUD and the Electric...

    February 2026 Consumption Stats

    Model: 4 Wheels: 21” Offroad Usual Mode: Normal Regen: Off Location: Montreal/Canada Temperature was -10C or colder for the vast majority of the month. I did not drive much as my car was at the dealer because of stuck manual charging ports. (One was replaced, and now the left side is causing...

    BMW iX vs. Macan EV review by Savagegeese

    It took 3 visits to fix the rear hatch rattle, but now I can say that my Macan 4 has no rattles. It feels like a different car having had rattles for over a year.

    Manual charging door not opening

    Aaand my left charging door is not opening again. This was not replaced. The temperature might have touched -17C but it was around -10C when I got home. No rain or snow, and the roads are dry. The newly replaced right door worked but it's probably a different issue on the left door. I won't...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Hi Folks, I got my car back last night! The work done on the charge ports is the following (lots of testing/diagnostics to figure out what was going on, but I'll list the more important work items below). Note that I had dropped the car off with both charge ports not opening: -verified fault...

    Electric Charge Ports Won’t Open

    Hi, I have manual charge doors that were just replaced today as they failed mechanically (there are various threads about the issue). So I think either charge door type is unreliable on the Macan. I am picking up my car tomorrow to see what work was done . I have a Taycan 4S as a courtesy car...

    Manual charging door not opening

    The dealer called, and they ordered replacement charge door latching mechanisms. The parts should arrive middle of this week, with installation likely for Friday. They also had to adjust my rear hatch again, the latch itself shifted since the last adjustment. Crossing my fingers that this solves...

    Electric Sport Sound - equip it or not?

    Hi Folks, my Macan 4 (without sport sound) is in the shop for various issues, and I got a Taycon as a courtesy car. It has the sport sound optioned (no idea if it's like the Macan sound though). But just driving it for about 45 minutes today, I did enjoy it for a bit. I know it is fake but it...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Hi Folks, I managed to get the left door open, and I narrowed down the issue to the lock mechanism. I had to quickly and firmly press-press-press while locking/unlocking, and at one point there was a mechanical clicking sound, and the door opened. Then when I closed the door and locked the...

    Bose Sound Pack - Opinions

    Hi Folks, I have the Bose upgrade and felt it sounded cheap and awful. But then it's like something switched (or an EQ was enabled or something!) after a few weeks and it really did sound much better. After reading this chat, I would recommend you get a demo of the various sound systems. In my...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Hi Folks, I confirmed it's a mechanical issue. The left door stopped opening yesterday all of a sudden. I charged with the right door no problem. Stupid me, I decided to try to get the left door opened just now by pressing it in and locking/unlocking. Now the right door does not open while my...

    Wireless CarPlay not working

    Hi Folks, confirming that changing the Wifi hotspot password to something strong fixed my Carplay issue today! Carplay had been working well until this morning. I tried deleting my phone from Devices in PCM, "forgetting" the Bluetooth connection on my phone, re-pairing etc. Nothing worked and I...

    Driver (left) side Charging Port Issue

    Quick update from me too: I got both my charge doors opened. It is definitely a mechanical issue on the left (driver's side) charge port, but likely made worse when outside in cold temperatures. The car has been in my brother's garage (around 10-12 degrees C) since yesterday evening. I asked him...

    Manual charging door not opening

    Quick update: I left the car in my brother's heated garage over night (around 10-12 Celsius in the garage) but the charge doors still do not open. My Porsche dealer will schedule an appointment late next week but I don't think I will have enough charge to make it. Fun times.

    Manual charging door not opening

    Aaand now my right door doesn't open anymore. Perfectly sunny day although it is -12 C. I unplugged the car, tested the door a few times and it was fine. I checked the door, the connector etc. There was no ice or snow, just one small, dry leaf that I removed. After a 1 hour drive, the door does...

    Faint high pitch sound (like a vacuum cleaner or jet engine whine) when accelerating and regen braking (front right)

    Thanks for the response! I forgot to mention that my 4 does not have the sport sound option. I will check in the menus to see if it somehow was added/got activated just in case.

    Faint high pitch sound (like a vacuum cleaner or jet engine whine) when accelerating and regen braking (front right)

    Hi, I just noticed a new sound on my 1 year old Macan 4 that wasn't there before. When accelerating, there is the usual lower frequency hum. But under slightly faster acceleration (not even close to aggressive) I now notice a high pitch, scratchy whine. It is not loud, but more of a faint...
