The standard matrix light, tinted and blue all have the same startup 'sequence' if you can call it that - a glow from the centre to the outside, very subtle and you wouldn't notice it unless you knew about it: see video on the configurator...

Where does the radiator air go if installing that new cover, it just flows out of the wheel wells like a normal car? I imagine there is negligible difference in cooling given the car only needs to dump max ~30kW of heat during rapid charging (Compare to an ICE car radiator dumping 100's of kW)...

Looks about right, matches my experience below. Values in blue are measured, black calculated based on the range test video & porsche consumption data: I would say my 86mph @ 5C is equivalent to your 80mph at -5C, then your 22C cabin heat took you down a notch to 2.0m/kWh!

This was true before EV specific tyres were introduced - to compensate for the added weight and abrasion EV tyres have higher silica content, a by-broduct of which results in the tyre remaining soft below 40F and therefore remains grippy where traditional tyre grip falls off a cliff. I...

Have also been looking at the CC3 but non-sport version for 20" 235/55 and also the Continental All Season Contact 2. Looks like the CC3 Sport is a good choice and miles better than the non-sport, but consider if you really need an all-season tyre? My thought process below: I've replaced the...

52k will be trade in price rather than sale price, and that was probably the US equivalent of webuyanycar.com?! e.g. Mine was 88k but trade in is 67k - 12 months old, 13k miles, 24% loss. Also consider almost all new EV's in the UK are business buyers not Private (dealer said 95% business, 5%...

Not seen any downsides to IOG controlling the A3 yet - only that it seems to be more reliable. E.g.: The charger waits to receive a schedule from IOG before dispensing to the car. So when you plug in during peak hours the charging process does not start immediately and you get an error...

Is the puncture repairable? Repairs can be made on the flat section of tyre, not the curved shoulder. Could then get an internal patch installed at a tyre fitters. Personally I plugged mine myself with a slime kit on Amazon - your choice. Failing that, stick some branded part worns on for the...

Can you comment any more on these specifically? The yellow car where? What makes innodrive smoother? Innodrive acceleration when braking in response to other cars? (I find it brakes excessively hard when the car in front brakes) Lane keep assist? e.g lane centreing improvement? (not...

IOG controlling the car is super buggy due to how there is no button to start charging in the app directly. Instead, they add a departure schedule about a week ahead to stop the car from charging, and then turn the schedule off when they want it to charge. However the porsche app connection is...

Very cool, I will add to this thread as there was no communication about the increased traffic sign recognition. The MY26 Q6 gets these features too. What else will Macan get in common with Q6? We need a side by side comparison really... Any volunteers? 😅 Side note: the 3D assistance view is...

Esteemed Macaners (Macaneers?), I thought it would be useful to compare the Macan VR28.13 update with the Q6 KD2 update to see if the updates were aligned or if there are any differences. It would be great if you can add anything I may have missed, maybe there are some undocumented changes too...

What is this peak rate you speak of? 😁 I know it will end in January and we will only be allowed 12 hours per day total, but until then...

I will perform a test and report back! Although despite there being approx ~10C difference in starting temp prior to pre-conditioning - even in August it still had to heat the battery from 20 to 30C. In November its 10 to 30C. Conversely I find winter is better for rapid charging as the car...

Digital key is baked into the PPE platform, e.g. Audi Q6, A6. It was part of the Macan update roadmap long ago: The £60k base Q6 has it, ergo all Macans with comfort access have the hardware installed too. Audi have been the guinea pigs before being released to Porsche. It had a LOT of bugs...

In support of the above and against previous posters saying preconditioning isn't worth it: If the start SOC was the same the difference would be maybe 17 minutes saved? At the cost of 2kWh, 80p. Without preconditioning the ENTIRE charging curve is derated: ideally you pre-condition and plug...

For those of us with Andersen chargers they have now added compatibility with IOG. All chargers Including A2 from 2023->on. I used to have IOG control the car instead of the charger, and as as we all know, it is super unreliable and will charge the car outside of the arranged off-peak slots...

Great to hear, I've had the same experience but very infrequently need to override it. I just put the tardiness down to generally all high beam assist systems being a bit pants. Now if you told me they lowered the high beam activation speed from 38mph, I would book the update immediately!

When you say switching to stronger beams, is that while dimming for oncoming cars? I've not got the update myself yet. I've noticed while it's dimming segments for oncoming cars the strength of the otherwise lit segments is much lower than when the road is clear - then all zones fire up and the...

Hmm, I think some things get lost in translation in these German to English articles. They throw in passenger compartment, but then directly contradict themselves saying the heater "directly heats HV components" This article is written like it was explained to them in English and puts it to bed...
