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...

It's hard to find anything definitive and have been trying to piece it together, would love to see a schematic! These exist for the Taycan but not for Macan. However we know some things: The IPB (under the rear seats) has a PTC heater in it solely for heating the battery/motor coolant. When...

I think this lines up with the new MY26 feature change from "Innodrive with Active Lane Keeping" to "Drive Assist". "Follows the lane independently" - Drive Assist will allow hands off driving? Innodrive already has very good lane keeping so I assume it was just missing the attention sensor...

Just to add to this I noticed the behaviour of the 12V charging logic while wiring up a dashcam: After operational readiness is turned off, 12V remains powered at 14.4V, so the HV battery is still charging the 12V battery. After 30 mins this turns off and drops to whatever the 12V battery...

It's the heat pump (AC compressor in reverse) So if the outside is below freezing it can take some bit of time to get fully up to temperature, I would say no more than 1 minute though on mine - 5 minutes seems excessive!

Beyond a joke at this point! Does anybody NOT have issues with the electric charge ports?!
