Well, it does seem that my advisor at PofNS had the right information, but jumped the gun by a full month! Glad it is here (well, next week), the adaptor is at no charge, and that soon enough we can do plug and charge through the Porsche app. Also nice that route planning can be done through nav...

Well, I have to say sorry to everyone: I was punked by Porsche of North Scottsdale! After some back and forth, my salesman called to say that the service advisor jumped the gun. Blah, blah, 2026..., meow, meow, software update..., yada yada, working on it. Didn't really care too much about...

Got a call from my dealer (Porsche North Scottsdale) yesterday that on Monday I can call service to order my complementary NACAS adaptor, and that Porsche access will follow in a week. Didn’t post immediately as I figured I would be the 3,621st to do so. Great news as this increases the number...

I think I dodged a bulllet when I caught a stone on my Macan three months after delivery. My insurer "preferred" Safelite, but in the US, we have the option to have it repaired at the shop of the insured's choosing. I wanted the OEM glass, and felt that Porsche would recalibrate more accurately...

Don't miss Sea Chest restaurant in Cambria at the bottom of Big Sur. Continue inland for ½ hour to Paso Robles for some great Rhone style wines and great food (sea chest very "coastal unpretentious", Paso has a wider range of options). Plus, a spectacular view on 46 heading back. Avoid 46 east...

Thanks for the info- glad to know it does this. Arizona has a LOT of elevation change... Now to figure out how to populate it with EA stations (and someday, Superchargers). Now, to get certificates working so I'm not fiddling with credit cards at EA stations. Seems to be baffling the dealer...

Wow- I would have rejected the loaner. What sort of Visigoths would do that with an EV to a customer? That is so, shall we say "Yugo" of the dealer! Shame on them. But the most well known blunder is never go on a road trip when the indications are that you will "just" make it. I've had EV's now...

Speaking of which, only printed manual I got was for the gas version- covers basically nothing about an electric Macan. Sure there is the online one (which is clunkier to read than the printed (ICE) one, if that's possible. I actually like to read a manual cover-to-cover, but online just sucks...

Wow- this could really shake things up. So many places out my way (Arizona) with no charging other than Tesla. Right now there is exactly one place to charge for me gong from the Phoenix area (where I can charge at home, so don't need anything), to my mom's place south of Tucson. Wonder how fast...

Have the 20"- Pirrelli Scorpion combo as supplied by Porsche. Perhaps not a sexy as the 22", but very comfortable and quiet. Scorpions same as on a now disposed of Range Rover. Pretty good in general, although on both cars I feel there is subtle train-tracking on grooved concrete highways (not...

Phantom braking on Auto Pilot in a Tesla MY (and owner of the company) was a big reason we switched vehicles- very scary on a freeway in rush hour. That said, the inability of your car to be fixed suggests it is a lemon. We had a Range Rover diesel that developed unfixable emissions issues, and...
