Without dedicated equipment and battery design insights you are unable to measure true battery capacity, state of charge and load. Apple for example only excepts their own health assessment for battery replacement under warranty. To measure disappearance of charge from a High Voltage (HV) I...

Absolutely, but here lies the problem. Like you we all assumed that documenting and reporting clear faults would result in fixing the problem. Drive system errors like in my case are pretty straight forward to deal with, not so much for other faults. It's so much easier with the help of others...

No, I had drive system failures in my last right from the start . They blamed it on the tracker, but this theory turned out wrong so they took car back. Both Macan developed significant problems after charging at faulty Porsche charger. Power surge alone would have left many Porsche stranded so...

Because I ordered a new Porsche and want to understand what would/can trigger battery drainage. Also, they never confirmed/specified fault of my car. They just took it back.

Tracker is still live. No movement on tracker and no new driving event on Porsche app. Tracker would notice if they moved out of parking spot. Intermittent connection to car, battery status now updating very frequently, preconditioning off. Something changed, could this be drained 12V?

Handing your Macan back with this rubber seal is a joke and very poor quality control from your dealer. Same for electric cover, how can factory Leipzig, destination hub USA and your dealer miss this. "Spaltmaße" is a big thing in Germany. That being said, my Mercedes also needed adjustment and...

Not sure what happened, car is idle since 5th of December. Stable at 49% until Xmas (last checked, but battery not updated for 5 days). Showed 31% yesterday (updated same day), 31% this morning (updated 18 min). Now 31% but lost connection. Car is at the dealer for sale (not disconnected yet...

Don't know for sure, but according to spec comparison (4 vs GTS), GTS is 11 mm lower in normal mode. In off-road they have similar height and in sport, GTS is a few mm lower. So guess suspension is stiffer in all modes except off-road. Front lip is quite low and some kerbs are quite high, but...

Not happened to me but this would be a safety issue. Ubered in BYD, everything is nicely illuminated, in particular headroom light switches.

Had a quick check on German website. It's not watered down - new functionality. Now independently (self steering) until 210 kmh with active lane change (indicator activated, except PTS). Functionality however specific to countries so can't comment on US.

Sorry, misread your post in a hurry. Interesting comment about B-pillar. Had optioned it on Cayenne EV until dealer advised against it. I am usually quite careful but see dirt at side-sills, most from kids though. Such a shame how B-pillars are now designed on most Porsche. IMHO should be...

Drive assist on MY26 should be level 2+ versus 2 for MY 24&25. Difference is camera monitoring attention so hands on wheel should be no longer needed. That’s why there is a new “box” above steering column in MY26. All other features should remain.

@SergeyIndy Agree with all your points except centre console leather. It is rather difficult to scratch but have no long term experience. For me it’s too much plastic without and in brighter colours interior looks so much better with it. Would definitely keep it in this build. Off topic, same...

So sorry to hear you continue to have problems. Just to clarify, your specific problems (lemon law) are due to leasing with Porsche? Hope you get a good offer from dealer. Otherwise letter from lawyer just may do the trick. In a crystal clear case like yours (my 2 Macan EV taken back without any...

Amazing build. I would consider exterior sport design package. Neodym with chalk looks amazing. Wonder if contrast stitching in yellow would work for you. Side seat leather not really worth it in my opinion. I had compass on my last Macan, utterly nonsense. Get chrono with chalk or better...

If you stream music and like to listen to music at higher volumes with more bass, Bose is a reasonable option. I also prefer Surround sound setting, EQ is a joke. I didn’t notice a wow factor in Taycan or Panamera either. Bose appears to be the sweet point in terms of price and this is done...

What’s your status? I assume your specs are locked, pre production started and actual build starting around mid January. Took about a month from build to custom clearance UK for mine. Port to dealer varies a lot but would prepare for 2 weeks wait.

Mine was rather boring, only got drive system failure notifications. No variety in error messages despite the usual yellow ones for drive assist and tyre change notification (quite stubborn, didn't change tyres and reset didn't do the trick either).

The definition of a common problem for a specific car, in this case Macan EV, depends on the average fault rate of similar premium brands (above average). Recent polls: SoC >= 1% loss: 20% (common to unacceptably high)...
