lovely color!

The software in the Macan is different, because it's Android Auto, not VAG Special.

/r/askcarsales seems to suggest that this is no longer true -- someone who's already over their quota is over, and someone who's not at their quota is probably under enough that another car won't change it. Plus, buying a day when everyone else is there both means that you'll have to wait...

Doesn't the Macan have a LFP (lithium) battery? The reason to not connect straight to a battery, is that old-school lead-acid batteries generate hydrogen gas when charging, and the second connection to the battery will complete a circuit and generate a spark, so the spark can explode the...

The Porsche dealer in my city refused to go below MSRP for custom orders; I had to go to another city to get 4% off. In general, dealers aren't super happy to give discounts on factory orders, because you the buyer always have the option to undo the deal until you actually drive it off the lot...

Northern California. 20" wheels. Turbo. 60/40 freeway and city driving. 2.8 kWh/mi.

Sounds like a really bad service center. Super frustrating! Here's hoping there are other centers in the general area you could go to next.

Except we don't get them in the US. And now we also don't get the laser lights. Because regulation requires faster response times than current technology can deliver. Despite most drivers I meet not even dimming their manual lights at all -- except for that one guy who doesn't even turn them on...

If you believe the range meter is an accurate gauge, similar to "this is how many gallons of gas you have in your tank," this would be concerning. But that's not what this range meter is. It's better known as a "guess-o-meter" and it uses a combination of state of charge, current consumption...

Make sure to bring the wall-plug adapter as a backup! The reason is that, the way the "tesla to J1772" adapters work, is with collaboration from the Tesla wall EVSE. The EVSE will try for 30 seconds to talk as if you plugged in a Tesla. If you didn't, it'll switch and try talking to J1772, and...

> When you go back to the Macan, you immediately notice it does not drive like this. A-yup! The J1 glues to the road. (I drove the Audi GT version) The Macan wiggles when doing the "Start by turning from a stop sign" maneuver. But I couldn't take the super-low front. And the "backing into the...

I would absolutely add the AR HUD. Totally worth it. If you have the money and don't want to compromise, get the Burmester, but if you can put the money towards a higher level motor, I'd go for that instead of the Burmester and stick with the Bose. Heated window is more of a cell phone blocker...

I got 156 miles with 4 miles left driving at average of 57 mph. That doesn't match my experience. I get almost 250 miles going up to 75 mph. I wonder what's different?

Is your garage door actually Homelink? I got one that's otherwise good, but wasn't Homelink by default. I had to talk to the manufacturer and they sent a homelink compatible opener, and when using that one, programming worked. (This is some license payment trademark shenanigans AFAICT)

Right, but when it's been measured, it hasn't actually proven out, for the normal speaker designs measured. For what it's worth, I used to be vehemently against "snake oil" because I was on the pro side of audio. Until I realized that the consumer is buying an experience, and it's what the...

Right, but the setting name is "the emergency stop function." I'll try to ask the service advisor what each of the features actually mean, and see if they can find out from headquarters, because I don't think the manual is all that helpful if you haven't already memorized all the...

This is a myth. No modern speakers change measurably with "break in." In fact, there's probably more difference between cars built on different days, than there is between the same car when new, and the car after 500 hours of listening. Of course, this is a human perception thing, so if you...

> Try Car -> Assistance -> Gear icon -> Assistance system settings-> Additional functions -> Distance warning Thank you. I've tried that, too, it affects the yellow triangle that hovers over the car in front of me if I start tailgating. I also have this on low, and it doesn't affect the early...

That documents how to turn down the emergency *braking* function. I'm talking about the red collision warning indicator in the HUD and the ding sound that warns about possible collision. It is frequently way too sensitive, and the car does not actually brake when it shows this warning (because...

The Bose certainly is better than the default, although it does take up some of the trunk under-lid space for the subwoofer. It's perfectly fine sound quality for normal listening, but does start to sound strained at the "I really shouldn't be listening at this level" levels. Kinds of music...
