I have the Porsche dash cam on my 2023 911 GT3 - installed by Porsche dealer (front and rear) with a pre-wiring kit - it cost similar amounts of money to install in a 911… conclusion: it's a barely adequate dash cam and not the best product… I rate it only slightly better than I consider...

following up on this…I'll be returning my lovely Macan 4 loaner - next week - much sooner than I would've guessed (but I'm glad it's getting taken care of)… at 43,xxx miles (21, xxx miles of EV miles) on my 2021 Cayenne TurboS eHybrid - and about 4 years 9 months it turns out my entire HV...

it's unlikley 2026 MY Macan EV's have not benefited from a wide range of "improvements" most of which will never be disclosed, but always come out over time as Porsche learns from the previous 2 years and makes production changes and tweaks to improve the product…

GTS is 2 years "newer" than the 2024 - Porsche always makes minor and un-announced tweaks to their vehicles normal release cycle pattern is - 8 years - with .1 and .2 version of hte "same" generation product 2024/2025 model year mostly the same 2026/2027 new trim levels, minor...

both are "over powered" and you can't use their full potential on normal streets - I'd go with the better options package personally… see my comparision of my Loaner 4 vs my Personal Turbo - https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/thoughts-macan-4-loaner-vs-macan-turbo-ev-owned.24721/...

North American Turbo's come with it standard so I have it on my 2024 Macan Turbo EV…and just checking now it's also standard on Macan 4 EV…hmmm -standard on all Macan's in North America. I'm not sure I could tell the difference...but I doubt it's enough money to matter when optioning an $80K + EV

my prediction no "meaningful" OTA updates (anything beyond PCM) for current generation Macan EV's - maybe with a 2028 .2 refresh - but even that I give low odds to - the next full generation of Macan EV (if there is one) will have greater OTA capabilities… my $0.02 worth…

https://eletric-vehicles.com/rivian/rivian-and-volkswagen-hold-crisis-meeting-as-jv-faces-slowdown-report/ Rivian and Volkswagen Group are reportedly facing setbacks in their joint venture, as difficulties in adapting the EV maker’s software to VW models have been delaying the progress on...

and people wonder why Porsche doesn't have OTA updates…I'm reading the first few pages of the updates instructions posted on this thread… you need the vehicle on a 90 amp 12V charger during the update process (1 kW power supply - seems about right to run all the on board electronics during...

release notes would be nice - you know the sorts of things that software has come with for 40+ years…

is there an existing thread on this?

forums by their nature spend a lot of time discussing "room for improvement" - so I'd like to call out a recent "small victory" with big implications in the better late than never category Porsche's roll out, and addition of the Tesla Supercharger network has been well done… this is regardless...

i’ve never had any undo delay getting a porsches windshield since 2008 my $0.02 YMMV

all this being said… it _IS_ enormously satisfying to see/experience 260 kW (or greater) charge rates with both my 2020 Taycan Turbo and my current 2026 Macan EV Turbo - I have achieved these "optimal" 800V charging sessions a handful times (4 times in my initial road trip after PECATL delviery...

hmmm trying to get to a summary TLDR; out of 602 EA 800V sessions across more than 5 years - less than 3% of the session were 800V "optimal" (200 kW and above) - and only 7% were 800V "beneficial" (175 kW and above) - a whopping 93% (559) of EA sessions were not statistically/significantly...

@ron_b knows I love me some data!!! good job Ron - wow you've had much much much better luck with 800V sessions than I have…but you also have more detailed data…maybe it knows you're watching!!!! I'll dig into the data in a bit - I don't think it's the compelling case you think it is… this...

choice is what's important here - and now we all have choices… :rock:

let's do a mental exercise - let's not focus on "speed" let's focus on reliability… you pull into an empty parking lot… on your left there are 16 V3/V4 supercharges - un-occupied - you can pick your stall - no congestion on your right there a 4 EA CCS stations - un-occupied - you can pick your...

from my trip report when picking up the Macan EV from PECATL… https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/trip-report-im-peddling-as-fast-as-i-can-to-generate-electrons…-pec-atl-to-santa-cruz-in-a-macan-ev-turbo.17948/page-14#post-273395 20 charging stops - 2500 miles - NO SUPERCHARGERS (was...

easy one network most works most of the time the other networks don't the spec's dont' matter if the charging stall is broken or can't activate a session or you have to wait because of congestion - and there is often "enhanced" congestion - i.e. you wouldn't have had to wait for open stall if...
