    ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    Software update

    if your software update is bricking cars or components the delivery mechanism (be it OTA, dealer installed, or carrier pigeon) isn't the problem. Its' that your software platform/update has defects that need to be addressed. bad software is bad software regardless of how it's...

    Software update

    you are naive - modern car companies can update their cars via OTA updates (over the air) - but Porsche is not that company - significant software updates require a dealer visit just like in the 1990's… if you want a modern vehicle with OTA updates Porsche is not your vendor.

    Porsche Extending Charging Beyond My Free One Year

    also one has to keep in mind Porsche is a global company - they provide Porsche charging service world wide, but bundle access to different charging services based on region - they do this for brand control and in theory to smooth our the rough edges that would be present otherwise…they can also...

    Porsche Extending Charging Beyond My Free One Year

    it is a service of sorts - if you do not have Porsche charging service you have to use several different apps and billing methods to access all those different charging networks - and you would not have plug&charge at two of them it doesn't seem like much but there is work required from Porsche...

    AC power charging limited to 3.8kwh

    the warning said "visit workshop" - seems like a dealer service issue to be diagnosed.

    AC power charging limited to 3.8kwh

    what EVSE are you using? have you factory reset it? is the car limited to 3.8 kW on other EV chargers?

    [Good News] - DST was handled promptly with no issue

    I woke up this morning - got in the car - and the clock was wrong - just like last year when we "fell back" - last year it took "days" until the car resolved this and I had to manually "update" the clock to have the correct time for properly charging schedule and such… today nearly the second I...

    ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    even if it doesn't there is now precedent for power-voltage-quality issues causing problems for Macan's to charge - and the the update is the reason it no longer works - now as to if the fix for Europe does not fix North America - well it's not forgone conclusion it _IS_ the update that is...

    ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    thank you for this update - I'm particularly pleased that the pre-update Macan "just worked" and the post-update Macan did not work (as expected) - having a reproducible test case that exhibits the problem (or not) is normally "key" for any engineering progress on a software bug… I have high...

    Successful Plug and Charge at new Tesla station

    yes if plug&charge works at EA it's very very likely it will also "just work" at appropriate Tesla Superchargers … not that the two networks use the same technology but rather than Porsche already knowns how to bill you!!! LOL not _ALL_ North American Tesla Superchargers allow non-Tesla's to...

    Successful Plug and Charge at new Tesla station

    Porsche Charging Service (PCS) is all you need for plug&charge to work at North American Tesla Superchargers … PCS is setup via myPorsche app for your vehicle - you can have a Tesla app setup as well but it's only for backup purposes as an alternative method for starting a charging session...

    ⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

    it will depend on the voltage - it's NOT the charger that's the problem - it's the voltage from the grid that is causing the problem - it's not the charging hardware - it's the power supply being fed to the charging hardware… so it may or may not work depending on the grid voltage at the time...
