Porsche doesn't do single pedal driving either - it's not a fairground bumper car - and many other differentiators not least battery tech which naturally has a different mix and optimisation process. The Cayenne EV is the best example just now within the Porsche stable.

That won't help at all and is for a different purpose.

Fortunately Tesla doesn't rule the EV world...

I think you mean the opposite - Spyders are less aero dynamic and create more turbulence. I had them on my Taycan.

All Macan EVs have this prep. Difference is that in NA you can't get the factory option for the electric tow hitch.

Might be tricky but ask a dealer. I have one on my Macan ICE but the aftermarket one for it isn't compatible and really expensive. There is another thread but doesn't address your query - https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/aftermarket-hitch-options-or-not-allowed.18410/ Not many folk...

Yep we've known that for quite a while now. I believe the battery tech on the Cayenne EV improves on this.

The cabin heater uses the HV battery and that combined with charging will raise the temp of the HV battery but not to a material extent.

Not sure the reservoir is heated but relies on ensuring you have sufficient additive in the water to prevent freezing. Heated nozzles are fine but can't be relied upon.

22 WLTP miles and not real miles so I would add a few more for good measure.

Well, it won't heat your wipers! It's just a film layer within the front windshield which is heated and nothing more. Works well in my experience at clearing frosted glass (not inches of snow) but we don't get as severe winters as you likely do.

Did you press the button with the windshield icon on it? This heats the windshield film and also directs air at max temp to it. As I mentioned earlier it is obvious when installed due to the colour of the front windshield when viewed at a distance in daylight. Example from.Macan ICE attached.

Wheels (rims) make a huge difference - RS Spyders are probably the worst as they are quite open. Aero wheels by contrast are more efficient. 20" will give the optimum range for a given model. WLTP is around 3.2 mi / kwh giving a theoretical max of around 304 miles but as we all know that's tosh...

A couple of things to consider: Size of rims and tyres fitted? 20" aero are best for range and 22" worst. Data provided shows a high consumption but given your average speed (64 moh) that should not be surprising. Set your units to miles/kwh to save some math and then share your Total Trip...

I think you misread the post - clearly states that P would also operate the heated screen in addition the standard function if it were optioned.

Pretty shoddy work to be honest. It probably will be fine but no harm pening a letter to Porsche NA (cc your dealer principal) and explain your concerns and expectations.

Yep sorry my mistake. I have it (heated windshield) in my Macan ICE sane two buttons in fact, sane on my 911 (no heated windscreen). Senior moment 😉

Same thing.

Hested windscreen- AC Max as mentioned but noted that you can. Reduce the fan speed without turning off the heating function. It will be obvious if the option is present as the front windshield has a copper / purple hue to it (from the film used to heat the screen) when viewedfromthe outside...

The issue is that these scum thieves sit with a scanner detecting signals from any and all keyfobs. The issue is that most keyfobs even when not in use are 'active' and transmitting a signal. This can then be skimmed and used to unlock / lock a vehicle. Use a keyfob pouch which is a Faraday...
