Does your Macan EV keep SoC stable when left idle for a week or longer?

[byebye]

Context: my Turbo is at the dealership since 12 days for the red circle of death issues, and related total or partial loss of power.
The loaner I have is an almost new Macan EV In @Petzi conditions (ie: error free, btw a pleasure!)

It has been parked in the same conditions as my turbo, 5 days, idle, underground without 4g/5g:
- my turbo in October 2025 : -5%
- Loaner this week : 0%
(My turbo from 11/2024 to 09/2025: it was 0%, even after 15 days idling...)

Something is wrong with my Turbo...

The simple Macan is a very nice car, very efficient compared to the turbo, the spring suspensions + 20" wheels are so smooth.
I strongly recommend this setup for a DD, there is no lack of power, and this one doesn't cut the power (maybe that's why I'm happy with the simple Macan)

And not only with your Turbo. Vote shows 8 people losing 1% per day. With my 4S it is not so good. It had 65% at dealership, drive home, which is 65km, dropped SoC to 51%, while it showed 17kWh/100km consumption. It must have used 11kWh if consumption figures are correct. 65-11=54, this explains why I see 51 - some people report SoC loss when they start driving.

If the dealer fixes your Turbo and SoC loss issue goes away, I would appreciate it if you could share exactly what they did.

I think wheels contributed more to the smoothness than steel suspension. Our 4S has air suspension and 20" wheels and it is just great, we can drive through speed bumps almost not braking. I bet your Turbo has 22" wheels?

I've been away for 2 weeks so far with it plugged in and charge set to 50%. I see it's been holding 50% when I check on occasion. However, the charging activity status appeared on my lock screen today showing it was charging because it had dropped to 40%. I don't know when it dropped since I do not check the app daily. It did start charging again and now it's back to 50%. Strange that it could have dropped 10% (possibly more) while plugged in. Glitches be glitchin.

Did you have a situation when either after charging, or some idle time after a drive, SoC raises few %? I often see that when charging to 80%, SoC is 81% or even 82%, and yesterday I got an interesting situation. If I subtract consumption * distance driven from the starting SoC, I will get some figure greater than displayed SoC by good 6-7%. But after it sat for 2 hours, it showed SoC of 3% bigger that when parked. To give some figures so it is easier to understand:

SoC when beginning the drive - 67%
SoC when parked after driving 105 km - 37%
Consumption - 22 kWh / 100km
SoC when starting another drive 2 hours later - 40%

First, 67% - 37%= 30 kWh, how 105 km @ consumption 22 kWh / 100km it could have spent 30 kWh?

How SoC could have gone 37% -> 40%? It got an energy from an ether?

My 4S does similarly the same thing as well.Even though I haven't so closely monitored the SoC yet - I just got the car 15 days ago - I noticed more than a couple of times the SoC is slightly increased after a while when the car is parked and unused for short time period.But not after a charging session is completed but rather after a drive, irrelevantly the distance.

I asked a friend with a BYD and he told me his car does it too rather frequently and it's a common thing for him.
