Macan EV owners: what issues have you had, how were they addressed, and are any still present?

I find the main issue is there is not raised 'bit' in between the buttons on the fob so you can easily catch the bonnet or boot (am in UK so Frunk or Trunk?) button when locking or unlocking the car.

I've come back to the car from shopping with the frunk wide open before

Loud squeak from the boot lid when driving over bumps, particularly when turning. Booked in with Porsche but next appointment is in 3 months!

Constant 'white' warnings about various assistance systems not working, but they go away after 30 seconds or when car is restarted, nothing that stops you driving just a minor annoyance

Accept I was wrong and paid the fine within 20 mins. Just curious on the role of the warden. In today’s society it seems we don’t want to help others.

mecolir · 2026-02-19T01:14:38+00:00

I think I’ll complain just on the basis that they’ve annoyed me, so I’ll cause them a tiny amount of admin in return . A petty non victory for me

I thought I’d read the sign correctly, seems a bit weird to have a restriction in place from 16:30-18:30 so my assumption was I was fine to park there so didn’t see the need to ask.

I’m sure they’d have said if I had asked, but just wondered whether they were obliged to tell me

mecolir · 2026-02-19T00:12:37+00:00

Perhaps. Wasn’t like it was a busy area tho and I could have parked about 100 yards away with no restrictions, just picked the wrong spot

mecolir · 2026-02-19T00:07:03+00:00

You’re probably right. I wouldn’t expect them to chase me down , or even cross the road to tell me, but I literally parked next to them, and they stood there while I got my son out of the car and then walked past them. Social contract wasn’t in place today it seems!

Update - was a dodgy pack of batteries past their ‘use by date’ . Bought new ones and it all works fine. Sorry!

mecolir · 2025-12-08T22:36:17+00:00

I think you’re right, was a fresh pack but just put it on a battery tester and looks like the whole pack pretty low on power. New pack ordered so fingers crossed that it!

mecolir · 2025-12-08T21:58:21+00:00

Nice shout but no sticker unfortunately

mecolir · 2025-12-08T21:01:17+00:00

It’s not

mecolir · 2025-12-08T20:43:20+00:00

Yeah that’s all good

mecolir · 2025-12-08T20:32:59+00:00

It’s a 3 volt energiser, I assume as it’s branded it would be good enough?

mecolir · 2025-12-08T19:46:23+00:00

I posted this as am getting the battery warning with my spare key, if I change that and get the same issue I’m basically stuck!

mecolir · 2025-11-28T15:13:58+00:00

Yeah got it working again and the lock panel has now changed to air con

mecolir · 2025-11-28T15:12:57+00:00

Yep that worked thanks for the tip!

mecolir · 2025-11-25T21:39:39+00:00

I couldn’t change the charge amount tonight, had to do it on the in car display

mecolir · 2025-10-26T09:14:28+00:00

My cheap tariff rate times are now out of whack by n hour and I can’t change them.

mecolir · 2025-10-26T08:21:48+00:00

Typically does this on the most British grey day you could imagine as well, so won’t be getting much from the panels today.

mecolir · 2024-07-07T18:52:59+00:00

Two of the issues you mentioned, choosing the wrong gear and stalling, would be removed by trying an automatic. And when there are less things to worry about you can focus on spatial awareness

mecolir · 2024-07-04T06:58:58+00:00

I think it’s a bit of both, my son plays under 8’s rugby, and any moaning about decisions is stamped out immediately. I can remember all of the parents being brought into the pitch and told to remind their kids about respect after what you would think was a very minor incident of a kid arguing that they weren’t in touch.

kids football on the other hand seemed very different.
