Anyone stored their Macan for a long time (30days+) and had any tyre flat spot issues?
Mine not moved for a month and considering taking it for a short spin to pick up essentials only of course.
Tyre Flat Spot Issues?
Here are Harry's top tips for storing cars, admittedly some rather more valuable ones.
Pumping the tyres up to the max might be beneficial (11 mins into the video):

Left mine for just over three months once with no flat spots (20inch wheels).
It would make good sense (to me, anyway), to take your car for a LONG spin, to pick up essentials (1/. to keep the tyres in good nick 2/. to keep the battery well-charged and 3/. to heat up the engine enough to burn off carbon deposits)
Agreed , that's what I have been doing, about 20 miles once a week, last half of which is at oil fully warmed, plus back on CTEK when back in garage

Really. Is that respecting the government mandate on distance driving (unless you are a key worker and that is your commute?)

Mine is no garage queen, I don't use a battery charger and it started first time after 16 days of no use. If ishouldn't start then I will get Porsche / AA out. Never needed them before, but it's covered. Failing that we can use our other car.

The Harry's Garage video stresses how the more modern cars take more current when not in use. Takes a good 70 mile or about to restore full charge after a series of short trips.
