Clock keeps losing time
Anyone come across this? The main clock loses minutes over a day or so? No not a weak battery, any ideas? This is for a 2020 Macan S, TIA

I am not a scientist, but you do live in Alaska.
True North or magnetic North? Coriolis? Russian hackers?
JK cause I have no idea.

definitely an A for effort, no banana but clearly thought of the issue (did leave out the North Koreans though)

You are driving too fast. This is relativistic time dilation. Do objects in front of you look bluish?

Having spent 14 years in high energy physics, I'm vaguely familiar with the concept of time dilation (especially near the event horizon) but I believe the KISS principle is perhaps more apropos in this case.
(It) Seems, and of course this still needs to be verified by 3 separate and independent labs following the Fleischman-Pons cold fusion bs back in the late 80s, but "someone" (we don't want to be pointing fingers here do we?) when changing from the inane summer time to regular time (why we need 22 hours of daylight instead of 21...) disabled the previously set (hearsay as TOWMBO claims she never went near the inertial dampers - which I told her NOT to disable under any circumstance) "use GPS" for time resulting in the made in North Korea clock to loose time.
Having now, as is common in Porsche vehicles and order forms, checked the box, I expect time to return to it's normal entropy settings... Should this not solve the issue I'll re-post from the past...
Thank you for your creative suggestions!

A friend of mine had a "clock issue" on his 2019 Cayenne S Hybrid. The clock wouldn't keep time properly. It ended up having something to do with his GPS system and the integration with the clock. Here's the link from the Cayenne forum:

Thanx! For the time being I'm keeping a loose eye on it (as other mechanical issues on the burner) to see now that I've set it to GPS rather than manual it will keep better time.

I loose time on two of my vehicles and like you batteries are strong I just live with it now

It's these little details, like an auto start you find on $25k vehicles and clocks that actually keep time that you just really don't want to experience from P. But as was stated a quartz Timex keeps better time than a Patek Philippe.
Still annoying

Thanx for the heads up. Been busy with pressing stuff so I haven't had a chance to check whether now that it's on GPS set time it's back to keeping time. I'll definitely keep your suggestion in mind. Thank you!
