Display of energy distribution between front and rear motors?

[Tooney]

In Taycans before I got mine, a display on the instrument panel showed energy distribution between front and rear motors while driving. An update or model change removed that display from instrument panel.

Is there an equivalent display somewhere in the PCM? If so, how do you get to it?

I also am disappointed it has gone though I suspect if it was there I would spend more time checking it out than I should.
I was intrigued by it on my demo drive.

This is not what we’re talking about. There was a display on the far left portion of the main display (in front of the wheel) that showed power distribution for front and rear. It’s totally gone for some reason.

The trip tab illustration is what you get instead now, unfortunately. You can see when the front and rear motors have drive power or regen but no detailed distribution. I think MY22 and above never had the left tube power distribution in the first place.

Shame it is gone I found it was the most interesting additional display on my first test drive.

Agreed. I do remember driving up to my Porsche Centre to get the "big update" – which was very necessary for me as it fixed the issue with the 22 kW AC charger – but aware that I'd be losing that torque split view in the left tube.

I especially enjoyed it on my first trip to the arctic circle – where you could see the front kicking in very quickly when a slip was detected on the snow/ice.

The much less clear – almost Toyota Prius like – display on the central PCM is no substitute.

I wonder what the motivation for this change was?

I didn’t know it was available on a Taycan, I never look at it on our Prius - pointless “screen candy”.
