New 2025 Taycan - the little things that are different...

You don't have a GT!

Is your app up to date?

I have it on Android - not much use for a black car in my case.

I agree with the positives, but in the spirit of balanced opinions, I can't get past a couple things on the Turbo/S. First are the 'snow shovels' in the front. I just don't see what they were thinking here. Second is the requirement to have a race-Tex steering wheel. Does anyone like the feel of race-Tex over the leather wheel? The race-Tex will get worn over time, the leather will not. Otherwise, fantastic car and improvements.

I'm on Android and it just installed the latest version of the Porsche app.

No app icon option for me too ?

Yes me ?

I prefer the feel of Race-Tex but do worry about keeping it that way

What version of the app do you have? I have v12.24.36 build 342 and iOS 18.0.1.

@Boss Hogg what is the color of your Taycan? Not all colors are available. I know White, Mamba and PTS are not available.

I like the Race Tex wheel a lot more than leather...

I am on iOS 17.7 (not moved to 18 yet, scared my phone will turn into frying pan) and the latest Porsche app v 13.24.41 build 348 (icon option did not appear in previous version either).

My car is Volcano grey.

Maybe I need to buy a GT to get this icon option!

It will be worth it!

Ios 18.1 open beta has been great so far, especially with carplay connection, much faster. Signs that maybe that full carplay thing is getting closer.

My app hasn't received an update in forever, so same version as your app, and also missing this feature.

I'm on the same app version on Android.

So it looks like the older version has it and this doesn't

(Mine's Cherry...I wonder if they know ours likely wouldn't look that great on a black or white background ).

I like tuboshite, it goes well with Volcano Grey but may clash with other colours. Looks good on a black leather interior. All subjective as any colour/style!

I've got it on my Frozen Blue CT and think it works well - bit of a chameleon colour as well so changes quite a bit depending on the angle/lighting. Also have the black leather interior and it does look great paired with that.

Neither do I.
Mind you, the App icon is one place where I don't mind black

Can't get used to the shovels either, but the fuzzy wheel isn't forced on you.
The optional GT paddle wheel comes that way unfortunately.
Maybe someone with a UV light could shine it on the wheel after cleaning to see if it can be.
