It’s a pen holder

Where in the car is this?

In the Taycan it's in the glove compartment. I've seen it in various areas in other Porsches. For example, the Macan has it in the center console.

Pen holder. Porsche sent me a "carbon fiber pen" when I purchased my car.

I can leave it in the glove compartment because it's extra light, so it won't affect acceleration! Wow, those Porsche engineers think of everything to keep the car as light as possible.

Penholder, so you can sign the speedingtickets with a proper pen.

I like sushi. For me it'll be an emergency chop stick.

I remember reading that it is actually not for a pen – and the gift pens Porsche sometimes hands out won't fit in it. Instead it is for holding the classic Porsche tyre pressure guage. Not sure how true that is – I have my doubts.

So the designers forgot they have TPMS in all their tires now? Or is the company so tiered and segmented, that the people who added TPMS to cars have absolutely no way, no how, to talk to the people who put in a tire pressure gauge holder in the glove compartment.

As a side note, that must have been for the customers who buy a GT3RS and drive it 600 miles over a decade, while keeping the car all shiny in their garage as an investment. My tire pressure gauges have historically been way too dirty to even consider putting them in a glove compartment. I drive the cars I buy, including Porsches.

doesn;t even look like it would fit. its not as long as a pen and doesn't have a thin bit on the other end to go in the other clip , unless you're expected to need two of these ?! .

its clearly a pen holder.

What would other national stereotypical answers be?
