Nice surprise! Range increase after OTA update

[gamueller]

A probably dumb question regarding OTA updates. Do you have to have an active Porsche Connect sub? I don't, have had my Taycan 8 months and have never seen an update notice... . Also, I've looked high and low, and haven't seen where applied updates are listed; are they?
TIA

Actual driving, I charged last night at home with 20 miles left in range after driving 255 miles overall.

That would be great, but … those previously posted figures represent a 17% increase in range.
Do we really think Porsche can somehow unlock more range via an OTA update?
(Granted, Porsche did decrease the L2 charging speed by exactly that same percentage, but that’s just a simple imposition of a new limit.)

You need to have updates turned on / allowed in the app, but you don’t need a Porsche Connect subscription.

I forgot to say that I also went from always on regen to auto, that gave me about 5% gain and then the other 5% gain with the OTA

What is the software version number of the latest update? I’m running MPR3_US_POG46_K3882 and it says no updates are available.
