I’m curious of what you currently bind your diamond button to? I honestly believed that practically everyone bound it to the skip track function. No joke, I can't even imagine a single thing that could be more important than that. In my book, volume and skip are by quite a margin the two most...

It feels like whoever manages to decipher those change logs into plain English will also reveal the secret treasure of the ancient sphinx and unseal their true inner potential as a person.

I just noticed probably the one single biggest improvement of the new Taycan. They replaced the regen button on the steering wheel with a media control button.

I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around what an insane improvement they've managed to conjure up out of seemingly nowhere. Some improvement was expected, but these numbers are something completely different. The Taycan was never a particularly efficient car, which wasn't exactly...

It's obviously incredibly silly, but I could see it as an easter egg type of feature. For that matter, I think it would be nice overall if we had a significantly more fine tuned control over the acceleration curve. For a company priding itself on their high amount of customization and racing...

Which raises the question, why does Porsche perform so horrendously in the EPA tests? I get that they want to undersell/overdeliver, but not to this degree.

Wow, the new Taycan is really shaping up to be quite a beast. The range has always been the Taycan’s Achilles heel (that and software), so going from just passable range to great range is just what it needed.

The whole release schedule for the ST was weird. The GTS ST was released before my CT had even been delivered and the Turbo S ST released shortly after.

Contact your dealer or Porsche support. It seems like your order for connect services has gotten stuck in limbo somehow so the only fix is probably to cancel your order and redo it. Something similar happen to me when I tried to order the wifi hotspot subscription.

I am pretty sure that Maps has no such functionality. I think the most likely way preheating could work is if navigational data was communicated back to the car that could then in turn handle preheating. I think the chance of Porsche doing this, seeing how they still don't even display Maps...

If you look at Porsche's FAQ on the Maps integration, they appear to explicitly note that no data is communicated back from Maps to the car. Whether this is just bad wording from their part is a different question, though.

The button just shows the remote park assist interface. You get a few options of what type of manoeuvre you want to do and then you get some controls for moving the car forward and backwards. How do you control remote car assist otherwise?

That's for remote parking.

I can’t decide if I should be happy that they improved the app or annoyed over how half-arsed it is. As usual when it comes to Porsche and software, they manage to take it 85% of the way and then botch it up right at the end. So they've updated the main view to use a completely different design...

While the Taycan doesn't have one pedal driving, still make sure you have passive regen turned off. I find that the biggest problem with EVs in this matter is that the instant acceleration invites a driving style where you're constantly micro-accelerating and decelerating which can be really...

Why should I expect less from a €250k Porsche than from Tesla, Polestar, Lucid or any of the numerous Chinese brands that are becoming very much an existential threat for the entire European car industry? It doesn't matter whether one thinks that Porsche directly competes with Tesla or not...

It will be interesting to see what happens, seeing how so far there have been relatively minor changes throughout the years, and those changes have mostly been back-ported to the older models too. Personally, I feel that how they decide to handle future PCM and other software changes on...

And more importantly, that could free up the current regen button on the steering wheel for a dedicated media play/pause button!

Go to my.porsche.com and check your recent trips. How does your recent consumption look like and has it changed from earlier similar trips?

While on the topic, has anything ever been said WHY it is like this? Not having walk-away locking even as an option is a super weird limitation. I can't imagine that there would be any technical limitations preventing them from implementing it either. Yet again, this is the same company that...
