You're right but that was not what I was driving at and I should have been more explicit. The user experience of that is bad and it should not have happened. Any other company pushing out software updates is paying attention to what the end user experiences during the update process. If that...

I'd ask what their long term plan is for handling software updates for existing and newer platforms. I had a kind of ridiculous experience this morning - two weeks after I got my car back from the dealer during which they ran updates on modules and PCM - where a pop up message told me it needed...

FWIW I requested that they update the PCM and modules during a recent visit for a loose rear door handle. They didn't even wait for me to finish my sentence before saying they could not update the PCM to match the 2025 models so I assume this comes up a lot. The presence of a 4xxx series release...

I saw people manage to brick other cars flashing with tools like the COBB without a power supply so between seeing people here mention issues with dealers killing the PCM during an update and the way the TSB stresses using this frankly massive 12V supply (90A? really? Does the Taycan use a 5090...

I read the TSB's emphasis on providing a 12V external power supply with very high current capacity as a hint as to what was really happening during extended update runs and resulting in a "bricked" PCM, IE 12V battery being drained and things powering off in the middle of the process. Flash...

I have two 2020 Taycans at different homes in the US - both CPO's. Both show the same version numbers on the displays (3885) and both have clearly different behavior, sometimes just little things but enough that you notice because your muscle memory is wrong between cars. One example: on one of...

The TSB for the latest PCM version (which is definitely not 3885) is very clear about the order in which things need to be done for it to work properly, and that the parts will not be warrantable if the technician does not do it in the right order. It very much reads like there is impatience at...

Your range at full is different from mine after the battery was replaced in February. Mine shows 275.

What's the word?

Admittedly it is a guess but there is a core charge for the entire assembly and it makes sense to reuse the skid. By remanufacture I meant taking the skid and replacing all the modules with new ones. I was not referring to the in-place repair where they replace just a few bad modules in the...

Agreed. Based on the part numbers Porsche continues to supply remanufactured J1.1 skids, which they obviously would not do if they were forcing dealers to follow that TSB. If they were doing this by sticking 1.2 modules into a 1.1 skid (making the huge assumption that this is even possible) then...

I don't think you're going to gain from asking us to guess. Ask the dealer why they are installing the old part number after referring them to the TSB that says to use a 2025 pack and find out what they say. Is this Porsche Tyson's Corner?

At the risk of repeating the obvious, the TSB is linked in this thread and disagrees with the AI "enshittification" rather directly: "Cause: The previous high-voltage battery for the Porsche Taycan from model years 2020 - 2024 is no longer available. Action: If the previous high-voltage...

Same part number as mine. I could see the miss on the TSB on mine when it was just a couple days after the TSB was issued and my battery had to have been ordered before then, but weird to see that almost 4 months later. You could certainly ask the dealer about this and mention the TSB. The TSB...

Just get the part number or ask for the service invoice. If they put in a J1.2 battery pack they have to replace two of the mounts that they do not replace just swapping in an older pack. If it is an older pack then point them to the TSB from Feb saying not to repair the cars with the older pack.

It really does not make sense for them to spend the time on customization in software to integrate the part only to then artificially cap the larger usable capacity of the later battery pack.

Hmm, they are selling 2020's with CPO warranties that you could extend beyond that (mine goes beyond that). They're going to have to remediate with newer battery packs for quite a while past the original 8 year limit.

Heh, it would be quite the miss for them to have installed the J1.1 battery two days after the TSB that said not to, but I guess I wouldn't really be surprised.

Heh, my replacement date is 27/Feb so either the part number is misleading or I got super unlucky with the last of the old batteries!

FWIW, I had no problem scanning codes and reading the ASG using a Windows 11 on ARM virtual machine running on a macOS host in UTM. I spun up a new VM using UTM, having it download the install ISO using crystal disk, then installed with no windows license, patched windows, downloaded the mapev...
