I have my VIN, the production number and the date the car entered the body shop. Is there any way I can figure out the exact production week of my vehicle? I'm wondering because the new PCM update is supposed to be rolled out to vehicles in production on week 7 2022.

Alarm randomly going off is a known issue.

OP is likely referring to something like the Motorola MA1. I think it's one of the only approved wired-to-wireless converters for Android Auto.

Can you share the video?

Similar to what others have mentioned, I've had a shop do that with one of my cars after many parts had been replaced. It can serve as an extended test drive to make sure everything works as expected. But I can understand it seeming strange and they probably should have given you a heads up.

Regarding the steering column it seems to be luck of the draw whether you get a manual or electric one, based on the responses in this thread.

Who'd you email? Maybe it enough people complain they would know there's demand for this from existing customers.

Totally agree with you. I wasn't making excuses for them not backporting it to older PCMs but just speculating as to why there's a mid-year update. They definitely should port this update to older units (minus Android Auto because I understand that could require specific hardware). They've been...

Oh my bad. I saw an announcement about PCM 6.0 in June 2021 and thought that was when they introduced it. Forget what I said then, who the heck knows what Porsche is going to do then ?

It would be pretty messed up on Porsche's part to update PCM 6.0 but only do it for cars produced late-Feb 2022 when PCM 6.0 was released June 2021. My speculation, as a software engineer, is that they wanted to get PCM 6.0 hardware and software out in time for 2022 models but had to cut out...

I don't have a direct answer but I would imagine they require technicians to go through training. They have a technician training facility in CA and PCA did a tour of Taycans used for training In a video a while back. I would also imagine they have extensive troubleshooting and repair manuals...

In California, I think it's the law that your deposit should be fully refundable, no ifs or buts.

That's crazy! I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (population of 8M) and I counted maybe 20 Taycan (new/used) nearby. The dealer I ordered from didn't even have one in stock so I had to test drive it at another dealer.

I've been debating whether to upgrade my 4S allocation to a GTS as well but find it hard to justify the price premium for the GTS. Not to go too off topic but I thought the more expensive variants always lost more in terms of depreciation than the cheaper models. Four-wheel Trader on YT has a...

Does anyone know how Porsche is deciding to put the manual steering column adjustment versus the automated but without a controller one?

I'm new to EVs, so not familiar with this at all. Is the app saying that you've lost ~10% of range since you bought the car? Is that considered high/low/normal?

Where'd you get your car wrapped? I'm in the Bay Area and looking for a custom PPF.

I saw that but personally wouldn't hold my breath for an update because this is a traditional automaker and not a company like Tesla that just OTAs updates willy nilly. There's also no guarantee that US-bound matrix LED headlights contain all of the components to make the matrix work. For...

While trying to look at the bright side, this turned out to be a positive thing for my build. Since I live in the US where matrix LED headlights cannot work as intended, there's not a functional between the LED PDLS+ and the matrix LED PDLS+ AFAIK. So in my build, I was now able to add the...

Agree regarding the reputational impact. I'm curious what dealers will do now? Call up customers and tell them their same build is a few grand more? That's not a great position to be in from a customer service point of view, but with the current supply-chain issues and the demand, Porsche (and...
