    Major software update announcement coming July 13th…

    I hope it goes smoothly, but I would expect that a sizable part of the update will need to be done tomorrow. Have they told you when you can come take delivery? They're hoping tomorrow late for me.

    Official Porsche Announcement: PCM Update Coming to All Model Years w/ Faster Charging, Infotainment Improvements and Range Bump

    A couple items. The WNJ8 or whatever the software is to upgrade NON-recall cars was available yesterday. By available, that means available to download to terminals, which I understand takes overnight. They can't leave the terminal downloading the software while they need it for normal...

    Major software update announcement coming July 13th…

    It was apparently available starting at 12-noon PST, so perhaps it's not the eight hour behemoth that was feared. They plan on doing mine tomorrow morning.

    Major software update announcement coming July 13th…

    Similar on my end. There's some concern that the update will take 8+ hours, in which case we're ready for a Saturday delivery.

    Most of the ANA6 cars do not have passenger displays.

    Major software update announcement coming July 13th…

    I'd assume it was a problem with certain chipsets, of which I'm sure they used more than one to get around supply chain constraints.

    Major software update announcement coming July 13th…

    So, there are three different updates, and each car is only eligible for one- WNK1 is for 2022 cars already with colored icons. WNJ8 is for 2022 cars without colored icons but not covered by the ANA6 safety recall. ANA6 is for 2022 cars (and others) that Porsche has identified as having safety...

    The July 13th campaign?

    I’m looking forward to taking delivery on the car I’m making payments on. ?‍♂️

    No one has seen it yet nor reported anything earlier than the 22nd from dealers.

    hmmm - as I always suspected - the grid can handle EV's

    "The grid" doesn't mean anything inside of your meter. Most poletop transformers (in the Western US) transform 12.5kV to 110/220 and are rated anywhere from 10kva (lets call that 10kw and avoid a lot of confusion) and 170kva (170kw). EVs are not randomly distributed. They turn up in nicer...

    Major software update announcement coming July 13th…

    I don't want to nerd out too much as it sounds like we're both familiar with devops, but a wide variety of hardware makes modern devops and the resulting frequent sprints much (much) harder, and I doubt either Porsche or their contracted PCM SW supplier is on the bleeding edge. PCMs in this...

    Major software update announcement coming July 13th…

    Due to widespread supply chain constraints, I have little doubt that Porsche used a variety of chipsets in PCMs in 2020-2022. There are a lot of chipsets that do nearly the same thing but require slightly different compilers to be optimal. In a rush, those differences might cause any number of...

    Major software update announcement coming July 13th…

    In order to deliver my car, my dealer has committed that I'll be the first update they do (the car is still at the dealer... they arent allowed to deliver it without ANA6). I'll let folks know when I hear anything.

    Major software update announcement coming July 13th…

    New cars started being delivered with 6.0 several months ago, so this recall doesn't effect cars made since at least late March.

    Major software update announcement coming July 13th…

    The last major PCM update took 7 hours and failed (at the end) typically once of twice before it went well. There's a Turbo S sedan at the local dealership that had the PCM bricked by the process and has been waiting for months for new parts. It makes sense (to me) for such major releases that...

    Was the recall mentioned? What did they claim to know about the software?

    Major software update announcement coming July 13th…

    When you made the appointment, what did you specify you want done? ANA6? I’m still confused if Porsche is releasing whatever this is in order to address the recall.

    Major software update announcement coming July 13th…

    I certainly hope it addresses ANA6 and is available on July 13th as well. That would be very good news for me and the possession of my car.
