    Which option do you need to be able to get Rear cross-traffic alert?

    Sadly I don't believe the Taycan has rear cross traffic alert, only "intersection alert" which is front traffic alert. Personally I have not found it helpful, often triggering when I am sitting at a turn signal. Rear Cross traffic alert is super helpful, I have it in other cards.

    Blocking front wheel arch vents

    It would not seem this car really needs air vents for the brakes. I do race my Corvette on tracks, but cannot imagine taking this car on a track. When we aren't on tracks I imagine unless we are canyon carving 95% of braking is done by the motors in recuperation. Recuperation will brake up to...

    Want "Auto" driving mode

    Maybe we can agree on what to call this more advanced display and driving modes? - Teen Mode - Engineer Mode - Geek Mode - Porsche Car Play mode - Fighter Pilot mode - ???

    Want "Auto" driving mode

    I don't want to get into a flame war. I'm curious, where do you draw the line at for useless "gizmos"? Anti lock brakes, stability control, automatic transmission, automatic spoiler, automatic shocks...? The Taycan is drive by wire, accelerate by wire, steer by wire, brake by wire, automatic...

    Want "Auto" driving mode

    I'm 59, this is my first Porsche, I'm a retired software engineer, no I have never owned Teslas (I do own Tesla stock). Yes I own Bitcoin, dabbled on GME stock, so definitely not that "average" Porsche owner.

    Want "Auto" driving mode

    Tigerbalm: thanks for that info, I had not played with that screen. Yes the "All wheel drive" information is interesting to see the engine mapping. I still wish they would integrate that into a sort of "Advanced Power" screen mode for the "power" display. Since they have the data, as a...

    Want "Auto" driving mode

    Great, where is this information? It isn't in the manual. This brings me to another improvement. The "Power" screen should have two arcs, one showing status of front motor and second one showing status of rear motor. Make the arcs different size since the two motors are different size and...

    Want "Auto" driving mode

    Why doesn't this car have an automatic driving mode? The computer is quite capable to modifying many parameters in milliseconds. If I am driving sedately it should automatically use the lower power modes (like Range supposedly does). If I moderately use the accelerator it should configure...

    How many charge to 100%

    I charge to 80% during the week, %90 on Friday and Saturday night, more long drives for us on the weekend. Much less driving during the week. Btw unless we get specs from the battery manufacturer (and don't assume the manual is correct) it is VERY hard to know the best charging profile. Even...

    Will my car charge tonight?

    Why don't the profiles allow you to choose a minimum RANGE, not %? Ok, add both, but normally I want to make sure my car has at least 120 miles, I don't care what the battery % is. Charge more late at night when electricity is cheaper. Yes I can experiment and find a % that I like, but why do...

    Which extras you wouldn't order again

    I wrote up specs on many of the car features I would like improved. I can post if people are interested. I wouldn't get Porsche Sound unless they improve it. One discussed here, Porsche Sound: It should have several settings: Off Volume control so you can make it louder/quieter stored as...

    Software update - Changes seen by me (User)

    Mine doesn't have multiple choices and it doesn't "lower" the mirror. It used to make it tilt up, now it tilts inward a little. Mine is a 2020 4S, what is yours? Vehicle settings : Light and visibility : Reversing options : Lowering the mirror glass while reversing - Vehicle switched...

    Software update - Changes seen by me (User)

    I am a recent owner of a 2020 4S, Green Mamba(love this color!). My car was successfully upgraded over a week ago. The following are changes I have seen, that I don't like. Not bothering with other things that have changed. 1. Lane Keep Assist: a) it lost the steering wheel icon in...
