Is there a way Taycan's PCM can connect to the internet other than relying on eSim? I got impression from some posts in the forum it seems like Taycan can connect to the internet via our phone's mobile data, but how do you set that up?

It can’t be done, looked into this before, no options to connect to an external source.

No can do.

Only Russian spec Taycans had the option to connect to a WiFi hotspot.

Why do you need it when sharing a hotspot from your mobile is cheaper / more flexible?

I need my car to have internet connection, so I was thinking if the car could use my mobile data... cos the integrated eSim is registered in another country.

So can't your dealer reconfigure?

How do you get Porsche Connect services, Apply Play access today - I'm guessing you don't?

Yeah I dont get porsche connect services etc, can't login Porsche ID. I do have an ID from my other porsches but this Taycan is a grey import so dealer will refuse servicing it.

Well there's your answer!

If you had imported from Russia you would have external wifi connectivity...next time, right?
