For me innodrive was unusable until I turned the traffic sign speed limit off.

since then, it’s perfect.

recently I had a long trip with a $100k ‘23 Cayenne as my Taycan was in service and I did not had innodrive, it was not great

My take. Innodrive is useful only if you want the ‘thrill’ of not being in control of where your car goes and how fast it gets there. ACC and LKA work with far less drama and suddenness. They’re enough. Definitely something to evaluate before rather than after you buy.
Still pains me that ACC has been a standard feature on a Golf for the last 10 years but is a cost option on a Porsche.

One of the great joys of the Taycan, for me, was that a normal cruise control was standard :)

Some sort of active system has been standard on cars I've had make it inconvenient driving to the "rules" on UK motorways.

Basically General is the "catch all" for any unsaved locations. So if you had "Home" and/or "work" and or "cabin" etc -- those take precedence. But away from those, it falls back to General, and you can trim it to optimized vs preferred charge times, and 25% to 100% range. This should accomplish what you want, so long as your needs/desires were AC charging specific. Cheers!
I grabbed useful information from this forum and set up my General profile to keep minimum charge at 35% and then charge at my preferred times, and also a timer to charge to 80% by 5am. That works great for my driving and I appreciated access to the experience here when setting it up.

So through FoD I bought Innodrive AND Automatic Lane Keep… only Innodrive pushed to the car and ALK is stuck in “Activation in Progress”… there’s nothing in my download queue, has anyone had any success finding a way to pull or repush FoD purchases to their car without support or a dealer visit? :(

Edit: which by the way, I agree with most here without ALK everything sucks… I knew coming from Tesla was not a comparison, but having done several thousand miles around the EU in mostly Audi’s with ALK and ACC, I was so confused that innodrive sucked so bad but this thread helped me realize I was missing the only thing I likely needed
