Latest Taycan Software Update Findings and Reviews Thread

Is that a combined reading or are the front and rear still separate, ie can one still tell how the controller is apportioning power between front and rear?

All it really shows is when power is flowing to the front and/or rear motors and when recoup is sending power back to the battery.

Thanks!
I see I wasn't clear.
Sorry.
This is what I mean (pre-update).
With destination set it shows 150kph on the dash but still 140kph (85mph) on the menu.
Without destination it's both 140kph...

That was probably poor reading comprehension on my part. I can confirm that the bug has been squished. Here’s a photo with destination set in nav.

I had the same observation.

Also, I just want to know if range or DC charging has been improved. Also, does the 22 KW charger require 400V or 250V?

I’ve never seen 150km/h on any screens and it was not possible to set over 140km/h.

On this screen, no.
But before uPdate, there was a separate view (on far left part of the screen), when you can see how power is used on front/rear wheels. Of course, no data (in watts), but it was useful.
if you want to monitor now, you loose the whole screen, which is another dowside….of course, not a 1st world problem… but still: why taking away some nice view/feature?

Indeed, I had seen the old display and particularly liked it since I am a nerdy engineer and like to know what is going on.
Very disappointed it has changed

Agreed.
i’ve been in software business for 40years, and i’d love to see all kind of logs and real-life (on-line) data…it’s not a rocket science to do something like that at all.

Indeed, not every market has the same bugs.
Still, I like this bug, same for the workaround to activate the passenger display while driving.
And....still don't like the colored icons.
I do have an appointment end of September cuz I like things to be up-to-date and have Android Auto.
Ah well, you loose some, you win some.

Just got my car back from getting the software update – including for me the most important aspect to this: the patch/fix to the 22kW charger.

Was surprised to see that my MY21 car with 22kW AC charger now has "Plug & Charge" option available. It was supposed to be originally available for MY21 cars but was pulled at the last minute for those cars that had optioned the 22kW charger.

However, I am on my 4th 22kW charger and I guess the latest one combined with the new software has enabled it. I wasn't expecting that. But I think this pretty much proves that the 22kW retrofit now being offered does deliver this option.

I really hope that works for the 2020 upgrades as well! I'm tired of talking to EA!,

I think the magic words were "Can I drop it off on Monday?" I was also sitting on the ANA5 an ACM1 recall campaigns, but there wasn't any pushback, and the dealer knew that my primary reason was to get the WNJ8 update. I explicitly said that I didn't want the appointment otherwise. The dealership has done several already. They did say that since it takes up most of a day and requires some babysitting they intend to limit how many they will schedule in a given week.

Damn, you UK guys seem to be way ahead of us in the US. I'm sked for the re-do as well as the recall on seats at the end of the month. Since my 2020 4S has the Performance Battery Plus (93.4 kWh) I'm hoping I'll get the plug and charge as well.

But have you ever tried 150km/h in Range mode?
i mean, it’s just a bug on a display, or it really allows more than 140?

It's actual 150kph... ?

Indeed.
We certainly don't need it but I like to have it.
I wrote my first software that earned me money in 1971 and was the first to put a digital data logger on a F1 car - I like to know what is going on!

It does not. As mentioned in the press release MY20 need a paid upgrade to the 22kW charger to get Plug & Charge.
