Porsche just needs to give up on any advanced software features

So... Charging schedule has been fixed even with J1.2.

You really don't know that. How do you know a 3.5 year old J1.2 will not do exactly what my Taycan just did - completely ignore the settings entered by the user and just charge to 100% instead? I understand that they significantly improved the UX so it's much easier for an average user to understand, but the clusterfuck UX is not my issue here, it's the fact that the the car doesn't do what it says it will (and has done based on the same settings for 3.5 years).

So... Charging schedule has been fixed even with J1.2. They also went a step forward and set a industry standard; info how much power can battery take if connected to the charger . I'm not getting a car without that ever again. I know when the charger is broken and when it's the car.

MY2027 gets a predconditioning button. At least that's what the screenshots suggest. I couldn't care less, but obviously we are all different.

Software in Cayenne is a whole new generation. Taycan MY2027 is getting that stack. It's not identical, as the screens are different, but judging by the screenshots and description, it's the new stack from Cayenne. Widgets, OTA (well, they claim so...), less menu levels, apps...

It is not an SDV still. There are pros and cons to that.

You don't want the PPE stack: go look what the Macan EV and Audi Q6/A6 owners are dealing with...

The MY27 Taycan isn't switching to PPE, it's just getting a refreshed PCM.

We also have no idea how VWAG is going to unify MEB+ (the Rivian stack) with PPE. They've dumped a ton of money into both and there's a lot of internal and inter-company political factors to consider (how many changes is Rivian willing to accept? Are you going to leave the current PPE customers behind?)

Personally, I'm jumping ship to the AMG GT when it arrives. Yeah, the looks are... questionable... but AMG seems to have the power train and software side of things buttoned up.

Eventually, when these cars are completely out of warranty, you will start to see PCM upgrades, battery upgrades, etc. I saw a video recently from a guy who installed a new PCM into his 2011 Cayenne Turbo. He upgraded a bunch of other things as well. Eventually, we’ll see ways to upgrade your PCM to the latest software that hardware can safely handle. It won’t solve all the issues you guys are talking about, but it will help

I set my profile to 80% and the car charges to 80%? Been doing this every night.

@whitex In the past you charged to 85% using general profile.
Then you set one-time timer to charge to 100%.
Then you direct charged to 100%.
Then you deleted the timer, enabled general profile to 85%, and
then car charged to 100%?

Is that the sequence of events?

Do you charge to 100% every time now, or try to time and unplug it manually?

In my case, I never changed any settings at all, so whatever changed was either by Porsche over-the-air, or by Porsche software aging. Perhaps Porsche software has a half-life, gets worse as it ages (ever increasing storage fragmentation, mess of saved states/logs/caches, or perhaps other ECUs get updated creating an impossible number of ECU versions combinations to possibly be able to test before releasing a new one).

It went back to Porsche to fix the same issue (windows getting stuck) for the 3rd time before a second charge. I'll know when I get my car back soon and charge the car again.
