Porsche subscription services are a joke

[ovonrein]

every other manufacturer offers that as part of the car.

Hm... the mileage of that statement will vary tremendously.

Fair point, do you have an example of an EV manufacturer that requires a paid subscription just to view basic state of charge info in the app?

If so, I’m happy to amend it to “most EV manufacturers.”

Primary usage for me is remote cabin pre-conditioning (defrost or re-cool the car before setting off), setting timers (related to pre-conditioning, also charging), and monitoring charging (e.g. was on a trip this past weekend, was AC charging at a hotel, car informed me charging stopped after a few minutes - tried a couple more times, ended up having to move to a different plug - without the app, I wouldn't find out till morning that the AC charging was unsuccessful, also useful when monitoring DC charging).

Agree on the remote monitoring for charging. Just seems that should be included as a free service as it is with Tesla/Rivian and others.

Hmm.... now that I'm paying monthly, Spotify seems to be complaining that I must register with MyPorsche. Nowhere on the iPhone MyPorsche app can find this registration. Anyone know where it is? Now that they have dropped their web based MyPorsche, did they forget to add it to the app? Or is it hidden under some secret menu?

Didn't Porsche Connect receive a boost across all new models last year with a standard 10 year service contract rather than 3?

I believe that is correct. Mine is a J1.1, so only 3 years which recently ended. 10 years was probably a smart move, people feel more annoyed when paid services don't work. If it's free, well, you get what you pay for it.

On Feb. 19, my 22 Taycan's online radio suddenly stopped working. Error message is that this service needs to be registered on My Porsche. All other Connect services continue to work.

Online radio/Porsche Connect is a repeated, unreliable fail.​

The hope in this forum for OTA software updates from a company that can't provide reliable radio is a pipe dream.​

There are no 2025s from sept onward, were there? The are all 2026 from that point, yes?

Or maybe you are just being pedantic on 2026 vs MY26.

You said 2025. Model Year (MY) changes late summer but still calendar year 2025.
