PSA: "J2" Taycan does not exist (yet). 2025 Taycan facelift refresh model = J1.2

TBH, the official designation I know is not J1.2 but J1PA for the facelift and J1PAX for the Turbo GT of the facelift.
PA stands most likely for “Produkt-Aufwertung“ which would translate into product enhancement.
Of course, keeping J1.2 here on the forums might be more in line with the nomenclature used for eg 992.2.

Interesting that Porsche seem to have so many different ways to describe the facelift model.

Your statement above

Here is the Porsche release presentation naming for the face lift:

J1 l and J1 ll!!

And the the official Porsche website for sales :

No surprise these guys have so many SW issues if they perform their programming in the same manner!?‍??‍?

To be fair, the ".1", ".2" etc. facelift nomenclature is not the official one. It's us, owners and forum users, that got used to it.

The type code for the Taycan family is "9J1", with specific codes Y1A" for the sedan, Y1B for the CT and Y1C for the ST (always 3 characters at Porsche). J1 is the platform name, with J1 I and J1 II being its two variations.

I know this is very nitpicking, pedantic even, but the amount of folks getting this wrong is ridiculous.

There is no such thing as a "J2" Taycan.
This will be reserved for the next generational leap in a few years.

The current facelift Taycan is J1 II or J1.2.
It's the same platform as the original Taycan J1, just a facelift / incremental update.

Why does this matter? In all honesty, to many, it doesn't! However, when the next gen J2 platform does launch in a few years, it's going to make finding correct information on the forums about your car a nightmare. If you're savvy enough to know the car's platform code, you should be savvy enough to get it correct.

Rant over, feel free to ignore

Thanks for highlighting this, been frustrating to see continuous references to the 2025 refresh as J2 or "Taycan 2.0"

Yawn….all modern Porsche models follow the .1 then .2 taxonomy.

Spoiler alert: There is no Santa.

If there is a 100% EV platform for the next generation Taycan, I hope it's based on a new EV only architecture.
The J1 platform itself is based on a modified Panamera chassis which has some setbacks.

If PPE is anything indication then I believe J2 will be an electric only architecture
