What's the latest software version for 2025 Taycan 4S?

[eqs24s]

Planning to lease a new 2025 Taycan 4S that's been sitting on the lot for a while, and want to make sure all the service and software bulletins have been applied. Which versions or documentation should I be looking for?

4360 is latest for MY25

3885 is the latest for MY20-24

4578 is the version MY26 ships with. Maybe the other cars will be updated eventually to 4576, but I wouldn't bet on it.

What is the difference between 3885 and whatever preceded it (3882?) for MY20-24?

I have noticed no difference in my car.

Seems it’s only purpose is addressing PCM freezing on porsche logo, log-in issues and other communication issues. No new functionality, or responsiveness improvement

Is it being installed OTA? When did it get rolled out?

Not OTA, no. Installed by dealers; there is no update campaign, it’s installed only if a customer complains about connectivity problems, porsche logo freeze, etc

There is a TSB about it; will look for it later when I can - the remedy of the TSB is to update to 3885 2020-2024 cars

Here is the TSB for 3885 update @Tooney :

I also see version 3885 in this TSB: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2025/MC-11021601-0001.pdf
Various PCM software versions - some apparently optional - in MY2020-24 Taycans. Oh, goody!

I can confirm that will not be OTA (at least at present). My car is in for service now, and one problem is the stuck "Porsche" on booting up. Service advisor stated that the update to version 3885 is not being rolled out to all cars. As far as he knew there are no added features, it was simply to address the stuck screen.

The whole philosophy of "wait until the owners complain" before fixing an issue, just to save some money in the short term will be the end of Porsche.

In earlier version of same TSB in Feb. 2024, the solution for Porsche logo freeze was to update to 3882.

I agree, but possibly might have to disagree when I get my car back from servicing in a day or two. My SA tells me there were 8 software updates they were doing. I'm very curious to see what was involved. My only software complaint when booking it for service was an intermittent stuck "Porsche" when booting up. With minor/non-safety updates I kind of understand waiting until the car is in for service to avoid swamping the service bays. That said, OTA would be so much nicer for all parties. Some day maybe.
