So it's been a couple days. Do you know when you'll be able to pick it up? The forum really needs a detailed look and feedback of the new update (at least I do ? ).
Not as yet, but I pledge to update the forum once I’ve received the vehicle back.
In fairness, there are a number of connectivity gremlins that I mentioned in my earlier post also hopefully being addressed; I think both me and the dealer aren’t clear as to whether the SU will address these as well. One suspects the longer the vehicle remains with them, the SU hasn’t seen these issues be resolved and conversations between them, Reading and AG continue. However, that’s only speculation on my part. I know Porsche Preston have been speaking with AG directly about my issues and have pledged to only return the car once all the gremlins are addressed so I can’t fault them for taking as long as is needed to do so.
One other thing to point out that I note from some of the posts about how Tesla update OTA and Porsche require a recall. It’s only a matter of time before a software update of cars like Taycan’s and Tesla’s becomes corrupted with a virus, either maliciously or otherwise. The benefit of a phased update brought about by all vehicles being recalled over a period of time sees any potential virus being picked up and patched before all vehicles are affected. I can personally understand the more cautious approach of Porsche vs Tesla in this regard. Ultimately, it comes down to risk v convenience and your faith in data security. A bricked car is going to be a lot more costly to address than a bricked laptop or phone.
Personally, I prefer the Porsche way.
