not seeing anything CURRENT on this - first time Porsche owner, but, you know, i'm a human in 2022 so i know what electronics ARE and AREN'T supposed to do. Had the Taycan about 6 months, and have had issues that have finally just set me off.
Does anyone else's car:
-Have the PCM randomly reboot periodically (twice this past weekend) [see video]
-Radio stations (i guess i'm obviously old if i use radio re-sets?) RANDOMLY GET RESET about twice a month. i was assuming it was after a major or semi-major OTA update - but seriously people, c'mon. It saves seat position and other things but loses my radio presets?
-this is a funny one, like someone's playing a trick on me - but my side mirror memory - slowly starts "drooping" - about every 2 months i have to re-aim my side mirror HIGHER because they start drooping over time. Yes, exactly what you're thinking. Except i'm not crazy.
-sometimes the PCM takes at least 2-3 minutes to come on. the backup camera AND surround view come up if you hit the button or put it in reverse. The garage door sometimes do (i have those set to the diamond keys) - but the overall PCM does nothing for 2-3 minutes. this happens once every two weeks or so
i'm 90 minutes from any dealer - and i don't feel like going in for any one of these things - besides - i feel like they're gearheads and not electricians - what could they do? tell me to reboot it and send me home?
my most recent car was a volvo suv - and it had it's odd infotainment eccentricities (literally took 2-3 minutes to change profiles if you switched drivers - and couldn't do ANYTHING while it was changing) - i just didn't know if this is part of the "porsche experience" - putting up with annoying things we shouldn't have to while telling ourselves it's part of the fun of having a Porsche?
