Are these showing up on the My Porsche website or was this something that was just verbally communicated to you? I ask, because here in Ireland I've never seen an "update available" on the site or app.
That was stated in an email, when I sent in a bug report. Nothing ever in the app or the web site for me either, and absolutely nothing in the car.

Seems Porsche keep this a secret!

Taycan Sport Turismo - 20"

my only problem (so far...) was from the 1st day : impossible to link the car to the app.

It took them 7 months to solve it by replacing the communication module which they should have done from the beginning.

I spent countless hours online (totally useless, they would never contacting me back), went 3 or 4 times to the dealer (useless too).

Can only agree with previous posts on upgrades, with one comment : I don't think they keep it secret, they just don't know :rolleyes: Like in the old days, when the IT guru (the only one with the Admin password) was also the only one with the knowledge. There must be just one single guy working on all Taycan IT/softwares/upgrades issues ....

Other than that, yes, it's an amazing car.

Like with my door handle problem. I found the solution on this forum. Forwarded the official Porsche note and a film of what was wrong and still had to go in four times before they did what I suggested the first time. Such a loss of valuable time. First diagnosis to confirm it is a defect. Second software update. Third 2 handles changed fourth all handles changed and finally solved. Some for a leak in the trunk. Sent a mail and pictures where the leak was. They changed something else and didn’t look at my mail. They probably think I am anoying owner that is surfing on internet to much and just deny what I sent them.

and still it is an amazing car ?.

I've had my Taycan for exactly 6 months and after 7000 km I can say I'm very satisfied.
Only problems: black screen a couple of times but only for a few minutes, line assist malfunction resolved with a day at the CP.
Fantastic car, every time I drive it it's a joy... like the Macan S that I've had since 2015, I think I'll keep it for several years with an extended warranty, if there are problems I'll deal with them without regrets...

2025 Taycan GTS

To be fair, the GTS is so brilliant as a daily driver that it's easy to imagine keeping the car for the long haul. Depreciation is irrelevant if you don't sell!
It really is, but my chief irritant (which seems to grow with time) is difficult ingress/egress due to the B-piller placement.

I'm *really* looking forward to getting back into a 2 door again, as soon as the E-Boxster ships.
