I have a question about the rear spoiler, I have driven a lot at high speeds and all driving modes, but the only time the rear spoiler comes out is when it is in range mode. Any reason why? Thanks in advance.

The spoiler typically deploys above 80mph to increase downforce on the rear end.

I'm not sure about why it comes out in Range mode. Would seem to me like it would increase drag, but maybe it is doing something to the overall efficiency/drag of the Taycan.

The Taycan is the only Porsche model with a Spoiler that you cannot deploy on your own while driving (you can deploy it when stationary in cleaning mode to clean underneath of it) and when we had our trainings Porsche said it was because of the aerodynamics at certain times needing to be optimized in certain ways and they didn't want customers messing up the air flow.

I wouldn't worry about it! Just let it do it's thing, I'm sure the Porsche aero engineers know best.

I believe this is where more Functions on Demand (FOD) will be placed, such as InnoDrive if you optioned Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), probably Electric Sport Sound, maybe Ambient Lighting. Things to personalize the car more after purchase.

Heads Up Display costs $1,850 and will be available on MY21' configurations. Dealers have access to the MY21' configurator now.

MY21' configurator should be live to all countries by Novemberish.

I have a MY2021 order that had a November build date. My dealer just contacted me saying they couldn’t add the contrast stitching I have on my order. I hope this is just a minor timing issue. I said I didn’t want the car without out it and would be willing to wait.

Luke, any thoughts on how long a wait that will be? Have you had any orders with contrast stitching yet and confirmed build dates? Thanks

Hey there!

Your order probably went to a V260 slot, which means that no further changes can be made to the build - which is probably why the dealership is saying that they couldn't add it to your order.

Either that, or the Contrast Stitching hasn't been made totally available yet for MY21' builds or is causing a delay. The contrast stitching has to go to another department and they might not yet be prepared to handle MY21' orders.

In either case, I understand you wanting to wait for the order with what you want in it. I have not yet had a Taycan order have contrast stitching, but I have had/seen several 911 orders with it and it is a beautiful option if done right.

@LukeManning Are you able to confirm if the 14 way seats on the Standard interior are the same as the 14 way seats with Full Leather?

I've found my 14 way seats to be too firm & awkward around my upper back and I'm curious if getting Full Leather and/or Olea and/or without ventilation would have improved their feel.

@LukeManning any way to connect with Porsche customs folks on the ground at the Davisville port to understand timing for a cars release from customs? Mines been there since Friday with no update (per my dealer)?

Unfortunately Porsche has zero control over this and the port people will steadfastly refuse to communicate anything. Nothing to be done except wait.

My concerns and assumption...damn. Curious how long have folks waited once the car was “onshore”?

Make sure Private Mode is INACTIVE on your Porsche Connect and Privacy Settings screen. Also double check List All Porsche Connect Services and then scroll down to the Online PMC Updates and make sure it is Active. It should activate after you do this online under Adapt Car Connect settings.
How do you change Private Mode? On website or app or car? Can’t find on Porsche Connect website...
