Yes I was playing a while and it's only the passenger mirror that adjusts. I put car in reverse and adjust passenger mirror and then do a Set and 1 on door memory buttons.

Discovered that when I checked the settings. Passenger mirror is selected but there’s no way to select the driver’s mirror.

It only lowers the passenger mirror because that's the side a curb would be on when street parking.

Hi Luke,
I've had my turbo for 3 months and love it with one exception, the Satellite reception. When in areas with trees and the like the satellite looses reception in places where all my other cars are fine. They do have a whale tail antenna which of course the Taycan doesn't. Have you heard of any modification, solution for this? I know by the forums I'm not alone. Thanks for your time. Marc

At the moment still no updates to this. Hopefully a better solution coming soon but we shall see.

It only does the passenger mirror for parallel parking purposes to my knowledge.

Luke: do dealers know about changes to vehicle lock and production dates? My build was originally supposed to be locked on 11/20 and in production 11/27 but for some reason it was advanced to 11/6. My sales associates claims there’s no way to know that this happens but that strikes me as suspect. Why would porsche have a lock and production date if it is subject to changes? And why wouldn’t the sales associate or dealer be notified?

Your sales advisor is correct. Porsche does not directly notify the dealership (and especially not the salesman) of any updates to delivery timing.

Porsche is usually very conservative with production updates. They are estimates and sometimes they can advance certain cars through the production line quicker than others.

Wish I had a more in depth answer for you, but all Porsche Vehicle Tracking information is relayed to us via updates from Germany to our tracker. Unless we check it daily we sometimes aren't aware of a slight variation in production timing.

My build just got pushed from November build until January build because PSCB brakes are on a stop order thru December. I wasn't told why but the first orders with PSCB brakes aren't allowed until January 2021 builds. Luke are you getting this issue on your November/December builds with PSCB?

Anyone else running into this as it will be the difference between getting a Mission E wheel or not for builds in November and December. I believe this is a world wide issue.

Yes I have been with quite a few of my builds.

Apparently there is some hold from the US EPA.

Stop sale should expire in December though, we have been told that Porsche is making this a priority to get approval so that clients with ordered cars can have their vehicles enter into production ASAP.

After four bespoke Porsche’ in the last eight years, nothing has changed. Local dealers do not know an early lock date until it is too late to change anything. Have learned to make sure of our options two weeks in advance of the estimated lock date.

This is the way I try to order every car with a client. I try to call my clients 2-4 weeks before the order "locks in" in order to make sure it's 100% what they're wanting.

Ask your Salesperson to send you a screenshot of the Porsche Sales and Tracking Information screen for your car.

If my salesperson had done that I might have not had to cancel my order and buy another Taycan somewhere else!

Is there a way to be on a "list" so when there is an update I'll be notified? My car had minor damage to the front bumper(car hit it while parked)and was sent to a Porsche Dealer for alignment and when it got there was told there were 2 open recalls - a computer update and something with a drain. If I didn't bring the car in how would I have known about these?

Eventually, your Porsche Dealership would be required to notify you about the recall.

They work off of a list and go in order based on the date the vehicle was sold.

If you just happen to come in for a different service reason, they will usually complete the recalls at that time since it is already in the shop.
