...I swear I just saw it, fleetingly, bottom item on the main PCM display menu, when I got in the car today (I'd just unplugged the power supply so could see the charge screen until I got in). I didn't notice what menu was showing (and I don't recall whether the item box was ticked), but without my intervention, I was then suddenly looking at the normal PCM Drive menu I'd left up from my previous trip, bottom item Recuperation.
I was going to ask this question "for a friend", but it would take too much effort to maintain the pretence.
Has anyone else seen it? Is it a known bug? Have I seen a ghost of Porsches past? It might be no coincidence that it was only yesterday that I received my Porsche Mystical Pylon.
I need to have my phone ready to take a picture next time I get in (though it's not recurred today).
I don't drink... but I may need to take it up again now.

Have another shot and move on, you didn't see anything. ;)

Yep, I really should have asked "for a friend" 😁
Perhaps I should point the dashcam at the centre display until I catch the PCM in the act 🔍

I’ve seen it. They won’t let you see it long enough to take a picture though….

Well, not that I have the option, but I've just learned that the Electric Sport Sound simulates blips, so at least there'd be a reason to switch it. Perhaps Porsche have taken a leaf out of the Tesla Easter Egg book. (I've not found the Porsche Flatulence Feature yet.)

I was once offered the option of "Gravel Mode" on the non-CT 4S. It didn't do anything when pressed, however.

Maybe it only shows itself to The Chosen Few.
I'd better reposition my dashcam to capture its second coming.

I noticed / heard the actual auto blip a year + ago with my Sport sound (which I detest) so don't see a need for a button to be honest.

What I did notice today was a full list of Drive Modes including Gravel on my T4S saloon which doesn't have Sports Chrono (I hate the dash wart) for probably as long as you saw Auto Blip.
