Hi - still getting used to my Taycan.
Mild frost today - loving the preheat timer so the car, seat and wheel are warm when I get in.
My only issue is demisting the rear side windows.
Played around with the settings but with little impact. Seems like there are no vents that can direct air to the rear windows.
Do you have any tips to share?
The images show my settings.
Thank you.

Don't breathe as heavily 😁

Never noticed this in mine and don't have anything specific on a/c set up.

What temp do you have set? And how far back do you sit? Is this with rear passenger(s)?

Turn the 'Individual' setting OFF and leave in 'Diffuse' setting (and Auto)
The system works it out for itself and works super efficiently
(Don't even need recirculate setting)
If it doesn't clear in 30 seconds the A/C compressor is # and is not dehumidifying the air

Yep, both rear windows misted and hadn't cleared in preheat or during my drive to work (only 10 mins).
Car isn't garaged and it was chilly today.
Temp at 22.
I can feel air on my right hand but not on the window itself.
And very little air movement in the rear.
I'll check tonight that the vents and fan speed are on max and see if that cures it.

Worked like a dream today - thank you.

Excellent.
Trying to adjust the vents in Individual mode with the touch screen is the single, most dumb, useless feature on the Taycan. Bar none.
At first it irritated me beyond for about a week until I realised that Diffuse mode works perfectly in all situations. Press Auto, set temperature, Diffuse will do the rest.
Last year, I was bored, in the car so I tried Focussed for a day. Just not the same. Didn’t do it for me. Back to Diffused. Been there ever since.
