Did you notice that the Porsche Taycan is delivered without Electrically operated steering column?

[jvdsanden]

For a car from the premium class and especially if you have seat memory, this should be standard, or am I too spoiled?

You cannot get it as an option and it was present when the car was introduced (I was able to find the latter via YouTube).

When I mentioned it at Porsche they told me this was a CHIP issue.

But does the car now being delivered (after juli 2022) with Electrically operated steering column?

Is has been removed because of the chip shortage. Gts trims and above will still get it. So RWD, 4 and 4s wi not get it anymore

Unless you change drivers on a regular basis, I don’t think this is a significant issue. Although my car (June ‘23 GTS) does have it, I have not touched the button since I drove out of the showroom!

Without it does the steering wheel move out of the way …when you get out

You don't use comfort access as well? Makes getting and out easier. I am very happy that mine, as one of the last still got it (MY 22 RWD).

I have comfort access, but I’m not sure it makes a huge amount of difference - maybe I’ll take more notice when I go out later!

I find comfort access useless because it only moves some things. For example
It doesn’t change seat height or steering wheel height - if you are very tall the seat is already back and the wheel back too, so it does nothing.

I switched comfort access off, I am 73 only slightly over weight but I don’t need it and it is unpleasant if you have a rear seat passenger.

GTS models and above.

It used to part of the memory package until a chip shortage saw it removed with 4S and below models no longer getting it.

I have the memory pack and I haven't missed it (as I never had it) and don't have any problem getting into or out of the car (other than old age ). The seat moving backwards is handy.

Also useful to get the steering wheel out of the way for entry/exit of the very same driver.

Turn it off and see if you miss it. Sometimes we don't notice nice features until they are gone.

Look at it this way. One less thing to go wrong. Set it and forget it.
