The NHTSA website is a little goldmine full of information. Do a search for 2020 Porsche Taycan on https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls#vehicle and scroll down to find 208(is a clickable link on that page) manufacturer communications from Porsche about the Taycan.

Wouldn't it be nice if an owner could see the technical status of his/her Taycan on a Porsche website, showing applied modifications, software versions, etcetera.

I have shared many TSBs from the NHTSA site in this forum. The only problem is that it is lagging behind about a month. The May TSBs will be on the site around June 10 or so.

It also includes a lot of useless docs, like TSBs for equipment and list of approved engine oils... (because it was marked as "document applies to all Porsche models")

Yeah, it contains some documents that don't apply or are not of much interest. Still, some of the documents are great read.

For example the "big update" (WMA5/WMA6/WMA7) that fails for a lot of cars. The prerequisite for applying the corrections are very strict, I can understand the many failed attempts because of this.
