Can you change Drive Mode with the ”Hey Porsche” voice feature in the 2021 Taycan?

US manual page 266 offers sample voice commands for different applications. It does not mention drive mode capability i.e. Range, Normal etc.
Have not tried it, will have to next drive.

No way would they let the voice recognition touch anything to do with the drive system. Can you imagine the liability that would come with?

Not sure they would have more liability if I change it by voice rather than manually.

He means if you said "Hey Porsche, take me to fort whus" and it unexpectedly shifted you into Sport Plus and you crashed.

Spec Sport Chrono (which you should be anyway) and you have a sweet dial on your steering wheel.

Agree --it was on the 2020 I tested but I 'm a cheap SOB and was trying to save the $1320. I'l add it. Ordering the car today.

Anybody out there want to buy a gorgeous 2017 Tesla S100D? With the new MCU2?
