This happened to me a few times yesterday! I knew the Taycan was great at ””flying “” along the motorway, but never thought it could go this high!

Haha. That would be a software bug. In coding speak, 32767 is the highest value number you can store in a signed two byte variable, when the binary digits are all ones. Not cool that it could have a bug like that in production code.

Yup. If the GPS doesn’t have an altitude reading it reverts to that. I find it goes away quickly.
$7FFF = 0111 1111 1111 1111 = 32767

Yes it went away quite quickly but reoccurred three times which surprised me. But nothing serious as long as the navigation does not get similar hiccups. Which I suspect it might have?
