Can you please confirm if the new patch that was installed updated a user visible version number we can see from the PCM ? Otherwise, there is no way to version control what software is actually installed in your car which is a disaster for many reasons.
Almost certainly you cannot see the versions of the various modules in PCM. You never could. They only thing you can see is the PCM and the User Interface version.
With WMA6 update for MY21, at least the user visible PCM version was bumped to 3397. I was hoping something equivalent would be done here.
Great finding!
It looks like software version shown for Sequence 2 of the WMA5 (MY20) update is 0012 for the DME and 0011 for the PE, so yes there is a software update being installed based upon the work order shown above . (Updated to 0014 and 0012)
I had an issue in the UK tonight. I thought it odd that car went into range mode even though I had air con on. On M3 motorway... sat nav took me off at junction and then straight back onto motorway. Then the PCM system blanked and looked like trying to find a connection. Several miles later when I’m in the outside lane I felt a loss of power although nothing showed on dashboard as others have said. I managed to get over to inside lane probably about 50 mph maximum and won’t go faster. I saw signs for Fleet Services so made my way there ... just before I turned off I felt a power surge again. Got onto services and turned car off. Waited about ten mins and started up again. Went into Normal Mode and 60 miles home was fine except M25 congestion.... is this the same issue. Should I report to the dealer?This was the report for my car. So far working well! Fingers crossed it doesn’t happen again.
Not sure. Range mode does limit the car to 100 Kph and the car is not as responsive. Mine actually lost complete control of the pedals and steering - the drive control system.
Do you have the Porsche Intelligent Range Manager (PIRM) in your car? The PIRM does some weird things at times and limits speed and reduces aircon etc to save energy.
Can it be switched off completely? That would be my recommendation. It is very weird what it can do. And not particularly well programmed.
I think it can - Under Vehicle settings there's a sub menu and an option to "Allow advanced PIRM settings" - either on or off.
Was your experience after the software updates or did this occur before you updated your car?There have now been 10 reports filed with the US National highway and traffic safety administration (NHTSA), regarding this exact issue.
The report I filed two days ago was the 10th one: complete loss of power while driving 50 miles an hour on a busy freeway. Thank God I was able to coast downhill to an exit ramp.
Our 2020 Taycan 4S is currently in the shop, and who knows when we will get it back. Regardless, absent an absolute ironclad guarantee from Porsche that this will NEVER happen again, it’s hard to see how we can justify keeping the car, which we otherwise love.
