Does anyone know if you can bring the nose down slightly while driving?

From what I've read, Range mode and Sport/Sport Plus all lower the entire car. I don't know that there's any control over just the front end. I'll trust that the engineers at Porsche have done their homework on the aerodynamics...

Standard but I'm not sure it'll work at any speed.
If no one else aswers that, I'll tell you Saturday as I'm going to pick up my car.
I sure hope it does. Honestly, I am still quite surprised that companies have not done more in this space, especially in cars like this that have a really small rear window. We now have the availability of a passenger screen (that nobody in particular was asking for) but still not digital rear view mirror.

There are: Audi E-tron (expensive option though), Honda E (standard, both left/right and rear view), Lexus (world first).

Lots of reasons why it hasn’t happened yet. Clarity: A mirror has higher definition/resolution than any camera & screen. Your eyes have better dynamic range than cameras & screens.

here’s another reason that affects me, but maybe not everyone: near & far-sightedness. I wear glasses so I can have 20/20 vision at a distance. That works great for my view out the front windshield and the rear window via the mirror. My focus is distant and clear.

now, if you replaced my mirror with a camera and screen, now I have to focus up close, on the screen. That doesn’t work; my vision is now compromised.

Yes, sometimes I struggle switching between lookjng outside (clear with glasses) and looking at fine details on the Nav screen (clear without glasses).

that’s just me. I’m getting older.
